Abstract
“
Maximising triple-play revenue and softening the landing for legacy services
will not reverse revenue decline. Fixed operators will therefore have to
diversify, within the bounds of credible brand stretch, out of telecoms
service provision and into a less network-centric world of communications
retailing.” Rupert Wood, Principal Analyst
