Webinar: Evolving Service Provider Business Models

Yankee Group VP and Senior Research Fellow Camille Mendler explores the transforming landscape for communications service providers.

The irrational exuberance of the Enron era led many communications service providers (CSPs) to financial ruin, and paying penance for past excesses consumed the first decade of the 21st century. But Yankee Group argues that it’s time to shed the hair shirt.

Despite a crowded competitive environment, new business models are emerging to lead CSPs into a vibrant future. However, CSPs must have the courage to transform. Hard decisions about what is core and non-core are required.

Earlier today I hosted a webinar which explored the ever-evolving CSP business model. Thanks to everyone who attended and brought their questions.

The webinar runs about an hour: audio (mp3) and slides (pdf).
