According to "Network World" reports:
AT & T:
Giant carriers
AT & T's size has been growing, but always well managed
.It has won praise from financial analysts, stock prices have been rising (10% increase in shareholder return and buy back 100 billion in stock.)
In the last 9 months, AT & T's wireless business revenue over 43 billion U.S. dollars.In the meantime, AT & T acquired from BellSouth, Cingular Wireless business revenues and more than 270 billion dollars.Fourth quarter of 2006, AT & T's expected revenue of 16 billion U.S. dollars, Cingular's revenue of 100 billion, while AT & T is expected to reach annual turnover of 960 billion dollars.Although voice revenue (54.5%) AT & T is still the main items in the balance sheet, but its data services revenue (28.5%) have been in constant growth.
We can look at AT & T operating performance reflects the following numbers: its global backbone network consists of more than 535,000 kilometers of fiber optic components, each working to deal with 7.6PB data traffic; in the global managed Internet data center with 30, 5 global network operations centers and 10 customer support centers worldwide; in 150 countries around the deployment of 100,000 AP, and 190 operators to maintain strategic cooperative relations.
Despite a number of mergers and acquisitions, but AT & T has not lost its corporate customer base.In 2006, AT & T will expand its security business to over 10, and released a 24 business-oriented business.In carriers, AT & T is now operational projects with enterprise-class one of the largest operators, application management to security management from everything.It is particularly worth mentioning is that in 2006 it will its Opt-E-MAN virtual private LAN service extended to 23 U.S. cities, and through the Cisco QoS certification.
In 2006, AT & T acquired application service provider USi.In 2007, AT & T will focus on its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sterling Commerce and USi Enterprise Services Architecture into the market efforts.
Although the future looks promising, but its great success in the process there is a key issue - that the acquisition of BellSouth.In the time of this writing, AT & T is still waiting for FCC approval, but even gained regulatory approval, the two carriers integrate business AT & T also will be the biggest challenge in the New Year.
In any case, AT & T will be better to allocate all the management, resources, services and strategies, and other areas, so that a fruitful 2007, to be more successful year.
CISCO:
Dominate the industry
Strong companies like Cisco in full compliance with this analogy.You can call it the irresistible force in the market, the flagship battleship, it seems that no one can match it.Or, as the network exists between the industry and the Cisco love / hate relationship, you can compare it to the New York Yankees (Unfortunately, the industry seems to have been in the network can be compared with the Boston Red Sox companies).
No matter whether some of these metaphors cynical, but they are accompanied by respect and admiration.In fact, the entire network will be jealous of Cisco's industry position, because it in two basic financial indicators with the best competitive advantage: revenue growth, Si Keda 18%, while the industry average is only 14%; operating profit,Cisco is 27%, while the industry average of only 10%.
In the past few years, Cisco's revenue almost 13% every year a healthy rate of growth has been achieved fiscal 2006 revenues of 28.5 billion level.Financial analysts are expected to Cisco's higher revenue in 2007, overall revenue is expected to increase 14.7%, 32.7 billion to achieve full-year target.The most interesting is that those involved in its growth was slow, but it is stable new source of income.
Although 85% of Cisco's revenue will continue to come from products, only 15% came from services, but its routing and switching products from the income is decreased, while products from a number of emerging technologies - such as home networking, SAN,IP phones, WLAN and security of income is increasing.These emerging technology products for the contributions of Cisco for fiscal 2005 by 16%, the contribution of fiscal 2006, up to 20%, is expected to contribute to the 2007 fiscal year will reach 23%.Cisco's emerging technology strategy is to make the company's revenue stream has shown a good growth diversified enough to avoid the possible impact of the market bubble.
Xiang emerging technologies in the transfer, Cisco must adapt to business services with a comprehensive strategy.For example, it currently has a life cycle services to help companies prepare and optimize their networks; technical services can protect the network and update the effective operation; there is a remote operation services.In addition, it has 35 products applicable to a number of esoteric market sectors, including finance, health care and manufacturing services.
Although the Cisco R & D funding per year up to 30 billion U.S. dollars, but the industry seems more concerned about its takeover.Since the establishment of Cisco has acquired more than 100 companies, acquired in 2006 alone 12.
But because of all this criticism against Cisco has never ceased.Customers complain about high prices and product reliability, partners complain that too much external competition, value-added resellers complain, low profits, competitors complained that their predatory marketing and sales practices.But really, there is mostly the composition of jealousy.
