The field of telecommunications is becoming ever more complex. In
order to manage the new Telecom industry it is necessary not only
to understand its 3 main components, namely the end users, the
technology and networks, and the business aspects, but also their
vital inter-relationships.
Complexity leads to uncertainty, and one effect of uncertainty is
for people to underestimate the complexity of the business and the
technology. This book takes a holistic approach to the subject and
can be used as a tool for decreasing this uncertainty.
During 2000 many operators paid extremely high sums of money for
3G licenses in a number of European countries, supposing a
potential corresponding and balancing revenue from mobile services
in the new frequency band. Obviously today the licenses are
questionable. Consequently, suppliers and operators were forced to
reduce their international work force.
What are the underlying reasons? Since the true rate and level of
development was hardly foreseen by anyone, the picture is complex,
including factors such as psychology and belief in a new economy.
It is immediately clear that the end user impact has been severely
under-estimated. It is also clear that the expected development has
and is happening, with more speed than expected, and continues to
be complemented with solutions such as wireless LANs.
This book treats the paradigm shift from a number of angles: user
needs and demands, deregulation of telecom and the convergence
between telecommunications, data communications and the media
industry, the service plan, service implementation, QoS, and
Security.
"Understanding Changing Telecommunications" focuses on the
overall principles and context of the new telecommunications world
rather than on high-level technical descriptions in order to aid
the understanding and development of the next generation of telecom
networks. e.g. multimedia over IP and 3G.Discusses the development
of telecommunications up until 2005Provides a holistic view of the
world of telecommunicationsCovers three main areas: End-users,
Technologies and Networks, and Telecom Business, and their vital
inter-relationshipsOffers support and advice for those needing to
implement business plans
Essential reading for staff with operators and providers
involved in the telecom networks, especially management, planning
and design, development, integration and training, as well as
Business analysts and investors keen to understand the current
state of the Telecom industry.
