Strategy Analytics Mobile Revenue Growth Chart
Strategy Analytics have predicted that world mobile service revenue will grow to just over one trillion $US by 2015.
Following that growing 4G revenues will only just offset falling 2G and 3G revenues and that by 2019 growth will have stalled for the first time in mobile history.
All this at a time when it is widely predicted that mobile data traffic is going to explode.
This will set challenges for MNO’s who will need to fund the network capacity and in many places, including Australia, subsidise the cost of the ever more capable devices demanded by their customers.
