Carriers and service providers are working today in a highly competitive environment. The customer has multiple choices for access – cable, DSL, satellite, fixed-wireless IP, hosting and wholesale – and many more when selecting his data centre provider. And switching providers is easy. In addition, many carriers have made huge investments in network infrastructure, such as access and backbone networks, and find themselves with decreasing revenues (due to competition) on the other side.
As a result, carriers and service providers are looking for new ways to better use their existing infrastructure in order to:
