What They’re Saying About NXTcomm08 and the Industry
What do you see as the top challenges for our industry?
“At the most basic level, the telecom industry may be grossly underestimating capacity demands on a global basis. Adding to that challenge, most carrier networks worldwide were fundamentally designed for voice, and the cycle of investment to support exponential increases in data and video traffic is just beginning to get underway with the shift to Ethernet-based and IP-centric architectures.”
