Since moving into a marketing and communications role at GENBAND, one of the things I miss most is the unofficial camaraderie shared with fellow analysts.

Operators have devoted massive investment and attention to transforming their networks to converged IP architectures but, before the entire dream of an all-IP environment can be achieved, they must address the risks associated with their legacy TDM networks.

Mobile World Congress has become the biggest event in telecom and with more than 60,000 attendees expected to descend upon Barcelona from February 27th thru March 1st, this year’s show promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Faced with a barrage of strategic trends that include cloud-based applications, IMS, LTE, Social Networking, and Over the Top (OTT) multimedia content delivery, many service providers are being forced to revisit their go-to-market-strategies and service offering differentiation. But to offer services anywhere, on any device, at any time, most networks must undergo IP network transformation.

This is very important at a time when end-users are increasingly looking to social networking and Over The Top (OTT) Content Providers for communications and entertainment services. Business users are also relying upon social networking and internet video content to provide an important means of marketing products and services to their customers.
