Video Services Push Telco to Upgrade DSL

Dell'Oro Group announced that it forecasts revenue from build-outs of high-speed VDSL and PON networks will almost double between 2007 to 2012.

During the same timeframe, revenue from slower-speed ADSL equipment is expected to fall by more than 40 percent. The forecast includes revenues from sales of both access concentrators and customer premises equipment.

Their findings from the five-year forecast of the Access market that indicate worldwide sales of Cable, DSL, and PON equipment, will grow from $9.6 billion in 2007 to $9.7 billion in 2008 before gradually falling back to $8.9 billion in 2012.

"New revenue opportunities, primarily video services, is driving many telecom service providers in established regions to plan network upgrades to high-speed VDSL and PON technology," said Tam Dell'Oro, Founder of Dell'OroGroup.

"Manufacturers still have good opportunities to sell ADSL equipment, especially in emerging regions where subscriber growth is strongest. However, we expect that ADSL revenue will fall each year because demand from emerging regions will not be enough to offset lower demand in established regions where broadband saturation is resulting in declining subscriber additions," added Dell'Oro.

Why 2025 Will Redefine Mobile Connectivity

As international travel rebounds to pre-pandemic levels in 2025, the mobile communication roaming market is at an inflection point. Emerging technologies and changing customer preferences are challenging traditional wholesale roaming agreements between mobile network operators (MNOs). The global wholesale roaming market is projected to more than double, from $9 billion in 2024 to $20 billion by 2028. This surge will be fueled by the expanding deployment of 5G Standalone (SA) technology, which enables real-time roaming connections and activity monitoring. But beneath this headline figure lies a complex landscape of regional variations and technological mobile service disruptions. Global Mobile Roaming Market Development Western Europe dominates inbound roaming connections, largely thanks to its Roam Like at Home (RLAH) initiative, which eliminates roaming charges among member countries.  Meanwhile, the Indian Subcontinent is emerging as a growth hotspot. Between 2024 and 2029, inbou...
