- SONET as timing-enabling transport for IP/Ethernet
- The decades-old concept of AIN – Advanced Intelligent Network – actually deployed on today’s IP networks
- Social gaming. As annoying as all those FarmVille Facebook requests are, adding social elements to games – both online and mobile – has opened up the market to a whole new set of gamers.
- Carrier Ethernet – Ethernet has already won; carrier Ethernet adds new levels of cost savings/efficiency
Coming next: Rumors we (and our readers) would like to see come true.
