May 26, 2005

The hype surrounding triple-play, or the combination of Internet access, video, and voice into comprehensive residential service packages, continues to make waves. The adoption and scaling of triple-play services presents a new set of opportunities and challenges for both equipment providers and service providers. Are both parties up to the challenge?

In this telebriefing Brian Washburn, Principal Analyst Network Services, and Ron Westfall, Principal Analyst Broadband Infrastructure, help carriers and equipment makers separate the facts from the fiction and answer the most pressing questions about triple-play opportunities, including:

  • What are the fundamental elements of a triple-play solution and service? 
  • What challenges confront equipment providers and service providers?
  • How can triple-play challenges be addressed and resolved?

Washburn and Westfall discuss the advantages of this new and evolving technology, what it means for equipment providers and service providers, and what pieces of the puzzle still need to be solved.
