Mobile Accounts Outnumber Fixed Lines More than 6:1
September 15, 2013
Explaining what is going on globally, in the communications business, sometimes is a matter of nuances, and sometimes is drop dead simple.
The drop dead simple part is the role played by mobile services, which outnumbered fixed voice lines by about 4.5 to one in 2009, and now outnumber fixed connections by about six to one.
M2M and MVNOs driving US connections growth
September 1, 2013According to GSMA Intelligence research, MVNO and M2M services are playing an important role in boosting US mobile operators’ quarterly connection gains, often offsetting slowing growth in traditional mobile services.
Mobile operators in the US typically define wholesale connections as MVNO connections that they often group with M2M connections in their reporting. These metrics have historically been reported by six US operators – namely AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, Clearwire and Verizon Wireless – and in this analysis, M2M has been grouped within wholesale connection totals.
Our estimates show that the sum of MVNO and M2M connections for these six operators has increased by almost 30 million between Q2 2010 and Q2 2013 to reach a total of close to 70 million.
