Market dynamics and challenges
2
11
Market dynamics
• Legacy systems give way to next-generation networks Architectural evolutions in telecommunication core and access networks such as Frame Relay and SDH to Ethernet and IP VPN
• Further pan-European consolidation of telecom operators expected Serve competition in the industry, ongoing mergers and acquisitions
• All major players in the market focused on reducing cost basesNetwork access costs form a substantial and increasing proportion of their total service related costs, and operators are working hard to cut them
• Top line revenue stagnatingDue to deregulation and increased competition, both have eroded prices and encouraged commoditisation
The challenge is to drive new revenues at higher margins by developing value added services whilst maintaining a strong focus on costs so that you
can improve profitability.
12
Access challenges
• Manage relationships with multiple suppliers
• Achieve operational efficiencies with lowest unit cost of off-net access
• Cope with pressure on your margins due to increased competition
• Be prepared for rising bandwidth needs
• Satisfy your customers’ demands for greater network coverage
• Comply with ever more stringent regulations
Market dynamics create Access challenges
13
Core business “defocus" • If you decide to build your own network:
– Slow time to market– Significant amount of CAPEX and OPEX is required– Investors are in short supply, and they’re nervous
• If you decide to buy single circuits from different vendors in several countries:– Complexity increases– Logistic challenges arise– Economies of scale are limited– Cultural barriers and different business practises may appear– Development status of third-party network technology affects you
Most operators are not looking to build their own networks – it’s expensive and the capital just isn’t available. Therefore the third party route is being actively considered.
The challenge is to minimize the number of different suppliers so that you can benefit from the economies of scale and reduce carrier relation effort.
