GSMA’s prediction for world mobile revenue (below) is for very slow growth going forward to 2025.
With relatively small increases in services in the developed world increases in revenue will likely come from IoT and new services enable by 5G. These will be offset by increased competition driving prices down as consumers chase better deals on what has become a largely commoditised data access service. After years of low low inflation and interest rates the recent spikes in inflation and the cost of everything are likely to drive some previously unpredicted growth in revenue.
