As well as
Other networks could be stressed as well as more sophisticated phones encouraging such intense use become popular, analysts say.
Can I replace 'as well as' with just 'as' with a little change of meaning?
If so, what's the difference between using 'as well as' and 'as'?
Thanks.

That sentence needs, at the very least, some commas to make sense; however, if you replace 'as well as' with 'as' it does make sense.
'as well as' means 'and' or, sometimes, 'just as good as'.
'as' just means 'since', 'because' or 'to such extent' (among other things)

Yes, I see: 'as well, as' (with a comma) is possible, too!
