Network and Tower Operations Center (NTOC) – An Optimizer for Network Opex
November 19, 2009
The Operations of Telecom Networks and Data Centers Need a Paradigm Shift to Become Green, Reduce Global Warming and Optimize Total Cost of Operations (TCO) | councils.glgroup.com
Telecom network operations are most opex intensive. Some innovative steps taken to optimize these costs are to share network infrastructure between multiple operators and managed services of network operations. However, with the emergence of tower companies who create and maintain the passive infrastructure in which even active network elements reside, there is a possibility of achieving greater synergy for the NOC and field operations thereby further reducing the costs.

YouTube Explores Renting Movies Online | www.businessweek.com
You Tube might capture some of the movie distribution market if and only if they are able to work closely with the studios to develop a model that is beneficial to both the studios and consumer. Stiff competition awaits You Tube from multiple angles, not all movie industry related. The consumer, and their behavior, is a key component that must not be overlooked.

New Zune Undercuts Apple's iPod Prices | online.wsj.com
In my opinion, Zune has an uphill battle to try and capture the digital music market from Apple. Zune has significant challenges that will be very hard to over come. The primary challenge is a powerful thing called "brand" that drives every mass market trend and wallet.

MSOs are Better Positioned than Telcos to Launch Multi Play in India | news.glgroup.com
Telcos and MSOs in India watch out. Airtel has launched triple play in NCR region around Delhi. Airtel is reaping the fruits of clear thinking, hard work, capex commitment and managing all odds against the tough stance of most Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) for laying ADSL copper to homes in their colonies. It is a wake up call for all other telcos and MSOs in case they do not want to give free run to Airtel in fixed triple play market.

Multi Play - Band Width Bonanza for Telcos/MSOs on High Capacity High Speed Coaxial CATV Access Network to Homes and SMBs | news.glgroup.com
1. Telcos/CMSPs must watch out as good MSOs are poised better to take away their market share of broad band, voice and IP TV. 2. Telcos/CMSPs are way ahead in their back end, core and edge network infrastructure as also OSS/BSS/CRM/Contact Center but they lack last mile. They also have no experience of managing Local Cable Operators (LCOs) who have band width bonanza reaching homes through their last mile HFC network, very aggressively exploited by good MSOs for analog and digital TV.
