Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has now added a new report showing that after modest growth of 1.1% last financial year, New Zealand's telecoms market is set to slow further with revenues expected to increase less than 1% for 2007-08

Authors of the report say revenue from mobiles is expected to pick up, jumping 3.2% in the coming financial year, following a paltry 0.4% lift this year. This, they note, was despite unusually high growth of 11.6% in subscribers for 2006-07. However, growth subscribers, is forecast to fall sharply next year to 2.9% and 2.3% the year after.
The report shows that while growth is expected to be flat over the next 12 months, the telecoms market is forecast to pick up in 2008-09, with market revenue anticipated to surge by 2.8 percent. This will primarily be driven by data, internet and value-added services and pay TV.
According to the authors, over time, the new environment such as value-added infrastructure opportunities such as data centres, content hosting and network management, will open up lots of new opportunities. But equally a range of innovative customer services can be built on the new wholesale products, and open networks will create a new environment for digital media, e-health, tele-education and smart grid applications.
In addition, the authors note that the introduction of ADSL2+ services will increasingly deliver, in time, VoIP and IPTV and a host of other digital media services. When Telecom’s next-generation network is completed by 2012, the carrier is expected to deliver a range of services including VoIP, video calling, converged fixed-mobile offerings, interactive television and Video on Demand.
