Mobile overhaul revenues grew by just 3 percentage in Q1 2009, down from 8 percentage a class earlier, according to, “Wireless Operator Performance Benchmarking, Q1 2009,” a report from the Strategy Analytics Wireless Network Strategies overhaul. Nearly 40 percent of all mobile operators power saw revenues fall in Q1 2009, compared to just 16 percent in the same position in Q1 2008.

This inquiry, which tracks the operational and financial execution of the over 175 mobile operators who account for 80 percent of global subscribers, found that vanishing gross growth was not just a problem in mature, saturated markets. One-stern of the operators in emerging markets also power saw overhaul revenues capitulation in Q1 2009.

“Europe is eyesight the greatest assiduity of operators losing revenues at present,” comments Phil Kendall, Director, Wireless Network Strategies. “This used to just be an issue for the more saturated, Western half, but has now extended to Central and Eastern European Union, too.”

However, in the Asia-Pacific Ocean, we are now seeing countries like Bangladesh, Republic of Indonesia and Thailand become bully environments for all players.”
