The current M&A binge in the telecom industry is keeping investment bankers extremely busy. It has also led some pundits to proclaim that the telecom industry is transforming back into its old Ma Bell structure. On the surface, it’s easy to see why. And, a question on countless minds - will innovation be snuffed out?
This report examines the relationship between consolidation and its impact on the expected direction of market innovations. The report examines not just why certain companies have merged, but how. In an industry dominated by relationships, understanding the underlying personal agendas and relationships of key executives offers critical insight into future directions and who will survive and who will not.
The report is based on primary, in-depth interviews with service providers, manufacturers and investment companies such as AT&T, Alcatel, Verizon, SBC, BellSouth and others. The research offers a comprehensive perspective of the industry as a whole and explains the new drivers of innovation. An analysis of how carriers compete and what services they offer are addressed in the report.
The report also sheds light on how the new "throw-away" mentality at the RBOCs is completely changing product development lifecycles and the dollar amount being spent on R&D.
Who Can Use this Report?
The report will help component suppliers, hardware vendors, and service providers understand how they should respond, where they should spend their R&D dollars, and who will be driving innovation now, both within the U.S. and globally.
