A digital society affects change in the way of life and we have only just begun to see commercial offerings from telecom service providers. They have transformed from being traditional monopolistic telecommunication operators to become multimedia communication service providers. The industry evolved from providing a communication service in fixed telephony to one where fixed telecom operators introduced Triple Play (fixed telephony, broadband and IPTV) to counter the erosion of fixed line subscribers. As a digital society becomes more entrenched, service providers continue to change their business models to capture these opportunities. This quest to meet the demands of a digital citizen leverages on the growing trend of convergence in telecommunications, IT and media industries. Service providers are expanding their Triple Play bundle to include media as a Quad Play offering. During the briefing Frost Sullivan will attempt to illustrate the potential revenue to the service provider and the likely investments service providers will need to meet the Quad Play opportunities.
Highlights of the briefing include a discussion on the different routes undertaken by traditional telecom operators and service providers from the media and IT industries. In turn, we attempt to quantify the potential CAPEX that will feed into the eco-system of players.
This briefing will benefit telecommunications, media and entertainment service and content providers.
At the end of the day, the revenue potential hinges partly on the consumer's expectations as well as propensity to spend and partly on the provider's ability to deliver, customise and thus monetise traffic, says Yiru Zhong, Frost Sullivan Analyst for ICT group. For example, traditional Telcos and other service providers such as broadcasters and other high definition content aggregators, have a critical operational need to demand high quality, reliable and secure networks for content delivery. Telecom operators stand to generate revenues as a transport network especially if those with flexibility in offering various Quality of Service (QoS) levels at corresponding price points. This is an important change in order to compensate for the decline in bundled service margins.
