Consumers now have an average of 16 connected devices in their home, with the number steadily increasing, putting more pressure on BSPs to deliver on consumer expectations.
This webinar discusses key trends impacting the 2023 roadmaps for broadband service providers (BSPs), new managed services BSPs can deploy to enhance and differentiate the subscriber experience, and recommended resources to avoid missteps.
Speakers discuss the many trends driving the market for managed services, their competitive advantages, and best practices to deliver a superior end-user experience.
Competition is rising in the residential broadband market. Fiber rollout is accelerating, and mobile-powered fixed wireless has become available across the United States. A series of new entrants are poised to take market share from the unprepared. At the same time, with increasing inflation, rising interest rates, and economic uncertainty, internet service providers cannot afford to misstep. Time-to-market, deployment, and ongoing support are crtitical to be successful.
