Paul Johnson Talks at the BancBoston Robertson Stephens Investing in
Innovations Conference
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by
BancBoston Robertson Stephens, a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, CRD number 41271:
Paul Johnson, managing director and senior communications and networking
analyst at BancBoston Robertson Stephens, addressed an audience of over
200 institutional investors at the investment bank's annual Investing in
Innovations conference in San Francisco, California. In his presentation,
Johnson advised:
* We estimate that the next generation network market will, within the
next 10 years, see $500 billion to $1 trillion of wealth creation in the
next generation equipment vendors
* We expect that the next generation network market will generate greater
wealth creation than any prior technology market we have seen in the
past
* We believe that no prior leader will emerge as the winner in this space,
however we are excited about current market leaders such as: Cerrant,
Clarent, Jetstream, Juniper, Optical Networks, Inc., Redback, Sonus
Networks and Sycamore
* The name of the game is packets, it's about building new
next-generation-carrier-networks; convergence is a marketing myth
* We see market opportunity in three segments: IP infrastructure, voice
applications and a next generation transport network
We believe that the next set of technology gorillas within this market
opportunity will possess the following criteria:
1. a technology platform that looks like a product; customers buy
products, vendors need platforms to respond to changing customer needs,
2. execution; the rewards will go to those companies that best execute on
the opportunity,
3. a management that team that believes they can build the next generation
company,
4. first mover advantage, as defined as the first company to capture
customers and
5. patient capital, Rome was not built in a day.
Johnson has been discussing many of these themes for the past 18 months.
