tradx...your clarity of views are a godsend here...much appreciated.
"Mobility/cross-platform voice integration and new open channels will cause fast leaps in the demand for QOS and smart (and cheaper) noise/echo cancellation imho..."
No probs with this....but can we genuinely go as far as to say that the new ASP requirements will be a MUST have for all telco products sold in Europe post feb 2006....and so all telcos equipment guys will be forced to buy ASP from at least one of the available suppliers between now and early 2006?
If you are not 100% sure one way or the other I will try to do some digging in the background to suss out how the land lies on this one....perhaps speak to one of the larger UK telco distributors to see what end user demand is cropping up from corporates for EU compliant equipment...
The other angle on this is the extent to which the new teo telco customer actively markets their new ASP products and stokes up demand for EU regs compliant equipment and will effectively red flag the ASP issue to telco equipment rivals who MAY be worried to be caught with their pants down? LOL.....
