New Zealand Telecommunications Market 2008-2012 Forecast and Analysis

Description

This IDC study is the first integrated market analysis and forecast for New Zealand's telecommunications market, which is an in-depth study of the current and future opportunities and challenges facing the New Zealand market for the next five years. We evaluate in detail international trends, macro-economic factors including regulation, competition, technologies, and services. These underpin our detailed market development scenario and forecast assumptions for New Zealand's broadband, voice, and mobile markets.

"The New Zealand market is on the cusp of change. The industry to date has been marked with dissension and bitter infighting. A year of further infighting, legal and regulatory challenge, and inward focus will slow rather than speed development: the potential now is for carriers to learn from the mistakes in overseas markets and refocus back on the customer, collaborating as an industry where necessary whilst competing fiercely for the customer," says Rosalie Nelson, research manager, Telecommunications, IDC New Zealand.

"IDC is assuming steady rather than stellar competitive growth. We anticipate the emergence of new full-service competitors eroding Telecom's market share, but Telecom will continue to be the most powerful market player unless there is a truly disruptive change through acquisition or consolidation amongst the market leaders."
