In the coming decade, open source software will significantly impact how telecom carriers create, deploy, manage, and bill for new services. The revenue models for open source software-based commercial offerings are becoming increasingly mainstream, and telecom carriers’ specific requirements for network service components that are highly-available, reliable, scaleable, and extensible are being met through new innovations in open source software architectures.

In this study, Insight looks at how open source packages fit into carrier-class operations. We examine the various types of telecom organizations that are trialing open source and the impacts that this software will have on “traditional” telecom software vendors (ISVs), including those that provide components for IP networks (softswitches, application servers, and gateways). We forecast telecom open source software driven revenue related to the creation of new services, and carrier investment in open source platforms including commercial right-to-use licenses, consulting, and support across all service markets.

Report Excerpt

1.1 Open Source Software and Telecommunications

Open source software projects have traversed a fascinating path in the last three decades. What started with purely idealistic leanings has gradually evolved and embraced practicable business models that—Insight’s research suggests—are already having a profound impact on the telecommunications industry. These impacts are not being trumpeted loudly in the trade press, nor are they being discussed openly by the carriers or other industry players, for a variety of reasons that this study will document, but they are none-the-less real.

This research report focuses on open source software developed by and for the telecom industry. Opensource.org, regarded as the conscience keeper of the open source software movement, has set out the following principles which embrace and define........
