Comptel Velocity - May 2007

Fighting Forbearance and the FCC's Failure to Act
COMPTEL fervently is challenging the FCC on the forbearance it granted Verizon Communications Inc. last year as well as the "me-too" forbearance petitions filed by AT&T Inc. and Qwest Communications International Inc. Meanwhile, Verizon is promoting to carriers its "New Option" agreement for special access rates.

Capitalizing on the Wireless Bandwidth Explosion
Wireless broadband services finally are beginning to ramp up in adoption and the emerging market landscape is filled with opportunities for wireless competitors and companies that can support them with alternative backhaul and transport services. However, the way the wireless regulatory structure has been built presents a set of significant market challenges, of which everyone in the wireless data ecosystem should be aware.

Managed Services Made Easier
It's no secret that service providers are looking for new revenue streams and ways to increase customer loyalty. Managed services are seen as one way of driving carrier margins and customer stickiness. Because the service provider both owns and operates the customer premises-based gear in this scenario, it can charge more for the service and better lock customers into a lasting commitment with that service.
