DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/69bf60/predictions_for_20) has announced the addition of the "Predictions for 2011: Emerging Markets" report to their offering.

Introduction

The emerging markets telecoms industry had a very good year in 2010, and 2011 is set to be another positive year. However, slower mobile growth and increased competition will result in a challenging environment in 2011. The most successful operators will be those that shift from the subscriber "land grab" mentality to offer innovative services while delivering greater operational efficiencies.

Features and benefits

  • Identify the key trends in emerging markets in 2011.
  • The trends cover a wide spectrum of emerging markets telecoms issues, with a view to outlining key strategic trends in 2011.

Highlights

  • In 2011, the majority of emerging markets will experience single-digit subscriber growth as penetration continues to increase. However, a number of large markets in Africa and Asia will continue to drive growth in these regions.
