Abstract
This IDC study examines the problem of climate change and global warming from
an ICT perspective with a focus on telecom service providers.
Global warming has emerged as the greatest issue facing humankind. "Green is
not only good for the environment and business, but is emerging as a major
force for competitive advantage in the telecom sector as in other economic
sectors," states Lawrence Surtees, vice president of Communications Research
and principal analyst at IDC Canada Ltd. of Toronto.
The findings from IDC' s analysis underscore the major role that telecom service
providers can play in mitigating environmental degradation. Telecommunication
service providers have a major role to play in the greening of ICT by both
reducing their own greenhouse gas emissions and encouraging the use of services
that enable businesses and consumers to reduce their own carbon footprints.
