Alcatel-Lucent book details $100 billion development 'shift'

Alcatel-Lucent has published a new book detailing its views on how telecom and service provider opportunities will develop in the future. You can order a copy here http://www.theshiftonline.com/.

The book contains predictions and advice such as the finding that users will pay 25 percent to 35 percent more for a service with three capabilities operating simultaneously, compared to a service with one capability, something network-based development can enable.

More than 50 percent of consumers are comfortable sharing sensitive profile information, such as location, presence and online behaviors, with their mobile provider.

Nearly 50 percent of commercial developers would use network-based APIs and are willing to pay twice as much for APIs bundled together versus those sold separately. Enterprise IP
developers will pay up to three times more.

A third of U.S. advertisers would use network services that enable them to deliver advertisements across social media sites based on user interests and behaviors.
