Wireless broadband services will create significant opportunities for revenue growth, according to the latest report from Analysys Mason.
Globally, 2.1 billion wireless broadband customers will generate USD784 billion in service revenue by 2015.
This revenue increase of about 2400% will be underpinned by continued developments in wireless technologies, improvements in devices and more flexible pricing options.
Developing regions will account for only 17% of wireless broadband customers at the end of 2008, but the lack of fixed-line infrastructure in these regions will bolster the growth of wireless broadband services, and developing regions will account for 57% of wireless broadband customers worldwide by the end of 2015.
Last month, Jupiter Research forecast that the number of worldwide internet users will increase 44% between 2007 and 2012, reaching 1.8 billion users (see A Quarter Of The World’s Population Will Be Online By 2012).
The Worldwide Online Population Forecast, 2007 to 2012 report predicts that by 2012, one quarter of the worldwide population will access the Internet on a regular basis.
eMarketer, meanwhile, forecast that 42.8 million Britons will go online in 2012, accounting for about 70% of the population (see 70% Of UK Will Go Online In 2012).
