Summary
 The boundaries between the TV, PC, and mobile devices are blurring. Service providers are being challenged from all sides for control over the consumer and the content they consume. Multi-screen video services may give service providers a competitive advantage. This research examines consumer behavior and preferences regarding multi-screen video services. The report identifies how US consumers are using the different screens and the frequency that applications/activities are used.
 
 The research also identifies multi-screen service requirements, evaluates the demand for content-only multi-screen services, and quantifies the added value that converged multi-screen services provide.
 
 Finally, the research assesses the market for PC-TV two-screen services, and PC-mobile two-screen services. The survey data is used to highlight the differences between the two approaches, and to generate a five-year US subscriber and revenue forecast for both types of multi-screen services.

Summary
 This research is an update to the In-Stat report entitled Multi-Service Business Gateways: Cisco Under Attack, #IN0702852LN, published April 2007, which quantifies the worldwide market for SMB and branch office MSBG devices. It is also an extension of research published in the In-Stat report entitled Applications Define the Multi-Service Business Gateway, #IN0803993WWI, published June 2008, which examines the attitudes and buying behavior toward MSBGs by US businesses operating small, medium, and branch offices.
 
 The research presents a detailed description of varying types of MSBGs, categorizing products into router-based, voice-based, and office-in-a-box MSBG devices. The evolution toward third-generation MSBGs is also examined. The report quantifies the MSBG total available market, 2007 product shipments, and a five year MSBG unit and revenue forecast for the US and global markets.
 
 In-Stat's research has confirmed the overwhelming appeal of multi-service devices by businesses that operate small, medium, and branch offices. In-Stat has also documented evolving technology trends that are creating third-generation MSBGs. Based on this research, In-Stat has concluded that MSBGs will be the means by which future IP communication technology is adopted in the SMBs and branch office market segments.

Summary
 The migration of small, medium, and branch offices to IP communication has created a market for devices that serve multiple functions. The availability of third-party application software, off-shore manufacturing, and system-on-chip technology has driven the convergence of the router, Ethernet switch, firewall security, VPN, and VoIP gateway market segments, forming a new product segment that In-Stat named in 2004, the multi-service business gateway (MSBG).
 
 This report traces the development of the MSBG over the past three years. The report identifies major technology trends and equipment suppliers. The MSBG market is analyzed by examining primary applications, such as network connectivity and IP voice communication.
 
 The findings from a primary research survey of US businesses operating SMB or branch offices are presented. The survey focuses on identifying business attitudes toward the use of MSBG devices, as well as assessing future buying behavior.

Summary
 Recent rulings in South Carolina illustrate how antiquated telecom regulation has become. This In-Stant Analysis examines the current legal controversy surrounding Time Warner Cable’s (TMCs) desire to offer VoIP services in competition with rural incumbent telephone companies. The FCC has backed TMC’s right to PSTN interconnection. The South Carolina Supreme Court thinks otherwise. Does it really matter?

Summary
 A few years ago, IMS was all the rage. Today, the term is hardly ever mentioned. Has the migration to NGNs ceased, or has it simply changed form? This research report examines the current state of NGN development and explores the reasons why operators are making relatively risk-free investment decisions. A detailed look at why selected operators have chosen to build an NGN is presented, along with changing attitudes regarding network architecture and configurations. The report also reviews how the prevailing carrier market conditions are impacting the global equipment suppliers.
 
 Finally, there is a discussion of some interesting, and possibly disruptive, trends that could have a profound impact on service provider markets. A worldwide capital expenditure (CAPEX) forecast covering 2008-2012 is presented, segmented by product category, network layer, and geographic region. Unlike other reports that hype a specific technology, or product segment, this report provides a real-world understanding of the market forces driving, and often delaying NGN migrations. It is a must-read for both equipment suppliers and service providers.
