Roaming Opportunity for Global Voice and Data - Informa
Informa and Angela Stainthorpe have come out with a promising outlook on the market growth of roaming: “The potential for the roaming market is significant, with 600 million people using roaming services by 2013 – 64% more than in 2008” (Angela Stainthorpe, Research Analyst and author of the Global Roaming Report (3rd Edition), Informa Telecoms & Media©).
The number of people using their mobile phone whilst abroad will grow over 50% between 2008 and 2013, voice roaming traffic will double over the period and data roaming traffic will increase to many times its 2008 level. These figures represent a great opportunity to build mobile telecommunications into a truly global service, and to reap the rewards in subscriber reach and revenue generation.
This remarkable growth brings up many questions as to how these subscribers will roam, who will collect revenue, and will these charges be at similar levels to today or lower/higher? Will frequent travelers continue to use multiple SIM cards, and, if not, how will operators manage multiple regional identities? What will be the future of nontraditional mobile service providers focused on roaming, of mobile network alliances, and of regulation?
