At the end of 2008, there should be 26 million mobile broadband users in Europe. Despite concern about the economy, forecasters predict they will have 36 million by the end of 2009. This kind of growth isn’t uncommon for technology like mobile broadband. It figures to grow rapidly for a few years as more people adopt it. Then, like mobile phone growth, it should level off. For now, though, we’re primed for some big growth. Some big ideas could make that even larger.
Paolo Pescatore, analyst at CCS Insight, a market research company, has some insight as to how mobile broadband could continue to grow.
“Many mobile operators also have fixed-line assets, so they are very much in a position to package multiple access technologies and compete quite aggressively,” said Pescatore.
Packages certainly could be a key to growth, especially in America. Communications companies could use their spectrum holdings to create package deals that could save consumers money in the end. That’s what it’s going to take for this level of growth in the U.S.
