This market report carried out by IDATE try to answer the following question: Can network outsourcing become the norm of the industry? We believe this question falls within a much broader one on the future models of telecom operators. As carriers in advanced markets face usage, growth, globalization and regulatory challenges, they will increasingly steer away from their generalist positioning to improve their return on invested capital. |

Increasingly, the Internet Protocol is being used to distribute television services. But the protocol, which has become common to a wide array of fixed and mobile networks, offers myriad scenarios and options for implementation. This shift favours the emergence of new entrants, in particular telecom network operators, service providers and aggregators. This study has two objectives: on the one hand, to provide a frame of reference enabling a more focused appreciation of the changes and challenges associated with turning to IP for video distribution; on the other hand, to gain a sense of what the market for video over IP will look like in the near future with regard to services, players and systems. |

Femtocells have seemingly gone from cult to mainstream in the space of a year. Despite this, no femtocells have been deployed commercially and considerable hurdles must be overcome before units can be rolled out on a wide-scale basis. As such, the approach of this report is to present the views of leading experts from the vendor and operator communities, as well as a summary of the activities of all concerned in bringing femtocells to market. It is hoped that this will provide an effective overview of the market as it stands now, albeit one that is necessarily incomplete and a work in progress. |

The sustained growth in Internet traffic and its expansion over the next few years could result in saturation of the infrastructure. Faced with such a prospect, how can the players involved plan for sharing the required investments and, more importantly, how can operators position themselves to capture the value associated with distributed content. |

Building a more and more intelligent network has been a long-term goal. But what does ‘intelligent’ mean? As a term, it is easily misinterpreted and seen as a fuzzy notion. Opposed to a ‘dumb’ network on which packets are transported to their destinations without any questions, an intelligent network has the ability to monitor network behaviour along with end-user experience. It is the in-depth data made available by Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) that makes the network more intelligent, thus adding some smarts into a network infrastructure. |

This IDATE report examines the challenges that arise from the transition
from PSTN to Next Generation Access Networks. The study illustrates
different types of fibre-based network architecture and their specific implications
in the competition arena. The issues identified are further presented
in a European regulatory context. |
