Wired Telecommunications Carriers Global Market Briefing provides strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global Wired Telecommunications Carriers.
Wired telecommunications carriers provide local and long-distance voice calling, sound and video transmission, cable TV and internet services over fixed-line networks. Companies in the wired telecommunications industry may own and maintain networks, share a network or lease a network from other companies.
Packaged Services-Wired telecommunications companies are offering additional services to their consumers instead of limiting their service offerings to fixed line and DSL internet services. Companies are shifting towards a multi-function system by adding services such as internet broadband and television satellite connection in their offering. Thus, a consumer receiving internet and voice telephony is more likely to subscribe to IPTV, video on demand and pay television services. For example, AT&T acquired DirecTV pay-tv services to increase offerings to their customers.
Upgrading Services-Companies in the wired telecommunications industry are working towards refining their services by improving broadband networks and bandwidth time and upgrading from copper wires to fiber optics. They are focused on promoting high-speed broadband to deal with the competitiveness in the market. The wired telecommunications industry is developing growing businesses such as IPTV (e-Surfing HD), IT Services and Applications and IDC wireline. IPTV is a system through which television services are delivered using the Internet protocol suite over LAN or the Internet.
