Abstract :

Unprecedented technological innovations, proliferation of IP connectivity and consumer device adoption trends are forcing enormous fundamental changes to telecom infrastructure well ahead of the historical and projected network lifecycles. Margin compression from accelerated competition and increased performance requirements have inextricably altered how telecom carriers now view once-traditional network assets. Divestiture, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and assets value resets will accelerate across the industry ecosystem for a substantial period as carriers morph into aggregators (as opposed to owners) of network connectivity, technology, infrastructure while increasing their primary emphasis on consumer/enterprisefacing roles as custodians of massive connectivity HetNets. Proliferation of network functionality virtualization (NFV) and software defined networks (NFV) along with forthcoming newly minted standards for 5G will further accelerate the shift.
