Report Summary

Incumbents are not immune to the changes around them. They must adapt or die as the markets they operate within will have changed significantly by 2012. The pace of change in the market is accelerating, driven both by external forces and internal telecoms market dynamics. In the past incumbents may have controlled some of these, but this will no longer be the case in 2012 (nor is it today).

Incumbent telcos are facing considerable challenges over the next few years. This report provides a view of the issues facing incumbent telcos on the road to 2012, and what they will find when they get there.
