Cites key Telco challenges such as provisioning, realization of

vital for success.
Reston, VA -- Detecon, Inc., a leading global telecommunications and
information technology consultant, today released its new whitepaper
entitled "The Telco TV Component of Triple Play: US Market Outlook."
Developing a full-service video offer is one of the most important
facets of the Triple Play battle now forming between local telephone
companies and cable operators. This unique new paper details both
the business and technical issues of this emerging technology, with
a focus on US markets. This includes a look at the market's
structure, key factors for ROI, competition, middleware, regulatory
issues and more. |

"The TV portion of Triple Play is mission-critical for US Telcos,"
said Eckart Pech, CEO of Detecon, Inc. "Not only will Telcos need to
roll out a complete portfolio of video services, but they'll need to
invest in support processes such as provisioning and customer care
to realize the market share their shareholders expect."
Detecon's new paper details some of the key issues for Telcos
seeking a video offer, including a look at the progress made by a
select few Telco players.
"To better position themselves for tomorrow's marketplace, US Telcos
need to start investing today in their video offer and making sure
they differentiate their offer from cable companies with advanced
services," said Susannah Spellman, Senior Consultant at Detecon,
Inc. "Compared to the $90 billion investment made by Cable operators
to offer Triple Play since the 1996 Telecom Act, RBOC investments
pale in comparison."
Triple Play is the combination of voice, video and high-speed
internet access. Detecon feels this combination will be vital in
winning and retaining customers as competition heats up in the
converging telecom and entertainment markets.
"Detecon has seen the same market dynamics before in other parts of
the world," added Pech. "We can help US Telcos create and launch
innovative new services in order to protect themselves from new
entrants."
