What They’re Saying About NXTcomm08 and the Industry
What do you see as the top challenges for our industry?
"The top challenge today for the industry is the dropping revenue for voice, and customers' becoming accustomed to free services. Furthermore, customers are going to demand better control of their quality of service and applications. Amazingly enough, just providing packages and pricing that customers can easily understand remains a problem many operators haven't resolved."
