"This creates an almost immediate need for $5 billion worth of equipment -- amplifiers, transceivers, receivers, transponders, multiplexers, and transmitters." In the coming months, telephone companies, cable companies, utilities, and municipal governments need to expand and upgrade their fiber-optic networks to meet competitive threats and to offer new revenue-generating services such as multimedia, two-way interactive, high-speed, and video services. "Not all suppliers will be successful in their bids to meet customers' requirements," continued Duffy. "The market is developing quickly and success turns on both timing and direction. Competitors must see the larger picture to know when and how to act." The study's highlights include: 1. A global forecast for each major equipment product category and generic application in the North American North American named after North America.

Profiles of key equipment suppliers, a review of their product lines and manufacturing alliances, and an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of their marketing and distribution strategies. 3. Customer profiles that help elucidate the strategic ramifications ramifications npl → Auswirkungen pl of each operator's choice of standards. The study will help telecommunications equipment manufacturers and suppliers to better understand the changing directions/needs of customers, to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses in competitors' product lines as well as their own, and to size and seize the new market opportunities.
