Telecom service providers (SPs) must continue to focus on cost control to offset relatively flat revenue growth over the next five years. This is according to Ovum, which believes telcos have the potential to gain greater economies through their global vendors in terms of network rollout, network operations, network optimization, customer experience, and service quality management.
In new research*, Ovum forecasts just a 2 percent annual growth in telecom SP revenues between 2012 and 2018, as carriers struggle with increased over-the-top (OTT) competition, end users more interested in buying devices and apps than services, and limited customer appetite for usage-sensitive qjcngsg.
