Telecommunication service providers
in Malaysia continue to face a challenging
environment characterized by technology
substitution, erosion of legacy services
revenue; slower than expected roll-out
of new substitute products, changing customer
needs and expectations; and the increasing
convergence of telecom and IT. The telecom
industry is in the throes of a major revolution
from a network or device focused marketplace
to a user-centric, service-delivery focus
that will allow users to create, control
and personalize a unified communications
experience across networks. These elements
pulled together is expected to shakeup
the telecommunications market with the
impact of new solutions and "dynamic
IT" spreading beyond the IT environment
to converge in Telecommunications market.
Ms. Melissa Chong will explore the issues
driving the industry towards this new
convergence and the likely results of
this revolution. |
