1 Ethernet is the big growth area in fixed corporate networks
2 Operators have to deliver more bandwidth as well as quality guarantees: 2.1 Access technologies vary in terms of the cost-effectiveness of the bandwidth upgrades they deliver; 2.2 Bandwidth needs to be accompanied by QoS guarantees
3 Ethernet offers must be tailored to specific needs of customers: 3.1 Some customers want maximum bandwidth for a given price; 3.2 Some customers prioritise flexible and easy-to-configure data networking between sites; 3.3 Customers with security concerns want to retain control of the IP layer when upgrading VPN bandwidth
4 Carriers of different types should prioritise different Ethernet services: 4.1 Spend on Ethernet in Western Europe will exceed EUR7 billion by 2010, representing 33% of the total business data market; 4.2 Incumbents should position their Ethernet services aggressively to secure market share; 4.3 Global network operators are well placed to address the E-LAN and QoS markets; 4.4 National data operators can offer E-LAN and QoS to corporate small sites; 4.5 LLUB operators can tap the lucrative SME market; 4.6 SIs should provide high-quality Ethernet to corporate customers; 4.7 New-entrant Ethernet carriers must stay ahead of the opposition with their quality and pricing
