As CSPs deploy IP access networks, the reality is that all traffic is data, all products are applications, and every user is unique. That is a fundamental change to the identity of a CSP. One of the key enablers of this profound transformation is innovation. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D532-00-88-00-00 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:37:30 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D532-00-88-00-00 Stratecast Strategic Forecasting This quarter, the market continued to decline in subscribers and revenue. It is clear the trend will likely continue in the coming years. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D543-00-B9-00-00 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 09:44:31 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D543-00-B9-00-00 Stratecast Strategic Forecasting This survey was conducted with 301 U.S.-based IT decision makers, reflecting a range of company sizes and industries. Stratecast looked beyond cloud adoption to ask our IT decision-maker respondents about their use of virtualization within their own private data centers. In doing so, we are seeking to understand their investment choices and priorities across a broad range of data center challenges, not just those related directly to cloud computing. The responses, presented in this study, will be of interest to cloud service providers, managed service providers, data center consultants, and systems integrators who are interested in helping enterprises build a data center roadmap that will serve their companies in the future. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=99E4-00-06-00-00 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:29:31 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=99E4-00-06-00-00 Stratecast Strategic Forecasting Year-over-year growth rate for IPTV and satellite providers is decreasing, indicating subscribers are likely moving to over-the-top services. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D543-00-B7-00-00 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:45:30 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D543-00-B7-00-00 Stratecast Strategic Forecasting Postpaid is growing slowly, while prepaid continues to increase its subscribership substantially. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D543-00-B8-00-00 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:45:30 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D543-00-B8-00-00 Stratecast Strategic Forecasting This report looks at the real-time rating & charging and other core billing sector. Rating & charging and other core billing is the second of four major functional domains that define end-to-end billing for the CSP marketplace. This report includes a market share analysis, five-year market forecast, and assessment profiles for the 76 suppliers identified as offering rating & charging and/or other core billing solutions. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D532-00-87-00-00 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 09:29:31 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D532-00-87-00-00 Stratecast Strategic Forecasting Throughout the year, as part of our industry coverage and custom research, Stratecast analysts seek out and report on trends that are shaping the future of communications. As the end of the year approaches, we are taking this opportunity to identify the trends that will have the greatest impact in the next year, and why. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=A314-00-70-00-00 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 16:53:33 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=A314-00-70-00-00 Stratecast Strategic Forecasting This week's SPIE looks closer at what constitutes the M2M space and the phenomenal growth rate this market sector is experiencing. It identifies the industry sectors where M2M is having the greatest impact, and explains some business scenarios that involve M2M in ways different than traditional machine-to-machine connectivity by involving new billing-based monetization strategies. The report also explains how one billing solution supplier Cycle30 facilitates enhanced M2M offerings through its cloud-based monetization solution. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D564-00-21-00-00 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 13:02:30 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D564-00-21-00-00 Stratecast Strategic Forecasting In this SPIE, we consider how PaaS can be the tipping point for enterprise cloud adoption. We examine how PaaS has the potential to overcome limitations of many cloud offers in solving enterprise needs. Specifically, we take a look at a recent addition to IBM's cloud strategy, a PaaS offer that integrates platform and infrastructure to allow enterprises to build, manage, integrate, and run their workloads; seamlessly bridging premises-based private clouds, hybrid clouds, and hosted public clouds. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D564-00-20-00-00 Fri, 9 Dec 2011 14:36:31 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/segment-toc.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D564-00-20-00-00
