The telecommunications network is evolving and can now support an unprecedented degree of globalization for large enterprises.
AT&T (News - Alert), in its latest white paper, Next Generation Network Series: The Evolving Network, goes into great detail on how the telecommunications network is changing for the better and becoming more intelligent and agile. New technologies at every layer of the network are providing increased flexibility and agility.
This white paper explains how there is also a new, more expansive view of the network emerging to reflect an intelligent repository of content, functions and applications.

Examples of this evolution are evident in network-centric hosting, content distribution, multi-layer on-line gaming and software-as-a-service.
New service opportunities are also popping up, such as Radio Frequency
 Identification (RFID) technology which can be used to tag everything from individual items to entire pallets of products.
