offerings, with a focus on bundling internet, mobile, and entertainment services.
4. Behavioral Analysis: Competitors are increasingly adopting aggressive pricing strategies
and promotional campaigns to capture market share.
, 5. Capabilities Assessment: Key competitors possess advanced technological
infrastructures and significant financial resources, enabling them to innovate and adapt
swiftly to market changes.
