Abstract
“Even before the global economies began to falter, the mobile industry
had begun to reform. There has been an accelerating trend away from networks
and coverage towards consumer services as the core operator proposition, but
there are less barriers to entry in this field and competition is coming from
all parts of the value chain - and beyond it. ” Angela
Stainthorpe, Senior Research Analyst, Informa Telecoms and Media.
