IEC Annual Review of Communications

According to the latest edition of the Annual Review of Communications, continued growth for service providers will rest on their ability to offer the valued-added services, via the next-generation network, that today's customers want.

"A triple-play service infrastructure opens the door to a whole new class of converged services.

Detailed technology assessments, case studies, and deployment reports; business strategy reviews; policy recommendations; market forecasts; revenue projections; and trend analyses are all part of the Annual Review.
