The 2006 Telecommunications Industry Market Facts and Forecasts:
"...As stated in the study, worldwide telecommunications services revenue
is expected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 5.9 percent from 2005 through
2010, which reflects the level of sustainable growth enjoyed by the telecom
segment prior to the technology bubble of the late 1990s. While the first part
of the decade was brutal for the telecommunications industry, The 2006 Telecom
Industry Market Facts and Forecasts predicts that worldwide
telecommunications industry services revenue will grow from $1.2 trillion in
2006 to almost $1.6 trillion in 2010, bringing an end to the industry
slump."
"The malaise of the past few years is finally beginning to
dissipate, and while we see an industry-wide return to historic levels
of growth, we anticipate that growth will be uneven across various geographic
regions and product types," says Insight Research president Robert
Rosenberg."
"Asia-Pacific and Latin-America/Caribbean are forecasted to enjoy the fastest overall broadband growth, while North America and Europe lag."
Anyone have an opinion on the future of the industry:
I see where cable operators have gotten into the cell-phone buz. Good for their revenue, and if you're building towers!
