David Noguer Bau, head of service provider marketing, EMEA, at US-based vendor Juniper Networks discusses current and future trends.

Eurocomms.com: Juniper released its Q4 and 2011 results last week showing a weak final quarter but increased full year revenues. Your president and CEO highlighted weak demand from service providers – do you see this changing?
