Abstract
A complete region by region analysis of non-voice mobile services and revenues.
In 2007, operators worldwide generated more than USD 800 billion in mobile
revenues. This is expected to reach USD 1,094.9 billion by year-end 2012,
growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 6.4
percent. The USD 1- trillion mark is expected to be reached by year-end 2011.
Although a rapidly growing subscriber base has led to growth in revenue for
the mobile industry, operator margins have shrunk over the years. Operators
worldwide, faced with declining average revenue per user (ARPU) due to falling
voice tariffs, are now looking at ways to counter smaller margins by building
alternative revenue streams through mobile data services. Voice services still
make up the lion' s share of mobile services revenues; in 2007, voice services
accounted for approximately 81 percent of operators' total mobile service
revenues worldwide. However, with an ever increasing focus on non-voice mobile
services, this figure is forecast to decline to a little over 74 percent by
year-end 2012. This report describes the status of mobile data services in
each major geographical region.
The key features of this report include the following:
