New Report Examines the Current State of NGN Development in the Global Market

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c87770) has announced the
addition of "NGN Drivers and Inhibitors in the Global Market" to their
offering.

A few years ago, IMS was all the rage. Today, the term is hardly
ever mentioned. Has the migration to NGNs ceased, or has it simply
changed form? This research report examines the current state of NGN
development and explores the reasons why operators are making
relatively risk-free investment decisions. A detailed look at why
selected operators have chosen to build an NGN is presented, along
with changing attitudes regarding network architecture and
configurations. The report also reviews how the prevailing carrier
market conditions are impacting the global equipment suppliers.

Finally, there is a discussion of some interesting, and possibly
disruptive, trends that could have a profound impact on service
provider markets. A worldwide capital expenditure (CAPEX) forecast
covering 2008-2012 is presented, segmented by product category,
network layer, and geographic region. Unlike other reports that hype a
specific technology, or product segment, this report provides a
real-world understanding of the market forces driving, and often
delaying NGN migrations. It is a must-read for both equipment
suppliers and service providers.
