Product Code: R388-2286Description Service providers are focused on how they can increase subscriber ARPU for data services beyond the 10% to 20% threshold they have achieved to date. However, they must also keep operating expenses in line as they roll out new data services. Operators realize they cannot invest in an ad hoc service delivery network infrastructure as they have done in the past to support these new content data services. Instead, they seek to leverage standardsbased principles from the IT industry to create a common standards-based component architecture as the backbone for their new service offerings. The industry refers to this standards-based component infrastructure as a service delivery platform (SDP)—although it is, in essence, the next phase in the evolution of the SDP.Table of Contents - I.
