Unlike the fixed market, the mobile market is, in general, competitive – with some good products and prices arriving in the market. This, in turn, has driven demand for mobile broadband. However it is important to realise that this growth has as much to do with affordability as it has to do with the technical innovations in and around smartphones.

-
Lao mobile market recovering after serious disruption by the Beeline dispute
The telecom sector in Laos still has many issues to address. The rate of regulatory reform continues to be well behind industry development and this has the potential to derail the progress already made if the reform is not speeded up.
-
The NBN will connect approximately 7% of all premises in the country to a fixed-wireless network. This consists of an LTE-based component that will cover 5%, with a satellite-based network dealing with the remaining 2%.
-
The telcos were the first cabs off the rank once they began to understand what they could do with the internet. However, they then became entangled in their vertically-integrated business models, trying to be all things to all people.
-
IPTV is making a comeback with new services to be launched in the wake of the arrival of the NBN and a revival of triple play models. Faster broadband speeds and increased uptake by consumers and businesses are driving the video demand, as internet media companies together with content producers fill the niche market.
-
Telecom Investment Research Note
The costs of acquiring a customer have grown along with the increase in smart phone uptake. Subsidising handsets is an expensive exercise and it is has become even more important for the telcos to retain the customer once they are on board.
-
The use of IT and telecommunications technology within educational environments is set to increase dramatically over the coming years as high-speed fibre-based broadband becomes widely available in Australia.
-
Parallel to its plans to build the national broadband network (NBN) the government also launched its National Digital Economy Strategy.
Based on the trans-sector model the NBN will become the shared infrastructure for a range of sectors such as e-health, e-education, smart grids, e-government, digital economy, digital media, etc.
-
During 2011 an increasing number of retail service providers (RSPs) were accredited by NBN Co to take part in the various pilots, as well as in the official rollout program. As NBN Co is a pure wholesale operator the end-users will depend upon the RSPs for innovative products and affordable pricing.
-
New technologies are offering unprecedented opportunities for people with disability, older Australians and people experiencing illnesses to develop a much more inclusive and accessible infrastructure for a range of communication, information and social applications.
-
E-health where key killer applications utilise truly high-speed broadband networks are starting to emerge. The Australian Government is a leader in strategic trans-sector thinking, is linking e-health developments to the National Broadband Network.
-
Just over a decade ago BuddeComm started talking about the great potential of Application Service Providers (ASPs) but, together with the data centres, they were dunked in the dotcom crisis. Even then we indicated that the concept was sound and that it had great potential.
-
For more than a decade the traditional media has been on notice about the changes to be faced because of developments in the digital media market. So far it has failed to take decisive action, partly because it was afraid of cannibalisation and partly because its business models do not cater for swift business action.
-
The plan for the national broadband network (NBN) allows the government to use this infrastructure as a catalyst for a range of new services that will transform both the economy and Australian society in general.
-
By early 2012 mobile network operator 2degrees has over 10% market share in just over two years since launching in the previous duopoly mobile market. With the new player creating some price-based competition in the saturated New Zealand mobile market the resulting churn between operators saw market share sliding.
-
Austar United Communications (AUSTAR) is Australia’s second largest subscription TV operator after FOXTEL. The company offers digital television services to customers in regional and rural areas using satellite and also offers dial-up internet.
-

-
Developing countries cannot afford to miss out on the development, growth and trade opportunities offered by broadband infrastructure. Far beyond the tangible economic benefits realized through broadband infrastructure in jobs, trade and productivity - the information and education services offered by the Internet are now public goods with truly global dimensions.
-
Nigeria is one of the biggest and fastest growing telecom markets in Africa, attracting huge amounts of foreign investment, and is yet standing at relatively low levels of market penetration. Far reaching liberalisation has led to hundreds of companies providing virtually all kinds of telecom and value-added services in an independently regulated market.
-
Nigeria is the most competitive fixed-line market in Africa, featuring a second national operator (SNO, Globacom) and over 80 other companies licensed to provide fixed-telephony services. The alternative carriers combined now provide over 90% of all fixed connections while the ailing incumbent, Nitel, is struggling to attract a new strategic investor and looking for new business models to turn the company around.
-
Significant consolidation has occurred in Nigeria’s Internet and broadband sector, from over 400 ISPs three years ago to around 130 in early 2012. New powerful players from the fixed-wireless and mobile network operator camps have entered the market with 3G mobile and advanced wireless broadband services such as WiMAX.
-
Nigeria has overtaken South Africa to become the continent’s largest mobile market with now over 90 million subscribers, and yet market penetration stands at only around 60% in early 2012. Subscriber growth had slowed significantly during the global economic crisis, re-accelerated in 2010 but then slowed again in 2011.
-
Ukraine’s mobile market is highly competitive due to a number of mobile operators offering services via GSM, CDMA and WCDMA/HSDPA networks. Mobile broadband services present the next growth opportunity given the saturated mobile voice market although the major GSM operators are hampered by lack of licences to offer 3G services.
-
Ukraine’s possesses a significant telecoms market due to its large population. Competition is improving as alternative operators engage in infrastructure-based competition due to lack of an effective last mile network access regime.
-
Ukraine possesses a sizeable broadband market, with effective cross-platform competition. DSL dominates access, though cable is also available while there has been considerable investment in FttH and FttB in recent quarters.
-
The electricity industry is one of Australia’s largest industries, contributing 1.4% to Australia’s. The industry consists of generators, transmission and distribution networks and retailers. Over the ten years from 1999 to 2009, Australia’s electricity use increased at an average rate of 2.
-
Despite economic and financial upheavals the telecoms industry is moving ahead at a fast pace. As a matter of fact our industry is one of the least affected by this turmoil, and in many ways it will be a catalyst for transformation.
-
Austria’s mobile market is fiercely contested by three network operators and a growing number of MVNOs and resellers. The competitive environment has led to relatively low ARPU for operators and some of Europe’s lowest tariffs for consumers.
-
The Cypriot mobile market is served by two mobile network operators (Cytamobile-Vodafone and MTN Cyprus), which have both launched 3G and HSPA services. A third operator, PrimeTel Mobile, launched operations in mid-2011 and thus far has only a small market share.
-
Despite market liberalisation Cyprus’s telecoms market continues to be dominated by the incumbent, which is still fully-owned by the government. Improved regulatory conditions, particularly in relation to network interconnection and access, has given competing operators the confidence to invest in network infrastructure, unbundle local loops and launch competing services.
-
The broadband market in Cyprus remains undeveloped by the standards of leading European countries. DSL is the most popular access platform, with cable broadband restricted to a single operator with a network concentrated in a few key towns.
-
Russia possesses the largest mobile market in Europe. A number of mobile network operators offer services although the market is dominated by three major operators (MTS, Vimpelcom and MegaFon), which have expanded nationally through acquisitions of smaller regional service providers.
-
Romania’s mobile communications market is served by five mobile network operators utilising a mixture of GSM, CDMA and WCDMA technologies. Current penetration levels indicate saturation although multiple SIM-card ownership is evident.
-
Political interference keeping telecom reform at bay
Among the poorest countries in Central America, with some 70% of the population living below the poverty line, Honduras has long been plagued by an unstable political framework which has rendered telecom reform difficult.
-
Broadband has grown rapidly in recent years as incumbent and alternative telecom operators upgrade infrastructure as part of a general trend of migrating beyond voice-centric offerings to voice, broadband and convergence services.
