This report takes stock of the current state of enterprise mobile voice and data services. By conducting a detailed analysis of the catalogue of business services marketed by eleven European operators in the five largest European countries, it picks out the underlying market trends in network strategy: 3G+, Wi-Fi, handsets, wVoIP… and range of services: segmentation, content, formats, billing modes... Based on information gathered from a survey conducted in France, it then presents a number of indicators on the integration of mobile in business (take-up, consumption, budgets, planning, etc.). Lastly, by cross-checking the information produced from this analysis with supply and demand, the report offers a current and medium-term assessment of the enterprise mobile services markets. |

FTTx subscriber numbers are rising swiftly despite the economic downturn, and are likely to continue to do so at an ever greater pace between now and 2014 as incumbent carriers and public authorities have become very clearly involved. But there are still a great many questions that need to be answered over the rate of deployment, technical developments and the business models governing the new applications that superfast broadband will enable. |

This report provides an overview of the geospatial internet market, commonly referred to as the geoweb. After providing a definition of the geoweb, along with an examination of its applications, the report delivers an in-depth analysis of the value chain for online mapping services. It describes the main applications emerging around the geoweb, and the strategies of the market players, both internet giants and more specialised niche players. And, finally, it examines the possible means of monetising these services and analyses the development outlook for the geoweb. |

This IDATE report explores the innovations being brought to the service bundles marketed by telecom operators: incumbent carriers, cablecos, ISPs and mobile operators. It will examine the most innovative bundles – those that combine several components of the quadruple play, those built around a core service such as TV, internet access or mobile calling, or those where innovation lies chiefly in the area of pricing. |

Spurred in large part by the growing ubiquity of broadband, innovation on the internet has never been healthier. The online giants (Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, eBay…) naturally top the ranks for the most popular flagship services, and are developing aggregation strategies for new high-potential services (blogging, VoIP, video, mobile, etc.). Technological innovation (new products and services) is at the very heart of the internet giants’ strategies – all locked in a battle for audience, which has led to the launch of a host of new services, to increasingly broad (sometimes too broad!) diversification and to a very active partnership and acquisitions policy. |

Increasingly, the Internet Protocol is being used to distribute television services. But the protocol, which has become common to a wide array of fixed and mobile networks, offers myriad scenarios and options for implementation. This shift favours the emergence of new entrants, in particular telecom network operators, service providers and aggregators. This study has two objectives: on the one hand, to provide a frame of reference enabling a more focused appreciation of the changes and challenges associated with turning to IP for video distribution; on the other hand, to gain a sense of what the market for video over IP will look like in the near future with regard to services, players and systems. |

Though still young, the location-based services (LBS) market is increasingly successful, driven largely by navigation applications and equipment. The range of services available is beginning to grow and navigation is being paired with local searches. While LBS market players must promote their products and services, they are still often confronted with the fragility of their business models and they must face market consolidation. In the longer term, the arrival on the market of Europe’s Galileo system should help improve performance and services, without upsetting the structure of the market. |

This report provides a complete analysis of the LTE (Long Term Evolution) perspective as the next step towards 4G and real mobile broadband networks. It presents an in-depth analysis of LTE deployment strategies through the elaboration of an original cost model.
The model is based on individual market contexts and operators' situations regarding legacy infrastructure, spectrum licences awards, the availability of devices and the demand for data services.
Resting on thorough market research, this study presents roadmap scenarios and forecasts up to 2015. It also assesses the impact of LTE take-up on the overall mobile ecosystem as we observe the strengthening of current trends towards fixed-mobile convergence and network sharing, a new wave of consolidation in mobile markets and LTE driven global partnerships. |