EMC:
Construction of storage Kingdom
To be honest, EMC should not be there.Began its life sales through the phone memory card, and then when IBM, StorageTek and HP storage products miss when R & D opportunities, leaped into the disk storage technology leader in the market, which later through the acquisition and integration of a number of strong finesub-market enterprises, in order to build its unique technical advantages.
EMC in the storage industry's ability to lead to other new areas of IT do?Now its old rival from their deep sleep state in the wake of technology, new competitors are rapidly entering its core market.
So look at how EMC customers are from?The CIO of a financial integrator had this to say: "Our suppliers are about more than 100. Every time a problem that I have to send my customers where IT staff to solve the problem. I just want fewer vendorsI would like to get more from them! "
After all he was so mean?First, as integrators that he had tired of all the different components of integrated live, he wants suppliers are able to seamlessly integrate all of these components manufacturers.Second, he said, between those components of the solution vendors do not see who is much better than who.And third, he was issued a challenge to EMC, in the end you can become a truly complete solution with strategic vendors, or tactical, but that is a vendor?
And EMC's strategy and the challenges it was in here.The early days of the technology created EMC, but also make it a first-class engineering design experts.Today, it is the maturing of the two areas - financial engineering design and technical integration.Since 2003 it has acquired a number of companies, many people say it is not so much in the acquired businesses, as it is to buy a good technology.These technologies not only brought to its customer base, but also brings a trained its sales force and service system, to its own to build these, about 10 years takes time.
This is no doubt that the following: if EMC would like to make a transition in a strategic vendor standing above the crowd, then the acquisition is not just the best thing available, but should be something must have.For most IT business owners, the store is very annoying.But if you are a financial company's CFO, know that you have a good save every email, or may violate compliance requirements, then storage is no longer the annoying.If the data is backed up to allow you to quickly recover when corporate management, storage is no longer annoying.
So, what will happen next act?EMC's position is not secure, because it obviously can not with IBM and HP's first-class match consultants to help clients find the best solution.Therefore, in order to expand wise, it must find their own blue ocean.The first new area is to storage as an integral part of those areas.Example, to enter through the acquisition of Documentum content management, through the acquisition of Legato enterprise storage management system into the field and so on.Now, because of the acquisition of RSA Security Inc., EMC has entered the field of security and recovery management.
EMC now has more than half the business comes from outside storage areas, and it therefore has renamed itself as the information infrastructure vendors.
But it is still able to see their own challenges: enterprise network has a complex database, to provide assistance at all times, the need for root cause analysis of faults; corporate office staff need to lower the cost per transaction and increase the availability; enterprise customers needcorrect for the new Internet applications to transfer data.
Overall, EMC still has the opportunity to vendors such as IBM and HP compete, as long as it can be allowed to store customer satisfaction (which actually takes an enormous amount of R & D investment long), as long as it can acquire the right to use the right pricecompany, as long as it will acquire the products to seamlessly into its product line.
HP:
Still influence the scandal-ridden
Before last September, HP's public image looks very good.The CEO under the leadership of Mark Hurd, HP's business began to recover, even in performance over the IBM.HP's marketing and sales are carried out in full swing, the company seems to have entered all the track, but the future is rosy in this suddenly hit a wall.
Released into the atmosphere with the smell of an undercurrent of course upset the way forward, because the director level who place people feel stupid and sad and bad stories, beliefs openly abandoned the expense of the enterprise.The contents of the discovery leaked after the Board meeting, Board Chairman Patricia Dunn conniving board members of non-normal leak investigation.This survey was no less than political persecution, because it involves the illegal information gathering, surveillance and covert investigations.Hearing the case of the Chief Justice of California, described this incident in the terminology used is "incredibly stupid to the point."
A result of this chaos, a director resigns, Dunn became the general director to step down, Hart was promoted to Chairman of the Board.However, despite the scandal of such and such happened, but the surprise is that so many people, HP's stock has emerged in the last year continued to rise, the scandal of the board did not affect the share price seems to rise.
Indeed, Hurd developed marketing strategy at work.According to StreetInsider.com contributors Yaser Anwar's statement, "In the past two years, HP has increased nearly 80% of the profits come from its corporate services and storage and personal systems group, the two departments, as re-integration of the productline, reducing costs and developing a new pricing strategy, so to achieve the maximization of profit maximization rather than revenue. "
HP developed a concern about profitability strategy, its products and blade server market also shows the technical and marketing advantage.Although the leading edge may be losing the next two years, but HP will still maintain its market position.If you do not to a greater market volatility, HP will be able to maintain its growth momentum, at least to keep the current market share.
