In the last decade, new technology and deregulation have turned the telecommunications industry on its head. In response to these challenges, local service providers have had to reinvent themselves. It's been a moment of reassessment, but also one of incredible opportunity, with the creative thinkers and the innovators leading the pack.

The most pressing challenges local service providers face in this environment are:

• increasing revenue
• reducing capital expenditure
• increasing Internet traffic
• identifying solutions that bridge the gap between traditional networks and new technology
• making new technologies available to customers
• competing with cable companies that are offering voice and data

Responding to the challenge

Co-founded in 1999 by leaders in the industry including Mike Perrault, President and Chief Operating Officer and Stéphane Ménard, Chief Technology Officer, Simpler Networks has built a management team of experts in the new challenges of telecommunications.
