Telecoms groups invest in data networks to underpin consolidation

In this article about telecoms companies moving to updating their network technology to meet the demand for super-fast broadband, Arthur D. Little’s joint report with Bell Labs, “Reshaping the Future with NFV and SDN” is quoted. The report predicts that demand for super-fast broadband will drive telecoms revenues, but that telecoms companies need to invest in those networks. This is particularly important when moving from switch-based networks to IP networks. Modernizing networks could save European telecoms companies €14bn per year, as well as €25bn per year in cutting operating costs, according to the report. Jesus Portal, partner at ADL, is quoted confirming this – it will not be easy for the European telecoms industry to bring networking into the cloud era, but the rewards will be significant.
