Market trends that had had a significant impact on carriers' CAPEX capex strategies in 2007 include FTTxfiber to the "x" (FTTx) adoption, TDMtime-division multiplexing (TDM) legacy to IP/next-generation network (NGN) migration, on-demand service development, and TCOtotal cost of ownership (TCO) reduction requirements. Professional services, wireless infrastructure, and network management accounted for the largest Capex capex segments in 2007. Data transport, optical transmission, and next next-generation wireless mobile infrastructure, and broadband wireless Capex capex categories are expected to drive growth during the forecast period ending 2012. "Rigid carrier/equipment vendor relationships are the norm for most carrier Capex capex categories; and foreign equipment and IT vendors will most likely continue to struggle in the Japanese market. However, at the same time, the over-dependence of local vendors to NTT and other leading local carriers may weaken the competitiveness of local vendors in overseas markets. As such, major local vendors should actively explore new opportunities overseas for standards based products. In addition, foreign vendors should leverage their scale and advanced technologies to differentiate themselves in the local market," says George Hoffman, Group group manager, Communications Research, IDC Japan.

The overarching message NSN gave was its focus to support open interfaces and open platforms. It is interesting to note that NSN did not mention anything about the likely impact of the current financial crisis on NSN's activities and order flow.

It includes pure-play mobility players as well as unified communications (UC) players that consider mobility as an integral part of UC. Besides analyzing the players' mobility strategy, portfolio, and go to market, the study also investigates their UC plays. "The industry focus on UC suggests that mobile devices will play a pivotal role in enterprise collaboration. Collaboration entails sharing information and files in a Web 2.0 fashion. Hence, mobile experience will increasingly adapt to the evolving Web experience of collaboration and communication. This is where UC will cross paths with mobility," says Shalini Verma, research manager, Communications Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.

This study is based on a 40-slide PowerPoint presentation and analyzes key competitive and technological trends impacting the small business market. "Bundling has recently begun to emerge as a force in the small business segment," said Matt Davis, program director, Business Multiplay Services. "In addition to core voice and broadband services, wireless has begun to impact bundles and video services such as television and videoconferencing are gaining momentum as well."

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=PM08Qhttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=PM08QThe managed services market for service providers will continue to grow and service providers will especially seek managed services to enable them to focus on driving new business opportunities, for example around unified communications. Key market players, such as Nokia Siemens Networks, Ericsson, Nortel, or Alcatel-Lucent, can benefit from this trend. "Wireless operators in Western Europe have been more willing than fixed-line operators to outsource the expansion, operation, and management of their wireless networks to network equipment vendors. However, IDC believes that there will be a significant opportunity for managed services offered to European fixed-line service providers," said Roosmarijn Cornelissen, research analyst, European Network Life-Cycle Services.
