At the same time they understand that to maximize revenue and income from their subscribers they are required to offer new services. The key opportunity lies in effectuating the personalized and interactive nature of broadband and IP. The market will be dominated by broadband as the key application delivery technology for consumers and businesses, while IP is the unified communications protocol. The combination of broadband and IP enable every service provider to offer the full suite of residential and business services, including video, voice and data. This creates the opportunity for incumbent operators to offer a range of new services beyond traditional voice and internet access enabling new sources of income. At the same time the new technologies have leveled the playing field for non-incumbent service providers to compete directly with the incumbent operators. As a result, competition among broadband service providers has further intensified and has resulted in the most dynamic communications market to date.
