Recommendation

The telecommunications sector is one bright spot in a still-troubled world economy. Firms are investing heavily in infrastructure to meet future demand. But the Economist Intelligence Unit’s forecasts and in-depth analysis paint a far more complex picture – one framed by rapid technological advances, uncertain revenue sources, China’s communications revolution and competition from interlopers such as cable companies and Google. getAbstract commends this work as a valuable arsenal of information for industry professionals and investors who need to be forearmed in a rapidly changing field.

Take-Aways

  • Rapid innovation and burgeoning demand will drive a 39% global increase in fixed, mobile and web infrastructure investment through 2017.
  • Mobile subscriptions will reach 6.8 billion worldwide, and broadband subscriptions will surge to close to a billion by 2017. Fixed lines will drop.
  • China, already home to the largest telecom company in the world, is ramping up investment and taking important first steps to expand its mobile market.
