Executive Summary
BuddeComm’s annual publication,
Overall telecom market revenue has fallen steadily since 2007. Little respite is anticipated for operators in the fixed-line and broadcasting sectors in 2010. However, nearly half of all turnover is from the resilient mobile sector despite it having been affected most from regulatory measures and stiff competition. Turnover from fixed-line telephony will continue to fall in coming years in line with lower access and call charges, consumer migration to VoIP and the substitution of fixed-line for mobile telephony.
Nevertheless, there is considerable scope for further telecom development as the country moves towards a resilient All-IP future. The bulk of tangible investments in telecom networks has been in developing the mobile sector, which has been buttressed by technologies including LTE and HSPA+ as well as the allocation of sub-1GHz spectrum for 3G use.
