The telecom industry has grown and evolved at an incredible pace for the last 20 years, dramatically changing the way people communicate and transforming everyday life along the way. Mobile phone penetration is approaching 50% globally, with some mature markets surpassing 100% penetration. Mobile broadband subscribership has topped 200 million worldwide. And the rollout of 3G networks in emerging markets means there is the potential for mobile broadband subscribers to outnumber wireline broadband subscribers within the next decade.
This rapid growth has created a dynamic and competitive industry climate with continually evolving technology and staggering financial stakes. The shift of revenue from fixed to mobile and from voice to data is accelerating. Data and media are being untethered from specific devices or networks. Powerful new mobile devices deliver a combination of functions previously available only from multiple tools.
This is an exciting - and demanding - time to be a device manufacturer, a service provider, or an application developer. Innovation is vibrant and opportunities abound. Competition, however, is ferocious and leaves no room for poor decisions.
