 | continuing buildout [especially in developing countries] Sep 24, 2006 |
This is a global look at how various infrastructures might be needed to change, to meet needs in 2030. One major area is telecom. Even in developed countries, extensive buildout is still occurring. Some trends include WiFi hotspots continuing to proliferate. Perhaps other technologies might supplant this. Nevertheless, there is clearly an unfilled need for more wireless access, at affordable rates.
Another telecom aspect is the usage of long distance fiber. Currently, there is still an overinvestment in the US, and part of Europe, as part of the legacy from the dot com and telecom craze of the 90s. But the anticipation is that new usages will ultimately fill this fiber.
The needs of the developing world also get attention. Here, fiber and wireless are considered to be very strong growth areas. Indeed, the book projects that by 2030, global subscribers from all nations to mobile and fixed telecoms will be 6.5 billion, from a current estimate of 3.1 billion in 2005.
