Global Telecommunications

The global communications industry is undergoing a massive transformation as service providers battle with falling subscriber revenues and re-focus on growth opportunities in emerging markets, technologies, and services.

In this new world of communications, success will go to those who identify, acquire and retain the most valuable customer segments; understand how emerging technologies and applications can be used to enable new revenue resources, and are aware of key issues involved in revenue generation.  This new world order requires insight, analysis and authoritative direction on where to invest, which technologies to bank on, and which vendors to partner with.

Light Reading Communications Network advises leaders who build, deploy, finance, and regulate next-generation telecom networks on the most critical emerging market and service opportunities, enabling them to make informed business decisions.