HP biggest threat comes from Dell's direct sales.In response to this threat, HP began to take a more proactive strategy, is changing its relationship with the sales network.According to reports, HP in Europe, is planning to bypass the agents, try a can 120 with the Netherlands's largest direct marketing model customer.This bold, potentially high-profit marketing agency in the middle of the United States may encounter opposition because the agents who think that HP will eventually make them out.
HP in the network management business has also taken a positive development strategy.HP's recent acquisition of Mercury let it have a new customer base.Mercury's application development and management products complement very well the OpenView network management software, HP.
Microsoft recently signed a three-year, worth 300 million U.S. dollars in the enterprise contract, HP demonstrated its smart.Up to 91.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2006 sales have been to HP than IBM, but the contract with Microsoft that it will greatly stimulate sales in the enterprise market.
IBM:
Top of services
IBM described a high-tech industry in the enduring success story.Each generation of IBM people will find themselves in the forefront of the next generation of industry revolution.50 years ago, IBM will build itself into a leader in mainframe computing.25 years ago, it became a pioneer in personal computing era.The last 10 years, it has become the world's largest IT professional services providers.In a network environment, professional service is an open standards, open source software, SaaS and SOA architecture important point of integration between.
IBM set the strategic goal of this latest effort should be attributed to its former CEO Lou Gerstner.It was his 90 in the last century created the IBM Global Services, IBM originally belonged to the various vertical industry consulting, systems integration services and managed services solutions into together.Since 2002 (after the departure of the Gerstner), IBM Global Services in the company's share of total income increased from 40% to 54%.
Robust growth of IBM's professional services business has its hardware and software market provides an exit strategy on flimsy grounds, because early success has been allowed access to the hardware and software business is increasingly becoming the commercialization of low-margin business.IBM kept its SOA application infrastructure, middleware, data management and tools business, made an impressive profit.When it will start in the enterprise open source products in all segments of the market to compete with their rivals, this is only a matter of time.
IBM's most difficult challenge is to decide when to give up many of its own enterprise software products, because these products are faced with the ongoing open source software from the price pressure.IBM themselves eager to participate in a lot of open source software projects, because it is fully aware, open-source project will eventually lose out to its cash flow to find a new pasture.
IBM's expert service is likely to be a trump card in the open source era.Not long ago, Oracle is very attractive to announce that Red Hat will be less than half the price of services to provide customers with Red Hat Linux license, brand, distribution and technical support, which is essentially equivalent to the oxygen cut off Red Hatsupply.If IBM has chosen to adopt this tough style of Oracle, then it is a large-scale service team of experts will become a global third party open source environments for the maintenance support, integration services, the most powerful supplier.
Of course, IBM's Global Services also face the challenge of many opponents.In the enterprise software market, such as Oracle, Microsoft and SAP, and other powerful competitors were established through strategic mergers and acquisitions expert services of their respective teams.While in some other expert services can compete with companies, like Accenture, BearingPoint, and Deloitte, also has become a formidable field of IT services to the opponent.Any open source software distributors, they all must be defensive, to avoid their service revenue stream dried up.
In this new pattern of network industries, IBM will eventually because of its huge scale, global distribution, many experts in the field and the long-established customer relationships and gain advantage.Year after year, network computing, it is always the best one of many blue chips.
INTEL:
Paranoid planet
Here and Intel CEO Paul Otellini you between a virtual dialogue.
You: Good morning, Paul.May I ask what you want to talk today paranoid, AMD?Qualcomm?Texas Instruments?Chinese companies?Low-cost challenger or market saturation?
Otellini (hereinafter referred to as Europe): can be discussed.
You: This is the right answer!Because they are mutually linked!From the IBM PC in 1981 came to 2001, these 20 years, you see, every time you upgrade the processor will let you have a best friend Bill Gates, eating the food.Time is "to what Andy, Bill on what means" can be by 2001, the situation began to change.Keep out of old products that you have such a strategic and consumer desire for a new computer no longer works as a.
EU: You told me something I do not know.But do not worry, I did not have other tricks up their sleeves to make it.
