The New Face of Competition
The face of competition is changing as the population has
access to more mobility and more broadband. The lines are
being blurred between computing and communications, voice
and data, content and traditional services. Cloud services
and widgets are changing how we live, work and play. There's
more openness than ever before. In this heady mix, there are
plenty of opportunities and plenty of questions: Are CLECs
still relevant? What's the value of the network in a
third-party ecosystem? How and why is competition evolving?
Our top service provider executives talk about what they see
