World Telecommunications Outlook

-

In 2013, the explosion of data traffic will continue and will stress telecommunications infrastructure.
Voice is no longer the shaping need in the world of telecommunications. It is all about data and digitization! In 2013, we are moving from a voice centric to a data centric world – a paradigm shift!
All players in the telecommunications sector are challenged to adopt to the new reality. But, also new
opportunities open up for all players to benefit from the data explosion.
Telco operators can benefit from the need for data services by leveraging their network capabilities – they will …
– Reduce traffic growth by using the right technologies
– Lower the data transportation costs by using LTE and other technologies
– Enhance the revenues by de-commoditization of connectivity
… and all this will create a more profitable commercial model for telecommunications operators
In the device space we will see that the Windows platform will regain space as a result of the digitization of
companies
Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturers will segment even stronger: only three players will be able to
drive innovation further
