Abstract
The IDC study focuses on the New Zealand wireless service provider (WSP)
market, which remains in a state of infancy, but is at a stage of potential
large-scale growth. Wireless technologies have the potential to completely
change the telco ecosystem in New Zealand and globally. However, this is still
an immature market, with many uncertainties surrounding both technologies and
business cases for these technologies. Both incumbents, Telecom and Vodafone,
have their respective 3G cellular data services in operation, recognising
wireless is the way of the future. To compete, alternative service providers
(SPs) have moved their focus towards WiMAX and WiFi services. Major
participants on this journey include Kordia, Woosh, Compass Communications,
BayCity, and CallPlus.
"New technologies have the potential to fundamentally change the fixed wireless
access (FWA) market in New Zealand. The success of WiMax in the war against
cellular technology, largely driven by forces outside the control of New
Zealand telco operators, and the ability of wireless incumbent competitors to
successfully implement WiMax will shape the future ecosystem in New Zealand,"
says Tim Shepheard, Market Analyst, Telecommunications, IDC New Zealand.
