Description

This IDC study details the growing trend of wireless displacement in small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) over the forecast period from 2009 to 2013. The number of wireless-only SMBs in the United States will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 20.6% over the forecast period. This study examines the key trends that will affect the growth of wireless displacement in SMBs in the United States.

"While wireless displacement is expected to have a substantial effect on the U.S. consumer market, not to be ignored is the effect it will have in the SMB segment. Ongoing improvements in cellular networks will lead to increased business confidence, while increased cost cutting due to the recession and a growing reliance on mobile data access will further encourage the replacement of landline telephony with wireless," said Timothy Doherty, associate research analyst for Small and Medium Business Markets: Mobility, at IDC.
