ABSTRACT:
In this podcast, Current Analysis Principal Analyst Amy Larsen DeCarlo and SearchTelecom.com Site Editor Kate Gerwig and discuss the current pressures on telecom service providers to come up with higher margin value-added services to distinguish them from their competitors in an environment where "reductions" and recession are bandied about far more frequently than "growth" and "opportunity." The podcast emphasizes that there is still plenty of room for growth for service providers able to guarantee service quality via a secure and stable network infrastructure, as well as the importance of customer service support to maintaining and growing services, particularly as more carriers move down market to tap into SMB demand.
