The network is at the core of the telecom industry, it enables new and existing services alike and can be the place to generate revenues and save costs. Operators and service providers focus on the products and services the need to offer their customers, not on the technologies that enable them, and for the reason the Network Management Show is a fantastic platform to examine how the network is at the core of the telco business. These recent stories are all taken from Total Telecom and reflect just how important the wider network management issue has become.
