Telecommunications
As mobile broadband subscribers top 200 million globally, the telecom industry is experiencing significant growth and demand from subscribers who now use their phones for more than just talk. In the U.S., web-enabled smartphones are projected to overtake basic phones as the device of choice in the very near future. Rapidly increasing wireless networks in emerging markets open the possibility for mobile broadband subscribers to outnumber wired broadband subscribers within the next decade.
The shift of revenue from fixed to mobile and from voice to data is accelerating as data and media are increasingly untethered from specific devices or networks. Innovation is vibrant and opportunities abound for device manufacturers, service providers, and mobile app developers. But the competition is equally intense, requiring a detailed understanding of the market and clear insight into the signal consumers are sending.
