Slowing revenue growth and intense competition are forcing increasing numbers of players in the global telecommunications industry to look to the world’s emerging markets as the key, not only to sustaining revenue growth, but also to long-term survival.
Strong economic growth and rising populations in the emerging markets is fuelling a rising demand for telecoms. By 2010, it is predicted that emerging markets will account for more than 2/3rds of the world’s telecom connections, and almost 90% of all growth in the world’s mobile sector, with China and India leading the way. Moreover, innovation in the world telecommunications industry is shifting away from the developed economies as emerging markets users spend increasing amounts, not only on calls, but also on digital entertainment and mobile media lifestyle services.
The FT World Telecommunications Conference has established its reputation as the must-attend event for all senior strategists and decision makers from across the telecoms industry who want to get “the big picture” from the leading economists and who want to hear the latest thinking from the big names in industry and from leading investors.
