Spectrum refarming will be a key enabler of rural mobile broadband coverage
Refarming 2G spectrum will be key to enabling mobile broadband coverage outside major population centres, according to Analysys Mason. Liberalising the usage of the 850/900MHz frequency bands, in which 2G gsm/CDMA services currently operate, to allow operators to evolve their networks in these bands to newer technologies such as UMTS/HSPA is a significant emerging trend, which will extend the reach of 3G services, such as mobile broadband, to suburban/rural areas not covered by operators' existing 2100MHz 3G networks. more

Global Mobile Market to Exceed US$900 Billion in 2008
A report from IDATE says that the world telecom services market is estimated at US$1,365 billion in 2008 - a 4.2% increase over the year before - and is expected to be worth over US$1,416 billion in 2009. With a total turnover estimated at US$742.2 billion in 2008, mobile services account for 54% of the telecom services market and single handedly deliver all of the sector's growth. But the annual growth rate has dropped from more than 12% in 2007 to 8% in 2008. more
