These are just some of the questions this in-depth report will help you answer. Customers and service providers are actively reaping the benefits of bundled services. However, some companies are reporting customer losses across the quad-play structure - why? Though quad play is relatively new and an unproven service, many companies are only just starting to look to explore it. The opportunity of offering a bundled mobile, fixed line, broadband and TV solution was too much for NTL and became central to its purchase of Virgin Mobile. Italian operators are fighting increased competition and offering more competitive packages through bundled services. Which companies can you work with? How can you work with these companies? What kind of return should you expect? Will it reduce churn and increase revenue?

But what effect does the movement from two-play to triple and quadruple play have on KPIs? Does the perceived value justify the added costs? This report will tell you. Can TV and media options replace the reducing costs of mobile and fixed line?

How quickly will take-up of these new and emerging services grow given the risks that may have to be faced? Can you afford to take these risks in order to achieve a quad play service? Will you be left behind if you do not?
