Session Abstract:
Today's telecom and cable companies face an increasingly complex and uncertain world in which continual and rapid change is the norm. But different providers face distinctly unique challenges. This panel will evaluate the ways contestants operating in different geographies and customer segments; with distinct business models and products; diverse regulatory and technology environments, evaluate where they are, and where they want to go.

We'll take a look at:

• Which challenges contestants believe are most crucial
• Which opportunities are most relevant
• Which customer behaviors and desires offer the greatest upside
• How contestants respond to the competitive environment
• Where unique value can be created in their chosen markets
• How core competencies can be leveraged to create more growth
