The explosive growth of over-the-top (OTT) services has disrupted the telecommunications market by boosting competition and by creating a phenomenal traffic load on the transport pipes of ISPs. Network providers are using traffic differentiation to manage the increased volume and distribute the cost of additional capacity, which has raised equal-access concerns among online content and service providers and consumers. As many governments around the world strive to address the issue, regulators are grappling with how to maintain Internet equality without discouraging sector growth.

Globally, operators are striving to develop new revenue streams, increase margins and ARPS, retain existing customers and reduce churn. Multiplay bundle services, especially quadruple-play combining traditional telecom services such as fixed voice, fixed broadband, pay-TV and mobile services, is one of the key strategies being adopted by operators in order to reach those goals. Countries in emerging regions are still highly focused on attracting customers to multiplay bundles through aggressive pricing discounts. On the other hand, countries in developed regions such as North America, Western Europe and developed APAC, are focusing on developing value-added services that can integrate with their multiplay offers aiming to provide unique experiences to customers. Value-added services include traditional OTT-video functionalities such as multiscreen, catch-up TV, video-on-demand (VoD), and emerging services such as smart living and connected-home solutions.

Respondents feel that the overall business confidence index for H2 2015 (October 2015-March 2016) has remained constant compared to H1 2015 (January 2015-June 2015), which indicates that the telecom industry is recovering from the ongoing global uncertainties. Moreover, an increasing number of respondents state that the current economic conditions are stable and the future outlook remains positive in anticipation of current trends such as increased consumption for video and on-demand TV on smart phone and mobile phone devices, growing demand for mobile payments, deployment of wireless networks, rising demand for security applications for smart phones, and employing an Internet of Things (IoT) for effective business monitoring and real time problem solving. Over the next six months the industry will increase its expenditure towards new product development and capital infrastructure.

Although many operators are still ramping their 4G LTE deployments, 5G has become a major topic of conversation and planning for cellular operators, with a broad expectation of initial standards and product availability in the 2020 timeframe. As 5G standardization progresses, initial 5G definitions have centered on use cases and market requirements that 5G networks will support. Unlike previous wireless technology generations that focused largely on delivering more data, 5G requirements include: low latencies, energy efficiency, spectrum flexibility, high reliability and massive user scale. The market adoption for 5G services is being driven by various industry associations having focus on specific regions along with increasing collaboration amongst telcos and vendors.
