Mobile Overtakes Land Lines
In their annual publication, Trends in Telecommunication Reform, International Telecommunication Union will conclude following: "Mobile phones are expected to generate greater revenue this year than traditional land lines."
The trend is not as strong in developed countries, since the historical investment for land lines has been sizeable, therefore the market situation is also more challenging for mobile devices. Only in two developed countries the situation is such that mobile revenue exceeds land line revenue. These countries are Finland and Portugal.
However, in developing countries, the existing land line networks are very scarce and many nations have jumped straight to the mobile technology, as it is cheaper and faster to install. It is because of these poor countries that mobile revenue overtakes the land line revenue.
Situation will be emphasized as mobile content becomes more developed. For now, much of mobile revenue comes from speech and not from data services. Now go and develop those games and other mobile services.
