This market report carried out by IDATE try to answer the following question: Can network outsourcing become the norm of the industry? We believe this question falls within a much broader one on the future models of telecom operators. As carriers in advanced markets face usage, growth, globalization and regulatory challenges, they will increasingly steer away from their generalist positioning to improve their return on invested capital. |

Access to the radio spectrum is a critical requirement for all sectors using wireless technologies, such as media, mobile communications, defence and civil aviation. In the telecom sector, spectrum allocation decisions, spectrum harmonization and spectrum availability are key to both equipment vendors and operators. This year, the ITU will hold the World Radiocommunication Conference, where ITU radio regulations will be updated and the rules that will define the spectrum landscape for the years to come will be agreed on a global basis. This report looks at how the perception of radio spectrum is evolving today and which players are best placed to seize significant shares of spectrum assets. |

Femtocells have seemingly gone from cult to mainstream in the space of a year. Despite this, no femtocells have been deployed commercially and considerable hurdles must be overcome before units can be rolled out on a wide-scale basis. As such, the approach of this report is to present the views of leading experts from the vendor and operator communities, as well as a summary of the activities of all concerned in bringing femtocells to market. It is hoped that this will provide an effective overview of the market as it stands now, albeit one that is necessarily incomplete and a work in progress. |

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. |

The Italian Mobile TV market is still in its infancy, but it could represent a very interesting test bed to verify if, and under which conditions, this service can be successful in the “digital convergence” marketplace. In fact, both Mobile valueadded services and Pay TV services are expected to develop in the near future in Italy. The way in which these two segments interact and “collaborate” (or not) in
creating the converged Mobile TV market could serve as an example for communications operators in other countries which are interested in engaging in this arena. |

While the number of effective launches and announced broadcast mobile TV solutions is multiplying, great uncertainty still surrounds the business model and expectations for profitability from this type of service. Partisans of both free and feebased solutions are putting up their arguments, while each player’s role in the value chain (whether a TV channel or mobile operator, etc.) has yet to be defined. IDATE’s report studies the main models for mobile TV services, how they work, their strengths, their shortfalls and their potential for development. It then sets out the main lessons learnt from these models concerning the key factors for broadcast mobile TV’s success. And lastly, the report provides modelling for the operating accounts of major players in broadcast mobile TV, shedding light on the key variables that influence their profitability. |

The explosive growth of mobile data services will impact spectrum usage and valuation in the coming years. It will reinforce the interest of mobile operators for both lower frequency bands (such as the Digital Dividend) for the coverage of rural areas and in-building penetration and high frequency bands for capacity needs. This report focuses on three main topics: the outcome of the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-07), the digital dividend and the new frequency bands and their associated valuation. |