You: let us first talk about your AMD moves against it.You used to keep their technology licensed to AMD, but also to the judiciary that this competition is there.But now AMD does not seem to appreciate.It has become a real, strong threat.Not only that, it and the "one laptop per child" project group of people band together to provide $ 100 to the third world a laptop, so that you actually gave it a destructiveweapons.
EU: Yes.So I was told the Chinese people, I would like to sell them $ 300 a laptop.I told Nigerians, I will provide them with $ 12,000,000 of the funds for teacher training - but you can not ask too many questions in this regard.Can inhibit the sales of all things AMD will spend a lot of money.
You: On China, I know one of your main idea is to enter the flash market.20 years ago, you pulled out of SRAM and DRAM markets, because they have become low-margin general merchandise, and has a lot of cheap Japanese goods flooded the market.Do not you worry about the year 2010, Chinese goods and the 1980 Japanese goods will be the same again to you out of the market?
Europe: This is my worry list ranked No. 4.But I am turning their attention to the third world.I'm an Internet cafe in China's computer industry, dedicated custom in China and India also investing heavily in research and development efforts.
You: let's talk about your hottest market, that is, the mobile market.It accounted for 25% of your total sales, the annual increase of up to 65%, and you grow in the enterprise market is very commonplace.Obviously you like the PC does not intend to occupy the server market as the market, so you need a new growth engine.You are like a processor, chipset and wireless networks combined to solve this problem.But here, less than one-fifth the size of your high-pass has been secretly seize the commanding heights of the market, building a people of the world envy endless licensing model.
EU: I know, if drug dealers are also to study the case of Qualcomm, will see between the two disgusting how the profits and products alike.If we can do on the PC, then we will not hand over Microsoft, the high ground.
You: Speaking of Microsoft, I noticed some of your lip service to the open source software, but it is a huge thunder, rain is quite small.
Europe: ah, you noticed?Privately say, open source is a demon, like a conspiracy.Oh, well, talk about this again.We believe that open source.
You: I believe your statement.You also intend to enter the family?
Europe: We like family.We can see that Intel is in the management of each family, the management of all devices at home, allowing consumers to download, manage and share digital content.
You: can Hollywood, music industry, broadcasting and Internet industries are united against you, they see you as a troublemaker who is a member of the devil empire.
EU: Well then, that is exactly what we want.We need a new opponent.
You: This is really paranoid at ah!
Europe: Haha, I have been doing so.
MICROSOFT:
The older the more restless
Watch Microsoft, just like watching a complicated plot, never ending soap opera: Over the past 12 months, we see Bill Gates dropped out of a single-minded to start a charity; we see a series ofM; see the release date of Windows Vista delayed again and again; see the Apple iPod challenger, Zune come out; to see Microsoft and Novell alliance by surprise; to see Microsoft actually open to the public recognition of the growing threat from Google, the.
Although Microsoft's new frontier is easy to understand products, but Microsoft's other ideas, such as Novell alliance, and not so easy to understand.The alliance almost surprised for all, "Network World" columnist Dave Kearns is a description of it: "so unexpected, like saying someone in the snowball fights in Hades as incredible."
Particularly surprising that the terms of the agreement.Both companies claim that both parties have an obligation to each other's users to protect one's own intellectual property products.Novell paid Microsoft $ 40,000,000 to protect the SUSE Linux users will not encounter possible patent infringement disputes, and Microsoft paid Novell 4.4 billion U.S. dollars, be sent to the user equal to the value of SUSE Linux, one-year maintenance costs (strictlyspeaking, there are doubts whether Microsoft will do.)
Many observers feel that this cooperation is not a good thing in terms of Novell, some open source people (such as Bruce Perens) even think that Novell is only the second SCO only.
Although Novell's behavior was not as the SCO, but you can say for sure that there are certain acts which are similar, but also produced a similar unpleasant results.For example, this co-operation so that Novell is clearly a violation of the GPL GNU license, it will also result in costly open source world, disturbing legal trouble.We also have to speculate that the new ally of Novell's sleeve in the end what the drug was sold.
If we had a few years and then, looking back, it will see very clearly that Microsoft has used a cup of coffee at most of its money to put one of its oldest rivals strangling it, and also dragged down its mortal enemy, which is the open source movement.Hopefully the open source movement, in the worst case, but it slowed the pace of development.
Microsoft under threat from Google, what is it?Gates in a recent speech, has said: "This competition is for the two companies are very happy."Gates said under great pressure these words seem insincere.Microsoft, Google in response to the threat is very serious and serious.
