The document discusses business opportunities in Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) resulting from standardization. It draws an analogy to the personal computer industry, noting that standards-based components experience growing volume and falling prices. This enables robust chip and software businesses while physical layer manufacturing moves to large original design manufacturers. The implications are that semiconductors, software, system integrators and original design manufacturers will be long-term winners, while board-level vendors and contract manufacturers may be long-term losers.
