Is cloud collaboration going to be an important facet of the mobile network market from here on? If so, what do telcos and other companies have to change to properly intercept the opportunity? It is becoming clear that now is the time to enter cloud computing; to start experimental offerings and to launch them. If a telco hasn’t already launched services, or is just dabbling in go-to-market services, then it might already be too late.

This time we have Alcatel Lucent's Marcio Nespatti talking about the 'high leverage' network. Without it, says Alcatel-Lucent, network operators are in danger of falling into a commodity trap where the marginal cost of transporting data is higher than its corresponding marginal revenue.

Some incumbent operators appear to be sticking their heads in the sand when it comes to Fibre to the Home, taking a ‘wait and see’ attitude rather than embracing it with open arms. But as is often the case with new opportunities, the right approach at the beginning is vital if operators are to be successful. TelecomTV’s Martyn Warwick talks to Senior Yankee Analyst Benoit Felten about the emergence of new fibre business models and the split in the attitudes of the world’s incumbents.

Martyn Warwick talks with Ireland’s operator eircom about the difficulties faced by network operators when building and migrating to an FTTH network. Michael Browne, Access Network Strategist, admits that the lack of power provision by fibre is a major factor when comparing the service potential to that of a copper network.

Juniper Networks Richard Brandon talks about the latest prosumer trends such as mass personlisation and bi-directionality and the implications this will have for the network as operators seek to differentiate themselves in this growing industry.

Future demand for network capacity will be highly variable depending on how compelling new service offerings are. If the network is to cope, it needs to be flexible. But with the expense of installation of Optical and the additional expense of maintaining existing infrastructure while change is underway, is a complete optical network likely to happen in the near future? And will domestic or enterprise demand be the driving force behind the need for change?

Since the early 1900s Engineers and Technicians have put millions of hours into understanding broadcast technology. The many experts who have contributed to a system so essential to all of our lives deserve the world’s respect, but just as this is widely accepted, broadcasters are having the carpet pulled from under their feet as this knowledge becomes redundant in the new IP world. In a super fast and forced volte-face, broadcasters are now turning to their counterparts in the communications industry, looking for advice, knowledge and understanding in a parallel universe of technological development. It’s time for the Engineers to put away their precious nature, as we host a knowledge sharing panel which can hopefully help the broadcasters to understand the networks.
