Most incumbents no longer hold monopoly status in their telecom market. New entrants with lower overheads and minimal legacy equipment are able to compete and penetrate the market with lower price points.

Without a strong methodology for business case, market and portfolio planning, it is not surprising to see companies struggling to develop and maintain competitive portfolios.
