Trends for 2011: Telco Operations
Introduction
This report looks at the trends in telco operations that Ovum expects to occur during 2011, taking into account the economic constraints and competitive market conditions that telcos are facing.
Features and benefits
The knock-on effect from cuts to EU spending could make it difficult for many telcos, with reduced government telecoms budgets and consumer spending hitting telco's top lines at a time when they are struggling to achieve growth.Despite this uncertain outlook, we expect telco investment to increase in the short term, fuelled by the need to invest in infrastructure to stay ahead of the competition and to drive growth from potential new sources of revenue.
