New solutions need to be implemented to meet the needs generated by growing traffic, especially at the fixed and mobile access layer.
This report responds to key questions for traffic management: strategies by operators, equipment providers and Internet giants, technology solutions that can be deployed, as well as the regulatory framework around traffic growth. |

The concept of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) has become ever more important with the rise of the Internet economy, both fixed and mobile, with the internet titans offering APIs for third party developers to develop upon. Telcos have reacted by building APIs on top of their SDP strategies thus further enlarging the developer platform of these Internet titans.
This report benchmarks the most important initiatives and projects of telcos and vendors, then analyses their strategies on both SDP and APIs, for both internal and external business models. |

Building a more and more intelligent network has been a long-term goal. But what does ‘intelligent’ mean? As a term, it is easily misinterpreted and seen as a fuzzy notion. Opposed to a ‘dumb’ network on which packets are transported to their destinations without any questions, an intelligent network has the ability to monitor network behaviour along with end-user experience. It is the in-depth data made available by Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) that makes the network more intelligent, thus adding some smarts into a network infrastructure. |

One thing is clear: Internet video will continue to expand and now constitutes a path for development and diversification for TV industry players. Timeshifted viewing is still only nascent and a great many players from inside and outside the television industry are gambling on a position in this market. After the first trials and rollouts, we have reached a consolidation phase where the issue of turning a profit is being raised. Up until now, only the sector’s leaders appeared capable of achieving a positive revenue/cost differential with their services (excluding committed costs). |
