 Global - Analysis - Industry - High-Level Strategic Thinking
In our competitive industry, it is crucial that a company's initial vision and direction be carefully formulated. The vision should be reasonably broad. Developments in the industry and in the market will inevitably necessitate some unanticipated changes, but providing any change of direction is less than 45 degrees, I would argue that the original vision will remain sound. This report concentrates on the conceptual issues related to strategic planning, as opposed to the more concrete elements. It is about doing the right things rather than doing the things right.

Global - Analysis - Industry - Structural Changes for Convergence
In order for the industry to position themselves for the opportunities in converging markets, serious structural changes need to be made to align the current businesses towards the challenges of media and IT convergence. Furthermore, there are the cannibalisation effects of VoIP and, on top that, the access models are changing, with triple-play emerging as the model forward. The industry will have to align itself along one of the three key structures: infrastructure, content and appliances.

Global - Analysis - Industry - Successful telco scenarios
Following deregulation, incumbent telcos have been using every device in their arsenal to retain their inefficient monopoly positions, causing significant delays to the development of broadband and the new products that it will allow, and probably hastening their demise. Following the crash of the early 00s and the continued development of wireless/mobile products, the telcos have less money to pursue their delaying tactics, and are starting to accept the need for improved broadband infrastructures and the future role of IP. Now is the time to make structural changes and position themselves strategically for the new opportunities that are emerging around convergence.

Global - Analysis - Industry - Telecoms moving into 2005
This report serves as a sequel to the articles I wrote about the telco crisis, the event that brought the boom of the late 1990s to an abrupt halt. In a rapidly commoditising market it is essential to embrace the nextgen trend towards intelligent networks, which is grid-shaped (like the Internet) and which includes shared resources and open network business models. New M&A are on the horizon as a new telco boom is approaching, driven by broadband. While progress has been relatively slow, the combination of DSL, VoIP, wireless broadband, better wholesale conditions and a more effective regulatory environment are going to produce significant changes in the period 2005-2008.

Global - Analysis - Market - Broadband in 2005
There is growing customer demand for broadband and, with few exceptions, the implementation of those technologies is lagging. With the exception of Korea and Japan, the hold-up lies primarily in the power that the incumbent telcos have over the regulators, and their lack of marketing imagination. The development of broadband will depend on content meeting customer demand and. despite their efforts, it is unlikely that telcos can serve this function. The media companies are more suited to this task, with the telcos providing the necessary infrastructure. In this report, Paul discusses the successes, problems and possible solutions relating to the development of broadband.
