Sydney, 4th December 2006 – Australia’s leading telecommunications research and analysis firm Telsyte today issued a new report outlining its outlook for the Australian telecommunications market in 2007, with an emphasis on the business telecommunications segment.
Warren Chaisatien, Telsyte Managing Director, observed that against the backdrop of continued commoditisation of legacy services, extreme competition and saturation in traditional product segments, convergence remains the industry’s buzzword. Broadband and mobile continue to be the industry’s growth powerhouses, with sales and marketing efforts shifting towards a customer-centric, technology-agnostic model. “Nonetheless, we remain many years away from a truly converged world portrayed by industry players,” said Mr Chaisatien.
Telsyte’s outlook for 2007 includes:
Overall telecom market outlook
q Convergence to lead to the consolidation of second-tier carriers
q Mobile voice revenue to start falling as penetration exceeds 100%
q WiMAX to fight back after HSDPA levelled playing field
q IPTV and rich content ready to roll as ADSL2+ becomes ubiquitous
SME telecom market outlook
q Increased importance of telephony channels as the market moves from a technology to customer service war
q Fixed voice service struggling to remain relevant through renewed pricing models
Enterprise telecom market outlook
q As business mobility enters a new phase, SOA and SIP are the name of the game
q Business fixed-mobile convergence offerings becoming a reality
IP Telephony growth to take a breather before Unified Communications kicks in