In the enterprise search market, Microsoft once again late.Although it may continue to increase market share, the other major vendors, such as such as Google, IBM, Autonomy, Fast, and Endeca such influence, but it can not become the first.While Microsoft will become an important role, but will continue to be losers.
The release of Vista and Office 2007, Microsoft's next major action would be to expand and enhance its desktop software and Internet-based services, software products, Fusion of Windows Live - Gates to promote it to the next generation level.
But what it means for enterprise customers, is still not clear, because a bunch of Windows Live is still in the testing phase of the mail services, domain hosting, simple games, the host application and a strange mixture.From this, Gates hinted Live Live's reliance on the future target market may be greater.Windows Live is definitely this year we need to focus on products.
Also, Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard has signed up to three years, with a total contract value of $ 300,000,000 in the enterprise market may make a larger impact.Microsoft will use this relationship to shape their own companies as the status of enterprise applications, which in turn further enhance the operating system sales.
All in all, Microsoft is in the computer and the network's influence and importance of the market can not be underestimated.Microsoft in the coming years the challenge will be in the field of search and Web services implementation of expansion, already exist in these areas are some very strong competitors, such as Google, and a large number of SaaS vendors.
Calculated for the whole world, Microsoft is trying to make 2007 a fun year.And for those of us columnist for the year will be very easy, because there will certainly be a lot of things about Microsoft can be written.
ORACLE:
Shape the leadership style
Oracle once again topped the network industry's most influential companies list is not surprising.Surprising - and very surprising is definitely the reason it topped the list is because a lot of different reasons, and many are among the best choice category.A reference to Oracle, it is natural to think of a database management system.In 2005, PeopleSoft and Siebel acquisitions pushing it "personal management" of the frontier.But it attracts us or in the identity management market rise dramatically.
While Oracle has been more than a decade to provide directory services, but CEO Larry Ellison at the end of 2001 but did not want to talk about identity management, because then he is for the U.S. national identity management system to provide the necessary tools.Privacy advocates and other experts immediately began to attack his ideas, but Ellison still calm of the identity management market prospects.In 2004, Oracle acquired Phaos technology and to receive a free association of the company's board of directors in the seat (the seat seems to feel more important.)Ellison declared: "With the seats in the Liberty Alliance, Oracle plans for its security and identity management professional to further help the success and development alliance."
Sounds strange, is not it?Oracle wants to use it in the identity management on the (very limited) and in the security professional (non-existent) professional, a member of the Liberty Alliance Federal demonstrate how to do identity management system!Many people feel, Ellison's second name should be called "reckless."They may also, but this does not mean that Ellison would be wrong.
Oracle's acquisition of identity management company did not stop at the Phaos.In 2005, Oracle has acquired Oblix, OctetString and Thor technology, these companies are in the identity management market, an important role in various fields.Of course, buy these companies and to integrate their products into their products in an entirely different issue.
However, Ellison is a recognized genius.More importantly, he has so talented and his work with the know-how, why, those from the acquired company's best and most talented people will work in partnership with him.He did so well that after one year, Gartner in its report on identity and access management (IAM) market quarterly report, select Oracle as one of the three market leaders.The report said: "Oracle through the acquisition of Phaos (2004 年 5 月), Oblix (2005 年 3 月), Thor Technologies (December 2005) and OctetString (2005 年 12 months), which also bought the IAM market."
Who are the two leaders?Is the IBM / Tivoli, and Sun.The Oracle Identity Management market, climbed to the top position of the speed is much faster than the two companies.In the past it has been, and IBM in the database field competition, IBM and Sun's hardware division also are partners in Oracle, which three companies are well-planned IAM road map, will be in the next few years, the boss of each other for position IAM.Quite mean that the IAM can provide full range of products in addition to the three no other challenger, but also did not dare stop to these three below the shadow of the leader.In the three, only one had a dim sense with the leaders of style.As Red Hat recently discovered, to make Larry Ellison is very difficult to stop.
SYMANTEC:
Super Information Manager
If the enterprise IT management is not clear or a Symantec enterprise solutions provider, it is excusable.We talked about this company when it was generally agreed that production of consumer anti-malware and Windows backup system - very few people will notice it in the enterprise-class technical insight.And at first glance, desktop anti-malware software, storage and backup each other what little relationship between how they are integrated in the value of a business in it?
