Summary

Telecom and cable operators face pricing pressures from traditional competitors and risk losing consumer mindshare to new, innovative players.

To prepare for the change, strategists at telcos and cablecos must embrace customer-driven innovation, rebuild business models to incorporate multiple revenue sources, and retool sales and service channels to support digital experience products.
