The fixed telecoms industry is undergoing its most dramatic change in history as the market’s incumbents, new entrants and governments commit billions of dollars to replacing their ageing copper networks with optical fiber capable of supporting almost limitless broadband speeds. At the same time, this abundance of bandwidth is creating new opportunities for players both new and established. Media providers and creators are using it to deliver their content in a more efficient, cost-effective manner, while a host of providers are coming up with new over-the-top applications and services that are reinventing the way we live and work.

This new digital world will ultimately come together in consumers’ homes and the multitude of services and applications delivered to them will require, capacity aside, the unenviable task of interoperability and device management.
Operators, vendors and media players are only just beginning to grapple with the problems of extending consumer access to many devices throughout the home and, further still, on the move.
