Cable operators are going through major business transformations lately to get control over their costs (90% of them coming from their access networks comprising of facilities, outside plant, and in-home networks) and gain additional revenues to maintain healthy margins. The yin and the yang between the cost and the revenue centers are discussed in [1], where we recommend developing a long-term TCO-based plan. Cost optimization is only one side of the access business transformation coin.

In this blog, we want to highlight the risk-based balancing act the operators need to consider in their access business transformation.
