While the telecommunications industry is mired in its worst
downturn ever, metrics for many telecommunications services-including
local, long distance, Internet, and wireless services-continue to show
growth, says a new report from Insight Research. According to the
research study, falling carrier revenue is forcing industry-wide
consolidation. Nevertheless, the excess capacity that drove down prices
will eventually be consumed, setting up the preconditions for investment
in the industry to resume.
According to The
Telecommunications Industry & Profitability: A Survival Guide
2002-2007, increasing usage patterns combined with declining
revenue are classic signs of over investment, but not of a maturing
industry. As has been the case in other industries, the overabundance of
network capacity created during the telecommunications boom of the late
1990s will gradually be absorbed, and prices will eventually
stabilize.
"The number of
local broadband subscribers is increasing, wireless companies are still
adding new customers, and ISP revenue is growing. If there is a weak spot,
it is in the long distance segment," says Insight president Robert
Rosenberg. "These patterns-growing usage and market price
instability-can be found in a growth industry. Insight foresees a return
to more rational, if conservative, growth over the forecast period,"
concluded Rosenberg.
