 Telecoms Trends
•! Fixed line usage is reducing dramatically
•! Mobile use is increasing steadily even though
penetration is already high
•! Broadband Internet deployment shows a rapid growth
trend

 The telecoms world is changing
•! What are the big changes taking place in
telecommunications?
•! Who gains more Power?
–! Mobile operators?
–! Fixed operators?
–! Network equipment manufacturers?
–! Handset manufacturers?
–! TV manufacturers?
–! Operating system software companies?
–! Application software companies?
•! What are your views?

%"
 Drivers for change
•! Liberalisation ! Competition
•! Digitalisation ! Multi-service networks
•! Technology ! Everything is possible
•! Manufacturing ! Economies of scale
•! Globalisation ! Few large players, many very small
•! Death of distance ! Distance is no longer expensive
•! Multi-mode terminals ! Users can choose networks easily
•! Costs falling faster than demand grows ! New price structures
•! Telecoms become a basic utility, not a high price service
