Get ready for the next big infrastructure play
The Internet has had a huge impact on both home and business users. But in a sense, the global net that we know today is only a limited preliminary version of what's actually possible. Truth be told, the current internet has bottlenecks, complexity and costs that keep it from being the hugely powerful and universal communications vehicle that it should be.
But that's all changing. Thanks to a technology called Metro Ethernet, a greatly enhanced form of internet working is now available to business and home users, in a few select cities across our region. And in the next few years these initial cities will be joined by a growing tidal wave of metropolitan Ethernet implementations all over the region. And the key to this tidal wave of high-speed connectivity is an infrastructure and service provider like you.
Metro Ethernet takes off
Metro Ethernet is a very powerful next-generation network technology, that delivers extremely high speed internet access while enabling advanced voice, video and data applications that aren't possible on conventional broadband services. Metro Ethernet delivers new modalities of communications for both homes and businesses.
Imagine the home of the future with the most advanced possible, on-demand entertainment, shopping, education, conferencing and security services - Metro Ethernet makes that possible today. Or imagine a hyper agile and competitive business of the future, with virtually unlimited internal and external communication capabilities - Metro Ethernet makes that possible today as well. Eliminating the limitations imposed by older broadband services, Metro Ethernet unleashes new types of interpersonal communications and new approaches to electronic commerce for all types of information and communication technology users.
The past few years have witnessed successful Metro Ethernet rollouts in France, UK, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Dubai, Bahrain and other locations across our region. These successes prove that user demand and network technologies are mature and ready for deployment. The stage is set for Metro Ethernet to take off in a major way now.
Infrastructure and service providers unite!
Metro Ethernet is creating some unique growth and profit opportunities for a wide range of infrastructure and service providers. Utility companies are using Metro Ethernet to create valuable new revenue streams with existing physical assets and rights of way. Property developers are adding value to their buildings and achieving greater tenant retention. Governments and municipalities are invigorating urban economies and created greatly enhanced community services. Network service providers are reducing customer churn with next-generation network services that provide a sustainable competitive advantage. For all types of users and providers, Metro Ethernet is real broadband and real opportunity for greatly enhanced commercial and interpersonal communications.
