Chip vendors must address network OpEx

摘要

"The largest concern is OpEx," said [Eric Mantion], senior analyst for networking technology at InStat/MDR. "If you look at the last 12 months, a lot of carriers and/or service providers have imploded under debt, and what I suspect is inefficient OpEx. These would include Covad, Excite@Home, and Global Crossing, to name a few," Mantion said. (In-Stat/MDR is owned by Reed Business Information, the parent company of Electronic News.)
