This could be bad when it comes to choices for operators. “Oracle’s recent acquisition of Tekelec ups the ante in the already hot policy-management market, where we’re seeing the smaller players being edged out of deals by larger vendors,” comments Shira Levine, Infonetics Research’s directing analyst/Service Enablement and Subscriber Intelligence.
