Aggregation Market
CF: What is the current state of aggregation, and how does this investment tie into the opportunities you see?
RA: I think that everyone is trying to be an aggregator today. All the large cable MSOs and telephone companies are trying to aggregate, and what everyone realizes is, it’s really hard to do. A lot of people outsource it. Spectrotel exhibits 25 years of experience in aggregation and we have superior technology, operational expertise, and simply outperform a lot of the new entrants in the market. Software-defined networking was really built for aggregators like Spectrotel. We’re not tied to the ball and chain of the network and can truly bring diversity of all access types based on a customer’s bandwidth, geography and pricing requirements.
