Mobile Now the Majority of Service Provider Revenue

January 15, 2012

Mobile services are crucial for communications service providers and other business partners in the communications ecosystem because of the growing dominance of mobile revenues. According to Ofcom, mobile service revenues now represent the majority of revenues in many countries.

Already above 50 percent, mobile revenues now are approaching 60 percent of total.

By some measures, service providers now make nearly as much money from mobile broadband services as they do from fixed broadband. Ofcom analysis

Over time, mobile broadband is likely to become even more important, if for no other reason than that mobile broadband is sold on a per-device, nearly a per-user basis, while fixed broadband is sold per household.

Global Telecom and CAPEX Forecast

January 1, 2012

Global telecom capital investment dipped in the wake of the 2008 Great Recession, as you might expect. But what of the longer-term trend? Some believe telecom capex, on a global basis, will be steady and upward, reflecting growing revenue in many regions.

"The near-six percent increase in global telecom carrier capex we expect in 2011 over 2010 is due in part to AT&T’s ramping LTE deployments, HSPA+ upgrades, and investments in WiFi hotspots for traffic offload,” says Infonetics Research analyst Stéphane Téral.

This offsets Verizon Wireless' slowing mobile spending since their LTE rollout peaked earlier this year.
