Investing in the Communications Revolution -
Global Telecoms
The most remarkable aspect of this report is that the views of Professor Carlota
Perez as expressed here were written well before the global financial crisis. This
makes this report all the more poignant. At the same time it validates that telecoms
have a key role to play in the economic revival. However, this will need to be done
in a totally new framework in order to get us through the transition period of the
communications revolutions. We are now moving towards what she calls the mass
deployment phase, which will be accompanied by unprecedented social and economic
benefits – not just for individual nations but, if we do it right, for the global
community also.
Global Report - VoIP - Overview & Statistics
Improved technology solutions have led to a robust VoIP market in 2008. Worldwide
subscribers have increased considerably in the past couple of years and substantial
growth is predicted ahead – however security concerns still need to be resolved.
Japan, China and the USA continue to be some of the world’s hottest markets for
IP telephony. Over the last two years, Europe has also become a prime innovator
in VoIP services, whether stand-alone, bundled as a triple play offer, or through
fixed-mobile convergence packages.
Digital Media - IPTV
Europe and Asia have had the most dynamic IPTV markets over the past few years,
but recently in the USA the telcos’ IPTV plans, on the back of their fibre deployments,
have started to gather significant momentum. However on the whole, around the world,
customers continue to be more interested in the web based broadband video
applications rather than IP based TV.
