This report provides an overview of the latest trends in the emerging Femtocell market – Eur 875 million in revenues for Service Providers by 2013 - and examines how mass market deployment levels will be reached and what hurdles must first be overcome. It provides an analysis on roll out stra- tegies, Femtocell stan- dards, network connection methods and the scope for reduced operator costs and increased revenues. |

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. |

For a greenfield FTTH rollout, civil engineering is by far the largest cost item. This report is thus devoted to exploring solutions that can help bring down these necessary civil engineering expenses. |
|
 |
Starting with a model of the different expense and income items, and investment spending in particular, this report measures the sensitivity of a number of FTTx network rollout variables: population density, technical architecture, penetration rate, ARPU… with the measurements themselves segmented by type of operator (incumbent carrier, alternative operator, new entrant). |
|
 |
This report examines the different technologies, both current and future, employed in FTTH or FTTB rollouts, including PON and Ethernet networks, as well as the latest developments in copper technologies (notably DSM). The topic of outfitting homes with cable is also addressed. And, finally, the report provides exclusive insights from leading industry players into the reasons behind their technological choices. |

Ecology represents an important opportunity for the telecoms industry. Telecoms have the potential to replace carbon generating activities, optimize business processes to reduce emissions in other industries and enable the social changes that lead to a low-carbon world.
This report provides an in-depth analysis of the environmental impact of telecoms segment by segment & forecasts up to 2015. |

One thing is clear: Internet video will continue to expand and now constitutes a path for development and diversification for TV industry players. Timeshifted viewing is still only nascent and a great many players from inside and outside the television industry are gambling on a position in this market. After the first trials and rollouts, we have reached a consolidation phase where the issue of turning a profit is being raised. Up until now, only the sector’s leaders appeared capable of achieving a positive revenue/cost differential with their services (excluding committed costs). |

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. |

This market reports provides an inventory of the main FTTH rollouts initiated by local authorities in Asia, the United States and Europe.
It examines the ways in which local authorities can intervene in the process and the different business and legal models that have been implemented, then lays out the advantages and risks for local authorities involved in deploying Ultra Broadband infrastructure. |

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. |

Telecommunications equipment suppliers and operators see in mobile broadband the growth driver that is indispensable for their expansion. But implementing data services on mobile networks poses a series of both technical and economic problems for players in the ecosystem. In this study, we will analyse the issues in mobile broadband for these players, notably with services aimed at moving fixed Internet into a mobile environment. |

Today, network sharing and outsourcing are not confined to challengers in the mobile market anymore but have become widely adopted among all kinds of mobile operators. This report presents different flavours of outsourcing and sharing and what drives mobile operators to do so. The analysis also sheds light on the long term impact on the industry, including equipment vendors. |

There is a flurry of innovations in the pricing strategies of the mobile phone market, in particular the pricing schemes for the three most commonly used services: voice calls, SMS and data transmission. This IDATE report explains and reviews in detail the tariffs on offer in the consumer sector from mobile network operators, focusing primarily on Europe (France, Germany, Italy and the UK), the United States, Mexico, and Japan. |

The Mobile TV market is a myriad of consolidation, and solution vendors are running hard to adapt. Their services can be based on linear TV channels, on-demand contents or rich media applications. The delivery vector could be existing cellular mobile networks, dedicated broadcast solutions or alternative provisioning, notably through open systems. And they have to deal with a variety of standards and formats. |

For handset players, the growing portion of wireless connectivity modules embedded in handsets constitutes the first step to enter the wireless ecosystem of opportunities. Today as more data transit through mobile phones, development of wireless ecosystems from WLAN to WPAN where information is transmitted thanks to short range technologies (Bluetooth, UWB, Zigbee, NFC) could greatly impact the historic use of operators network as primary data transmitter but also represent a real opportunity to diversify their business. |

Building a more and more intelligent network has been a long-term goal. But what does ‘intelligent’ mean? As a term, it is easily misinterpreted and seen as a fuzzy notion. Opposed to a ‘dumb’ network on which packets are transported to their destinations without any questions, an intelligent network has the ability to monitor network behaviour along with end-user experience. It is the in-depth data made available by Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) that makes the network more intelligent, thus adding some smarts into a network infrastructure. |

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. |

The sustained growth in Internet traffic and its expansion over the next few years could result in saturation of the infrastructure. Faced with such a prospect, how can the players involved plan for sharing the required investments and, more importantly, how can operators position themselves to capture the value associated with distributed content. |
