?– (Carrier Ethernet) Demand itself also directly influences Economics,
Standardization, Technology, Fiber Deployment, and Competition in a positive
manner, and Regulation in an inverse fashion. This is depicted in the lower part
of Figure 16.6. In fact, with the exception of Competition, it forms a reinforcing
loop with each of the other influencers. These are the most important and significant
influencers for Carrier Ethernet Demand (and are present in the top-left quadrant of
the figure). This means that an increase (or decrease) of each influencer will lead to a
corresponding increase (or decrease) in demand for Carrier Ethernet, which in turn
will lead to a corresponding increase (or decrease) in that influencer, and on it goes.
?– With the exception of Substitutes, Regulation, and Competition, all the other factors
influence in a positive fashion; these three impact in a negative or inverse
manner, i.e., an increase (or decrease) in Substitutes/Regulation/Competition will
likely lead to a decrease (or increase) in the demand for Carrier Ethernet. This is
clarified in Figure 16.6, which highlights, to some degree, the extent and direction
of this influence.
