Description

This IDC study forecasts enhanced calling features penetration and revenue opportunities over the next five years and identifies opportunities in bundling, product innovation, and service improvements to reinvigorate the U.S. residential enhanced calling features market. This market collects over $10 billion in revenue per year, enjoys high margins, and is strategically important for household adoption of high-end consumer communications services bundles, including wireline, wireless, data, and video services. However, as residential wireline telephone subscription rates continue to fall, the negative impact on calling features penetration rates is significant, and we expect this decline to continue in the near future. "The market for caller ID and call waiting is saturated," says Wu Zhou, IDC research analyst, Residential Telecommunications Services. "The challenge ahead for residential service providers and wireline vendors is how to capitalize on shifting trends in a lucrative but maturing market."
