| NOTAS: | "Emerging markets continue to present a considerable growth opportunity for the telecoms industry, which is struggling to overcome the challenges associated with market saturation, strong competition, the emergence of OTT players, and stringent regulatory obligations. As the strong connections growth associated with the uptake of voice and SMS services has slowed, Ovum has identified five new growth opportunities in emerging markets for telecoms, media, and technology (TMT) players. These opportunities are: next-generation broadband, content services, mobile money, mobile health, and cloud-based ICT services. Ovum expects these opportunities to drive growth across emerging markets in the coming years, with next-generation broadband alone expected to generate $193bn in new revenues by 2017." |
