Dave:
The presumption here is that the telecom companies are really important in
all this -- perhaps they are not?
In order for these advanced services to be developed and rolled out, there
will have to be media, finance, health-care, educational, governmental and
other suppliers who have committed to next-generation services
platforms. A new "on-demand" systems architecture has to be built -- why
presume that Verizon et al are going to play a key role in all this?
Corporations "bypass" the telcos for their own traffic needs
everyday. They will find a way to get to the consumers with these new
services as well.
If the telcos act as a "bottleneck" then they will be bypassed as well --
the important question is what are the service providers doing, not what
the telcos are not doing.
Best,
