Research and Markets: North America Telecoms Market: Trends and Forecasts 2014-2019 - A 5-year Forecast of 100+ Mobile and Fixed Key Performance Indicators

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jw2fgk/north_america) has announced the addition of the "North America Telecoms Market: Trends and Forecasts 2014-2019 " report to their offering.

ARPU is still increasing in both Canada and the USA because of a fast migration of mobile contract users to smartphones and LTE (News - Alert), and an upgrade of fixed broadband users to higher speeds. However, we expect that once most mobile customers have migrated to LTE smartphones (by the end of 2015), mobile ARPU will start to decline in both countries because price competition will likely increase. The impact of OTT services (cannibalisation of voice and messaging operator usage) has been relatively low so far in both markets because bundles of minutes and SMS are common. However, we expect a greater impact in the next few years, and voice traffic will start t decline in 2017.

The most significant M2M opportunities in the next 5 years are automotive mobile SIMs (connected cars) and smart metering fixed connections (utilities).

This report and accompanying data annex provide:

• A 5-year forecast of more than 100 mobile and fixed key performance indicators (KPIs) for the North America (NA) region as a whole and for Canada and the USA
• An in-depth analysis of the trends, drivers and well-documented forecast assumptions for each type of mobile and fixed service, and for Canada and the USA
