The Evolution of the Networking Industry

There are some fundamentals in the networking industry that have evolved over the last decade, as it has become a very different place to compete. For example, financial strength provides a significant advantage in the ability to out innovate the competition on a regular and consistent basis. To enter the networking industry today, a large initial investment is required. In order to survive, the investment has to be spread across volumes. Only those with scale distribution and volume sales will break away and succeed.

In this presentation, Mike Volpi will discuss the evolution of the networking industry and how innovation is directly affected by these changes.
