Abstract
This IDC study presents profiles of leading Asian carriers next-generation network (NGN)
strategies and NGN service strategies. Each profile considers the challenges and opportunities
facing the carrier relative to the market in which it operates, before examining the carriers
network infrastructure and how it will evolve to meet the carriers NGN service provision plans.
"In the heterogeneous telecom markets of Asia/Pacific, the concept of next generation to a
carrier in one country is thought to be very differently from that of a carrier operating in another
country. Equipment vendors should speak the local NGN dialect; those that are able to relate to
the domestic NGN state of affairs and the carriers priorities will have a clear advantage,"
says Melissa Chong, senior analyst, telecommunications research, IDC Malaysia. |