This is all in the arrangement.Symantec calm and effective under the criteria of the emerging information housekeeper beyond strategy to create many of the key components grouped together.Many companies say that the implementation of effective information stewardship strategy is critical for enterprises.
Information Manager is to manage the enterprise data standards, the enterprise faced with regulatory compliance, security, privacy, accuracy and availability continuing demand made.It consists of five sub-set of key criteria, each of which handle a subset of one aspect of effective information management:
● Information Protection (to ensure proper data private and safe)
● Data - Quality Management (to ensure data accuracy and integrity)
● information lifecycle management (based on the information at hand and the ever-changing business value of information to comply with dominant strategy, the storage infrastructure is mapped to data type)
● Business continuity (in the event of a failure to ensure that the correct data available)
● compliance (validation data management, archiving, records, compliance with appropriate government regulations)
The key to the development of information technology butler architecture, including storage, backup and recovery, especially in continuous data protection (CDP) in the new area, which consists of data - quality management tools, security and information protection technology composition.Turning to the latter, message security, threat management and anti-malware protection is particularly important.In all these areas you are less likely to get the best from a vendor solution.
How to look at this picture it?Information protection from Symantec (anti-malware and threat management) the historical development of the field of view, it has expanded to all of the information in the areas of stewardship, through the acquisition into the business continuity and information lifecycle management (acquired in 2005Veritas), and regulatory compliance and information security (January 2006 acquisition of IM Logic).
And this trend continues: Symantec has recently acquired one of the first CDP's Revivio, but also with the EMC (acquired in May last year, CDP vendors Kashya), CA (CDP company acquired last June Xosoft)and NetApp (CDP Enterprise last November acquired Topio) launched a co-operation.
Overall, Symantec's strategy is very clear: the grass-roots level through the orderly growth and mergers and acquisitions integration, integration of these components to allow themselves to be the emerging leader in the field of information stewardship.
VERIZON:
Future proof
While Verizon did not easily prove their fiber (fiber to the home and fiber-to-business) a lot of investment is reasonable, but the problem only for those who spend their time pondering the short term profit and stock price volatility is a problem for people.Relatively speaking, this is only the operator's capital expenditure strategy for it.
But for those of us IT people, industry, Verizon is the U.S. carriers investing in the future leader in the network.Take a look at Verizon's FiOS FTTH solution, into the IPTV market to consumers, and actively develop EV-DO wireless broadband technology and business strategies to enhance advanced services, you will understand, Verizon walked everywhere in the technologyforefront of the development.
Simply put, Verizon has to become the next best meet the needs of the user operator.Can meet as Fortune 50 companies, multinational corporations on the wireless and DSL / FiOS needs, but also to meet like only one person home business like small business needs.Despite the pressure from Wall Street, it will stick to their convictions, to continue rapid development of their future network.
In these core infrastructure initiatives, the most important applications and services, Verizon has become a leader.Verizon in the previous year to our list the most influential business, its reason for entering the selected service areas that can be managed, such as the outsourcing of security and storage services.In this year, Verizon's acquisition of MCI by not only the expansion of these services, but also increased as the high-end telecom services and wireless device management and other new services and applications in the VoIP market and integration of leading.
Of course, not everything is perfect.As with any big acquisitions, like, MCI is indeed hard to swallow - we heard some of the key figures MCI had left, MCI customers to switch some of his office.The integration of MCI progress billing system is not very smooth.But Verizon is actually quite lucky, because its large business customers have no other better choice: Sprint Nextel Verizon does not have all of the cable service; AT & T and Verizon for the service even though comparable, but it is also busy digesting theircase of large mergers and acquisitions.Lack of competition can be said to have helped Verizon's favor.
IT industry from the perspective of the user more choice is missing may not be a good thing.Verizon open in response to customer demand is not the best operators, which we can see very clearly in the wireless field, such as many features are not available, the terms are too stringent and less attractive to customers and so on.
But these are micro-flaws.We see that Verizon is beginning gradually to improve the services of various strict limits, can allow customers greater flexibility in the use of various types of equipment.
So, who would challenge this year, Verizon's strong market position?AT & T of course is on the rise, it will expand in many areas and Verizon head to head, this confrontation both in size and outlook on the city is unprecedented.In addition, Verizon and many new competitors, such as cable operators and multi-service systems such as Sprint, they will provide consumers with wireless services this year, and may provide an amazing business package services.
