According to the findings of a new report from ovum, mobile operators are comfortably and steadily beating the recession. Overall, operators maintained revenue and customer growth during the period, but the rate of growth is down. While most operators in emerging markets are yet to see any significant pressures on their performance, operators in countries such as the US and across Europe, where the recession has had dramatic impact, operators' revenues are holding out. more

Future sharing opportunities for Mobile Network Operators
Opinion by Steven Hartley, senior analyst at ovum
The notion of one network is not entirely far-fetched. After the savings of
passive sharing have been realised, where can future savngs come from? In our
forthcoming report 2020 vision for mobilewe predict that operators will seek
increasingly active forms of sharing. Sharing ever more of your infrastructure
might sound ridiculous today, but all forms of sharing sounded ridiculous ten

Opinion by Charice Wang and Raymond Yu, analysts at ovum
On Monday, the Indian government finally gave the go-ahead for mobile virtual
network operators (MVNOs) to enter the market. This follows a recommendation
back in August 2008 from India's regulator, the Telecom Regulatory Authority
of India (TRAI). The government is expected to release detailed guidelines for
MVNO entrants soon. We believe this approval will benefit both existing MNOs and
new entrants.

Opinion piece by Emeka Obiodu, senior analyst at ovum
With a mature market, declining voice revenues and now the economic
downturn, the argument for European mobile network operators (MNOs) to share
their networks has never been stronger. Although there have been several
network-sharing initiatives, what is needed is a more coherent commercial and
regulatory framework across the EU to make network sharing the norm rather than
the exception.
