Future Broadband Business ModelsResearch Report: Beyond Bundling: Growth Strategies for Fixed and Mobile Broadband – "Winning the $250Bn delivery game"This report examines future retail and wholesale business models for fixed and mobile operators offering high speed packet data services. This includes - but is not limited to - providing Internet access. It is our attempt to chart the next 10 years for fixed and mobile telecoms network operators as the viability of the current broadband business model is threatened by intense competition and falling prices in maturing markets, changing usage patterns, and the adaptation of new technologies. The report identifies and profiles a new $250Bn market opportunity.
This study is supported by BT, GSM Association, the Broadband Stakeholder Group, the TeleManagement Forum, and Telecom TV.

Click here to purchase the report Business Context – The Changing Face of Broadband DistributionThe chart below shows how the telecoms industry today offers two dominant types of distribution systems for content and services.
1. Vertically integrated networks, like the Public Switched Telephony Network, its mobile equivalent, Next Generation Network replacements for these, and SMS messaging ("PSTN & SMSC"). Here, a dedicated network integrates connectivity, service and payment. 2. Internet access, where connectivity, services and payment are all separate ("Broadband Internet"). 3. In the future there will be a wide range of new business and payment models which assemble devices, applications, content and connectivity in new technical and economic ways ("Other"). Wholesale markets will evolve greatly to support this. This original hypothesis, affirmed by our proprietary market research, is explored in depth in this report. This study looks at the impact of this significant change on the business models of those in the broadband value chain.
