Cites key Telco challenges such
as provisioning, realization of market share forecasts and effective
differentiation from Cable.
Innovative new offers, above and beyond video programming, will be vital
for success.
Reston, VA -- Detecon, Inc., a leading global telecommunications and
information technology consultant, today released its new whitepaper
entitled "The Telco TV Component of Triple Play: US Market Outlook."
Developing a full-service video offer is one of the most important
facets of the Triple Play battle now forming between local telephone
companies and cable operators. This unique new paper details both the
business and technical issues of this emerging technology, with a focus
on US markets. This includes a look at the market's structure, key
factors for ROI, competition, middleware, regulatory issues and more.
"The TV portion of Triple Play is mission-critical for US Telcos," said
Eckart Pech, CEO of Detecon, Inc. "Not only will Telcos need to roll out
a complete portfolio of video services, but they'll need to invest in
support processes such as provisioning and customer care to realize the
market share their shareholders expect."
Detecon's new paper details some of the key issues for Telcos seeking a
video offer, including a look at the progress made by a select few Telco
players.
"To better position themselves for tomorrow's marketplace, US Telcos
need to start investing today in their video offer and making sure they
differentiate their offer from cable companies with advanced services,"
said Susannah Spellman, Senior Consultant at Detecon, Inc. "Compared to
the $90 billion investment made by Cable operators to offer Triple Play
since the 1996 Telecom Act, RBOC investments pale in comparison."
Triple Play is the combination of voice, video and high-speed internet
access. Detecon feels this combination will be vital in winning and
retaining customers as competition heats up in the converging telecom
and entertainment markets.
"Detecon has seen the same market dynamics before in other parts of the
world," added Pech. "We can help US Telcos create and launch innovative
new services in order to protect themselves from new entrants."
