IDC's annual Telecoms Trends and Expenditure in Ireland survey provides the most comprehensive view of the Irish telecoms sector available in the market. For those operating in Ireland or those wishing to break into this market, this study provides an invaluable tool for the development and implementation of strategic business plans.

The study is based on data from IDC's annual survey of the Irish ICT market in which IT executives in commercial and governmental organizations are interviewed on their views and attitudes to IT and telecommunications as well as their ICT spending intentions.

Now in its fifth year, this study offers the most comprehensive view of the Irish telecoms market.

John Gilsenan, the study's author, has specialized in the Irish ICT market for over 10 years. His unique perspective on the ICT market provides unrivalled insight into market trends.

"It is set to be yet another interesting year in the telecoms market," said Gilsenan. "In the mobile sector we see the first signs of a slowdown with more organizations expecting their mobile spend to be down this year than expect a rise. This is despite a large increase in the workforce across a range of industries. This increase in the workforce will provide a boost to the fixed-line market with more organizations expecting an increase in expenditure than expect a decrease, reversing the trend from last year."
