It often seems difficult to find an industry that is more competitive than telecommunications. Service providers are rapidly developing new service capabilities and aggressively entering new markets, blurring the lines between voice, data, cable, IP and wireless. Unique price and regulatory pressures are also making it more difficult for providers to grow market share and manage a healthy profit picture.
