Adlane Fellah, the chief researcher for Maravedis, says the MDU connectivity market has become attractive for companies seeking to disrupt incumbent vendors.

Speaking to Beyond the Cable at Broadband Communities Summit last month in Houston, Fellah says he sees a big opportunity for brownfield deployments in the coming months and years. He said his company, a boutique research firm that provides insight on the evolution of wireless infrastructure, is also keenly interested the potential for conversions between fixed and mobile services.

He said collaboration between virtual network operators (VNOs) and managed service providers (MSPs) are something we could see more of in the future.
