Broadband, as a word, is becoming slipperier and perhaps less
meaningful every day.
Increasingly over the next few years, the term is likely to refer to
such a diverse range of offerings that any two people with
“broadband” could have vastly different experiences.
As network technology evolves, broadband users will be divided not just
by different tiers of speed and disparate media -- the haves and have
nots segmenting into those with fiber, souped-up DSL, cable modem,
WiMAX, etc. -- but by service quality features specific to each
individual’s preferences.
The latest version of Alcatel-Lucent’s triple-play platform, which
will be on display at NXTcomm08, includes more granular subscriber
management and service quality features to allow consumers to, as the
vendor put it, “choose the quality of experience they want, for the
content they care about and at a price they are prepared to pay.”
