BackChannel Guest Blog at Telco2.0

The Telco2.0 initiative is a collection of like-minded telecom practitioners and stakeholders: investors, managers, analysts, consultants, suppliers and customers, looking for a sustainable economic model for connectivity providers. Among other aims, the initiative aspires to cure traditional network operators from the fear of dumb pipes. As those of us in the UK already know, utility businesses can be very profitable given the right cost base, and funding/pricing approach.
