Business and Finance: New Markets Vertically Challenged

An article about Arthur D. Little’s report: ‘Telecom Operators: Let’s Face It’ – the 11th edition of the annual report from Arthur D. Little and equity broker Exane BNP Paribas. The report focuses on the move to all-IP and the impact on European Operators as it creates opportunities for telcos in adjacent markets such as automotive, energy and utilities and financial services. The article states that there is doubt over whether the opportunities will be enough to stem the decline in core revenue and some say telcos will have to take a long-term view, dig deeper into adjacent markets and consider making acquisitions. “When not only everyone, but also everything is connected, surely telecoms should benefit,” notes the Arthur D. Little report.
