This document presents IDC's top 10 predictions for 2008 for the Western European fixed-line telecoms market.

"For several reasons, telecoms operators are casting themselves as providers of solutions, not plumbing, and this is driving much of the change we expect to see in 2008, overlaid by major external forces like regulation and green IT," said James Eibisch, research director of IDC's European Telco Strategies research.

The information provided in this study is essential reading for fixed-line operators, infrastructure vendors, hosting providers, system integrators, and any other player in the fixed-line market that is interested in understanding the forces shaping the industry in 2008.
