Planning a network?

Heads up on two new reports. Vodafone may not have set the world alight with its last strategy outline, but it has more up its sleeve, according to Emma Mohr-McClune at Current Analysis. In fact, it has quietly assembled a portfolio of mobile VPN/intranet services for SMEs which its now rolling out. Why Voda has been keeping quiet is not clear; possibly because it has mixed feelings about segmentation offers - something we had heard separately.

Lars Godell at Forrester has produced the first of a series of reports on broadband/triple play service strategies. Telcos trying to pick their way through infrastructure investment options will find some useful guidance. In fact the numbers in the report help explain why telcos have been reluctant to go for full fibre access networks.
