No real commentary on it, but I thought I would point you to an interview posted at IT Business Edge with Jeff Jernigan of Instat, a communications market research firm that has been tracking the trend of managed services in the market. Managed services is one of those buzzwords that it seems like everyone must be embracing, but it's interesting to get some numbers attached to the trend: Jernigan says overall growth in the field is around 8%, which isn't shabby, but isn't quite the explosion one might assume from the way other analysts talk it up (including myself, I suppose).

I tend to disagree a bit with the above assertion. Looking at managed services without taking into account the holistic Telco arena will give you a skewed & partial view. Traditional Telco services are in decline so MS growth is there to help. Also, I have seen reports from IDC & Gartner which cite 15% and above CAGR, so the numbers are a bit different at that level.
