A new report from Insight Research suggests that it wasn’t a capacity glut that knocked the legs out from under the telecom golden age, but was rather the inability for the industry to accommodate its business models to fit the demand for data services. Insight President Robert Rosenberg observes that although voice service providers are the primary revenue generators in the industry, he says, “we forecast that data traffic will continue to double every 12 months, despite the bumps from the current telecom recession.” The report “The 2001 Telecom Industry Review: An Anthology of Market Facts and Forecasts” reveals several long-term, high-growth market segments including VPN/IP data services, VoIP services, U.S. signaling gateway equipment, customer network management services and public wireless data network subscribers.
