Communications infrastructure is an important element of an effective functioning economy. As the communications’ sector itself is subject to continual change, driven by technology, social trends, financial market conditions and government regulation, staying up to date is a challenge.
Whether considering fixed, mobile, satellite or broadband telephony, challenges and opportunities abound. Traditional revenues are under pressure, margins are declining and consumer demand for new content and innovative services continues to rise.
The digital revolution is having an equally dramatic effect on media businesses. Wireless distribution, on-demand, limitless storage and advanced consumer electronic devices are making media content and services ever present and always available. Consumers demand access to media where and when they want it and for a reasonable fee - or zero cost.
