Value Added Telecom Service Markets: Strategic Position and Market Forecasts 2000 To 2005


Were you in Geneva at the ITU conference? Did you hear the conversation relating to broadband? What is the broadband going to be used for? Will there be excess capacity? This study addresses the issues. Broadband is being used to implement e-commerce and the Internet. Value added services promise to represent an increasingly significant component of access charges in the local loop. Value added services markets are evolving as the Internet grows and as telecommunications connectivity becomes a commodity service.
The convergence of voice and data is creating a path of network packet based systems that are capable of intelligent information transmission. Demand for competitive services in neighborhood nodes is evolving a plethora of advanced, integrated voice, Internet, data, video, and audio offerings.
Demand for Internet services, deregulation of markets, availability of entertainment over the Internet, and increases in network traffic due to e-mail and more voice traffic as long distance charges decline are major market driving forces.
