Review Technical and Regulatory Perspectives on FMC and Home Zone Solutions in Europe:Despite the flurry of fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) service launches, market demand and acceptance for such services remain unclear, and the push remains largely industry driven. Dual-mode handset availability remains a major issue, as do complex tariff structures and services options. Operators are taking multiple different approaches to FMC deployment in terms of both technical issues and service packaging. To compete in the convergence landscape, mobile network operators (MNOs) are offering fixed-mobile substitution (FMS) services. They remain a step ahead of the FMC pack, but for how long? In this Yankee Group Report, we gauge current FMC/FMS offerings from a European perspective, while describing the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Review Swimming Upstream: Service Providers Need New Business Model for User-Generated Content:For the better part of the past decade, developments in consumer broadband technology have concentrated on improving capacity on downstream—from the network to the user—data channels. Upstream capacity, or the channel from the user to the network, largely was an afterthought. With rare exceptions, such as the development of the DOCSIS 1. 1 standard, the entire focus of the broadband industry has been on improving the internet user experience by allowing for faster web page views and downloads. However, three significant behavioral and attitudinal shifts during the past 18 months have caused service providers and vendors to reconsider that focus and put more emphasis on upstream capacity. Those shifts are: Increased penetration of digital cameras, camera-equipped mobile phones and digital video cameras, along with the introduction of high-definition video cameras for consumers, which produce significantly larger digital files and will create greater strain on upstream capacity. Disaggregating of the traditional media value chain in which user-generated content is taking on more importance An increasingly dispersed workforce in which geographic boundaries are erased for knowledge workers In this Yankee Group report, we explore the potential for service providers to adopt a business model that monetizes upstream bandwidth. To arrive at these models, we explore a number of factors including: The applications that require increase upstream bandwidth capacity Current and future capabilities of access technology The cost structure required on the part of service providers to enhance upstream paths.

Review The Purchasing Machine: How the Top Ten Companies Use Best Practices to Manage Their Supply Chains / Diane Pub Co:Every day companies leave billions of dollars in invisible, unrealized savings on the table because of poor supply chain management practices. Now supply management experts Dave Nelson, Patricia E. Moody, and Jonathan Stegner show not only how leading companies recoup these savings through their mastery of target costing, value engineering, and supplier development, but how supply chain management - the discipline of acquiring and moving material - has become a manufacturing company's hottest competitive weapon. Based on a survey of 247 purchasing managers and more than 1,000 hours of interviews and on-site visits, the authors have selected ten top firms whose supply management pioneers excel at twenty "best practices. " With cases and stories, Nelson, Moody, and Stegner show how these leading-edge purchasing departments at American Express, SmithKline Beecham, DaimlerChrysler, Harley-Davidson, Honda of America, IBM, John Deere, Whirlpool, Flextronics, and Sun Microsystems have put into place pathbreaking processes and procedures. Here, for example, described in step-by-step detail, are Chrysler's SCORE program and Honda's strategic sourcing strategy that saved the companies billions. The book also includes a crucial section on the next stage of supplier development that will involve the sourcing and allocation of ideas as well as materials. The authors provide concrete, practical steps to improvement that any supply chain manager can take to successfully implement these best practices. The Purchasing Machine will be required reading for logistics, purchasing, and procurement managers in hundreds of thousands of companies. The authoritative nature of the authors' source material is certain to make this the single most important and practical reference on best purchasing practices for years to come. [+]The Purchasing Machine, by supply-management professionals Dave Nelson, Patricia E. Moody, and Jonathan Stegner, presents a strong argument for the growing importance of this highly specialized facet of the manufacturing process-incorporating "purchasing, money and material flows, ownership of acquisition and sourcing strategies, and even intellectual property movement and control"-along with a series of related measures that could carry companies to the top in years ahead. It also focuses on the leadership skills necessary to make them a reality. The authors admit that their best-practice companies (American Express, Flextronics, Whirlpool, Harley-Davidson, IBM, John Deere, Honda of America, Sun Microsystems, SmithKline Beecham, and DaimlerChrysler) aren't perfect in all areas, as evidenced by the recent tribulations of the latter automaker. But each has learned to excel in a particular area, such as customer relations or systems innovations, and the authors describe them and ways their examples might help others cut costs and turn resultant savings into "lower consumer prices, exciting products, or fatter shareholder returns. " Nelson, Moody, and Stegner identify 20 of these best practices (such as Training, Supplier Information Sharing, and Loaned Executives), and show how "the discipline of acquiring and moving material" can be turned to strategic advantage. -Howard Rothman.
