Infonetics Research: Telecom carriers entering global economic crisis on solid ground; tough road ahead
CAMPBELL, CA–(Marketwire - November 20, 2008) - Communications market research firm Infonetics Research reports that
worldwide service provider capex (capital expenditures) are on track to
reach $275 billion in 2008, up 10.5% from the previous year. Much of the
growth is due to currency appreciation against the US dollar, which peaked
in July 2008.
Infonetics’ report, Service
Provider Capex, Opex, ARPU, and Subscribers, updated this week to
reflect world events, projects a 2% downturn in worldwide carrier capex in
2009, led by big cuts by Asia Pacific service providers, followed by a flat
2010 and a slow return to growth in 2011 with the start of a new investment
cycle.
