Possible Steps in Business Evolution 
Basic service; co-location, hosting, white space leasing services, profitable when done effectively, efficiently; current market model 
IAAS; Provide dedicated and/or shared hardware services; Backend vendor agreements, increase revenue and margins, additional revenue sharing models 
PAAS; local Amazon like services for public, private and hybrid cloud hosting 
SAAS; rather ecosystem dependent and indirect business modeling unless major change in existing CSP strategy is entertained 
DAAS and beyond, ITAAS; market maturity dependent on readiness and willingness needs to be measured; transition when everything else is in cloud
IT is the Business 
•In next 5 years, IT related service will become major part of CSPs’ income. 
•In 2010, CSPs’ Data center construction projects has increased 500% (Gartner) 
CSP Reporting Lines CTIO heading networks and IT, reporting to CEO 
• Vodafone 
• Telstra 
• Deutsche Telecom 
• T-Mobile, US 
Managers with an IT background and diversified management experience, tend to show the necessary skills for a CTIO role, which requires management of evolving skills, complex and converging technologies and diversified suppliers 
Gartner, 2011
Internet data size double every two years - immediate opportunity 
Information explosion requires data center to store the information: UCG (Blog, etc), Multimedia, Video data, let to double size of global data every 2 years 
Data flow replacing voice, occupies major capacity of CT network 
Internet data flow increase 70%/year 
Content need be to stored in IDC, to assure customer experience 
Others:Clearance between CSPs, Customer experience assurance, etc. 
China mobile pay 1M RMB/Gb/month to China telecom
IDC Value Added Services 
VPN/MPLS 
Target customers: enterprises with multiple operation in the South East Asia region 
Data Access 
Target customers: Content providers; enterprise need to access centralized mail server globally; business travelers. 
DDos Mitigation 
Target customers: large web sites and enterprise 
Service—Disaster Recovery 
Target customers: large enterprise, mission critical system

Telcos Around the World 
Far EasTone Telecommunications is saddled with a relatively small and mature domestic market, telecom carrier has focused on nontraditional services, such as digital books, advertising, social media, digital music and application stores, to boost its revenue. It is focusing on local preferences and culture (through which it can avoid head-on competition with global competitors), and on pursuing opportunities in the cloud computing space. 
Telefonica: has set up a mobile banking joint venture with MasterCard, targeting consumers in Latin America. It has participated in social networking (Tuenti), IPTV, media and M2M services. It also has an investment arm seeking out new technology and service innovations. 
France Telecom is aggressively pursuing nontraditional service opportunities. It has acquired Unanimis (which provides digital advertising), in addition to participating in mobile payment initiatives. It is also seeking to invest in Dailymotion for online video distribution. 
Sprint is pursuing nontraditional service opportunities to remain competitive. Sprint is participating in digital applications such as advertising and music (Sprint Music Plus, for example, in which it leverages its partnership with Rhapsody). It has forged an agreement with American Express to enable its smartphone users to use Serve, American Express' mobile payment service. Sprint was also the first telecom carrier to support Google Wallet, in early 2011. It is also establishing its M2M ecosystem.
