http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/svcg.pag/ITTL - Communications Services Research en-us Market Engineering Research Service Service providers need to transform their telecom networks at multiple layers. The IP transformation results in a converged service delivery environment that separates network access from services access. Next generation network transformation investments can be split into core and access investments. This research service has selected case studies of telecom service providers about their network transformation. The research service also describes the industry challenges and market drivers service providers face in their network transformations. The best service transformation strategies and the business cases and are discussed.
