Overview:
Best Practices from Winning Operators for Sustainable Service Models on High-Bandwidth Access Networks

Competition and rapidly evolving subscriber preferences are forcing service providers to offer ever more for less – if not less ARPU, then certainly a lot less ARPU per unit of bandwidth consumed. These forces place intense pressure on operator business models and cost structures, as performance requirements continue to climb while richer entertainment and communication revenue sources disappear into over-the-top delivery modes. How can operators build sustainable, profitable strategies on the next generation of high-bandwidth FTTx networks in this context, and continue to invest for the future? This is the grand challenge facing the service provider community over the next few years, one rarely addressed through in-depth discussion of real-world examples of practical strategies operators are employing now to meet this challenge. Join us for an on-line roundtable discussion with leading access-market analysts – including Dave Burstein, editor of DSL Prime, Jeff Heynen from Infonetics, Vince Vittore, Principal Analyst-Enabling Technologies of Yankee Group and Simon Sherrington from Light Reading – who will share best practices they've seen in their travels among the field's most innovative service providers. Attendees will learn:

• Why falling ARPU per Mbit/s and over-the-top services represent such a threat to long-term profitability

• The strategies leading operators are employing now to combat this threat

• How the next generation of high-bandwidth access network gear is driving significant cost-structure reductions *This is a custom Webinar. Light Reading does not endorse the subject matter supplied by Zhone Technologies.
