Not by the ISP. All their equipment is made by other companies (like Cisco, Juniper, etc.) who do that kind of innovation. They're just buying the pieces and snapping them together.
- NoPiece 12y agoFair enough, but AT&T does spend ~1 billion in R&D. Verizon doesn't report their number but supposedly it is less. Innovation isn't just hardware development, and even if they are relying on other companies, they are pushing innovation by paying Cisco/Juniper.
- jsz0 12y ago> Not by the ISP. Major service providers are very much involved in the development process of industry specific/optimized equipment.
- zokier 12y agoThat is like saying that intel does not do innovation in semiconductors because they buy their equipment from ASML.
