Executive Summary
Are telco attempts to break into content services misguided? No, telcos can use these content services to shore up consumer relationships, drive demand, maintain the value of communication services, and diversify revenue sources, but only if they deliver a user-generated content (UGC) service along with top-down broadcast-like services such as IPTV. UGC plays to telcos' strengths in network management, security, and hosting and will generate modest revenues in addition to greatly strengthening the consumer broadband proposition.
