CSPs that evolve into cloud service providers could expand well beyond the traditional communications industry services market, extending their presence into a vastly larger market of network-powered blended services. This paper examines ways that CSPs can take advantage of cloud computing internally, and externally as a cost-effective way to create, manage, and monetize cloud-based services for their customers.
