CFN Services Bringing Wal*Mart economics to wireless and wireline network operators to solve the TDM local access transport network dilemma. ILLUSTRATIVE – Optimized Transport Network Platforms Flatten the Access Cost Curve –   Access Dilemma: Local access was a Current linear access cost curve $30B cost for carriers in 2005; 53% and 38% of MCI and ATT topline; 40-60% of wireless network operating costs.   Carriers are facing rapidly increasing transport volumes due to data services Recurring bandwidth growth (e.g. Ethernet MAN) TDM Access Facilities based and 3G wireless services expansion Cost platform deployment   Facilities based infrastructure provides significant bulk capacity with low incremental growth costs effectively New incremental access cost curve “flattening” the access cost curve (CFNS optimized infrastructure platform)   CFN’s platform approach enables carriers to enhance profitability as volumes grow without requiring new capex/opex 2x 3x Volume Carriers facing local access transport volume growth achieve better economics with a facilities based platform approach. 3 This document is proprietary and is intended solely for the use and information of the client to whom it is addressed.
