The dynamics being generated by this industry's competing forces will not reach an equilibrium until stable frameworks for Next Generation Networks are established.
Many forces are at work shaping the future of the communications infrastructure.
The dynamics being generated by these forces will not reach an equilibrium until stable frameworks for Next Generation Networks are established. Until recently, the telecommunications infrastructure had a stable existence providing primarily voice communication services. The telephone is a universal device that is used by everyone without a second thought. However, the networks that carry telephone calls are extremely complex, and have been developed over the course of a hundred years. The high infrastructure investments make it impossible to have co-existing providers.
