Global Trend Forecast for Telecoms Cable _ Satellite - Global Thematic Research

About $386bn will be wiped off mobile operator revenues globally by 2018 as more customers use voice calls and messaging services provided for free over data networks. To stay relevant, telecom operators need to invest in emerging technology cycles such as Software Defined Networks, Big Data and the Internet of Things. Both cable and satellite operators face disruptive threats: cable from internet TV and satellite from smaller nimbler satellite operators like Google’s Skybox. Within the next year, Apple, Google and others are likely to launch a credible internet TV platform that finally shifts pay TV customers en masse from broadcast viewing to narrowcasting.

 

Inside this report we look at the operators, its predictions and indentify winners and losers.

 

Scope

This report is part of our ecosystem of thematic investment research reports, supported by our “thematic engine”.

 

About our Thematic Research Ecosystem

 

GlobalData has developed a unique thematic methodology for valuing technology, media and telecom companies based on their relative strength in the big investment themes that are impacting their industry. Whilst most investment research is underpinned by backwards looking company valuation models, GlobalData’s thematic methodology identifies which companies are best placed to succeed in a future filled with multiple disruptive threats. To do this, GlobalData tracks the performance of the top 600 technology, media and telecom stocks against the 50 most important themes driving their earnings, generating 30,000 thematic scores. The algorithms in GlobalData’s “thematic engine” help to clearly identify the winners and losers within the TMT sector. Our 600 TMT stocks are categorised into 18 sectors. Each sector scorecard has a thematic screen, a risk screen and a valuation screen. Our thematic research ecosystem has a three-tiered reporting structure: single theme, multi-theme and sector scorecard. This report is a Multi-Theme report, covering all stocks, all sectors and all themes, giving readers a strong sense of how everything fits together and how conflicting themes might interact with one another.
