The market research report “Mergers and Competitions Spellbinding UK's Telecom Sector - An Industry Analysis (2005-2009)” studies the vast and dynamic telecommunication sector in UK. The current trends are examined in detail and future forecasts are made while keeping track of the current M&A’s (Mergers & Acquisitions) that have driven up the telecom stocks.
Leading edge technology and liberal telecom solutions have caught the eye of various telecommunication manufacturers, service providers, and operators. The Government opened the market to competition two decades back and since then, the subscribers have been moving away from BT (British Telecommunications) to other fixed and mobile operators.
The Communication Act (2003) brought about a complete deregulation where the license-based system has been replaced by the “general conditions of entitlement” according to which the operators are supposed comply to benefit the market as well as the investors.
The market research report focuses on the data, market size, trends, industry development, and the major company profiles. It also gives a five-year forecast that covers both the market and the telecom industry in UK as a whole. The end-user market revenue has been showing a steady increase largely dominated by the consumer equipment goods. It was worth £34.6bn in year ending March 2004. In spite of fierce price competition and regulations, the market has grown steadily in the last five years (2000 to 2004).
The report also covers the market for end-user spending on telecommunications services. The services are broadly divided into three revenue sectors: fixed-line revenue (generated from calls to fixed-line handsets and exchange lines), cellular revenue (mobile phone usage), and other revenue (Internet broadband, and business data services). The growth of the telecom sector has been in tandem with the increase in the revenue from cellular services, short messaging services, Internet, and broadband services.
