Mobility & Home Entertainment Systems: MP3 Player as the Set-top Box 2008-2013
a market research report
|
|
The success of any triple-play service offered by a teleco or a cable television operator assumes that the integrated solution offers conveniences and economies for the customers. Our thesis is that final success in the last mile may well be determined by the nature of the interface that each carrier can provide to their end customer. Telcos and CATV providers are pouring billions of dollars into their network upgrades, with the lion’s share of new investments going into the network’s edge. Witness the Verizon and SBC investments pushing fiber into the last mile. For cable operators, investments have revolved around new set top boxes, cable modems, and residential gateways.
This report examines the various options for a user interface between the network edge and the end user. That interface could be as simple as a cell phone or as complex as a portable interactive gaming machine; it could be tethered to a broadband connection or use wireless technology. Either way, efforts over the past year have demonstrated that the entire entertainment delivery value chain is about to drastically change. To understand how new interface options will impact your network operations, read this report.
