As a communications service provider (CSP), you want to offer your customers the right broadband services. This includes bringing high-speed broadband to the home, but also ensuring that your end-users can benefit from high speeds throughout the home. To bring all these functions may require multiple devices, but there is a mutual requirement to reduce the number of devices in the home: - As a CSP, you may need to manage these devices, adding to the operational expense. - End-users usually don’t like too many devices in their living room. There is the visual aspect, space requirements and the need to power all those devices. So, it is crucial to find the right balance between offered functionality and number of devices.
