Though the market for telecommunication services has already reached a mature stage, other services still offer significant growth opportunities. Fixed telephony (local and international long-distance businesses), mobile voice, fixed broadband technologies (e.g., ADSL and cable modem), pay TV technologies (e.g., cable TV) and data communication technologies (e.g., private lines, circuits, and international data) are likely to see their revenue growth rate stagnate or decline during the forecast period. Telecommunication service providers should not only focus on segments that present growth opportunities—mobile data or technologies, such as FTTH, DTH, IPTV, dedicated IP, MPLS, VSAT, or metro Ethernet—but also look at positioning themselves as more than mere connectivity providers, as connectivity is increasingly commoditized and pressures on prices and margins mount. To distinguish their products and offer value-added services beyond connectivity, telcos need to rethink their organizational structure and the portfolio they offer. In addition, they will need to define roadmaps for digital transformation and innovation strategies that will reinvent business operations and enable new service models. Self-service, agile IT, and vertical solutions are some of transformative services that service providers could offer. To accelerate growth, service providers should begin working alongside ecosystem partners and start-ups to cater to new end-user requirements.
