Comcast outbids Disney for Fox, as court clears way for AT&T takeover of Time WarnerJune 14, 2018Comcast has made an offer for the entertainment assets of 21st Century Fox, outbidding the Walt Disney Company by around 19%. The offer, which would bring the NBC Universal and Fox movie and TV studios, cable networks and other operations including Sky under the same roof, was delivered by Comcast in a letter to the Fox board of directors yesterday. Comcast’s offer is for $35 per share in cash, with a value of $65 billion. In December, Fox shareholders agreed to sell the assets to Walt Disney for $52.4 billion in an all-stock transaction. Comcast is also making an offer to buy Sky, and said it would continue to pursue the acquisition in parallel with the Fox deal. The UK government approved both this offer and the Fox proposal to buy full control of Sky earlier this month. On Tuesday this week, a US federal court judge cleared the way for AT&T to acquire Time Warner, dismissing the government’s view that the takeover would be anti-competitive. The offer, worth $106 billion, was first made in December 2016. Barring a further move to block the deal by the US government, AT&T said it would aim to complete the deal by 20 June.Subscribers Only

It’s hard to get rid of those good old DMS switches!June 12, 2018That’s the key takeaway from Ribbon Perspectives 18’s Network Transformation panel held on June 5 in Los Angeles.

The panel had representatives from BT, Bell, and Verizon, all talking about their ongoing network transformation initiatives. All three are big on the role of software defined networks (SDN) as the key enabler of automation while preserving some of the legacy nodes that are fully depreciated and providing high reliability.

What are the success factors for fixed wireless access?May 24, 2018There is currently much excitement about fixed wireless access (FWA) using millimeter wave spectrum (mmW), particularly in North America. (By strict definition, millimeter wave implies frequencies between 30 and 300 GHz; however, in the present FWA context the industry also refers to frequencies in the 24 and 28 GHz range as mmW). Millimeter wave offers significant throughput performance with a channel size of up to 900 MHz but has coverage challenges. Clients, please log in to view the full content.Subscribers Only

DTW 2018: The winding, bumpy road to digital transformationMay 21, 2018That’s what we heard first thing in the morning when TM Forum CEO Nik Willetts kicked off this year’s plenary session in rainy Nice, France. In fact, Willetts quoted a McKinsey study saying 70% of transformation projects fail; we found the 50% by directly asking some of our service provider relationships participating at the event, including Orange. And to clarify what we mean by “fail,” transformation projects are costly and do not necessarily deliver the planned ROI, nor do they contribute to lower opex. Overall, the event, rebranded Digital Transformation World (DTW), was as well attended as last year although we found the aisles of the show floor particularly empty on the last day, Wednesday, May 16. Does this mean everyone had had enough of digital transformation? Probably not—most vendors including Amdocs, Ericsson, HPE, Huawei, and Netcracker were very satisfied with the quality of the meetings conducted with their customers.

Arista sets its sights on the campusMay 08, 2018A few months ago, I was asked by a client whether I thought it possible that Arista will enter the campus networking market. Everything’s a possibility, I thought, but this one seems far-fetched. Arista’s current switching products aren’t geared toward the campus (lack of 1G and PoE offerings), and more importantly, Arista doesn’t have a wireless networking portfolio...Subscribers Only
