Vodafone: Out of Many, One

The future of the telecommunication industry is an exciting future. No longer can these companies depend on telephone service plans to maintain profit. Each company needs to find other avenues, packages and services that can be sold to existing customers while attracting new customers. The companies

The market covered in the telecom industry are mobile phone, fixed line, broadband, internet etc. by the above figure we can say that the growth rate of telecom industry is positive 33 % from 2006- 2013. And future it will be increase more because it’s now leading industry in the world.

Through expansion, technological improvements and more investment leading to continuous network and product upgrade, should lead Verizon to better compete in international services. With emerging competition from countries like China, it is a matter of survival to act or not.

In 2005 Saudi Arabia became a member of WTO and opened up the Saudi Telecommunications market to foreign competitors. The Saudi Arabian Telecommunication market has become increasingly competitive. In addition to competing on prices all the major competitors are striving to offer differentiated products and services aimed at increasing their market shares. The competition is apparent in the decline in STC’s income despite higher revenues.

The Verizon Wireless brand remains successful despite increasing competition in the telecommunications industry. After breaking away from Bell Atlantic (AT&T) in 2000, Verizon made advancements toward connection speed and coverage. Verizon was the first to employ 3G network in 2002, and repeated again in 2010 when it introduced 4G LTE. Since 2000, Verizon has spent over $80 billion in technology innovation which allows it to provide top coverage amongst competitors and develop its network (About Verizon Wireless).

The telecommunication industry that AT&T essentially created has undergone radical advancements, particularly within the last decade. According to the IBM Institute for Business Value, approximately 15% of the world’s population had access to a telephone in 1999 but by 2009, 70% of the world’s population had mobile phone subscriptions (Nelson & van den Dam, 2010). Given the extraordinary explosion of mobile computing and wireless communications, continued advancements within the global telecommunication industry are certain. A number of trends drive this evolution including the advancement of devices and network access technology, changes

This course provides an overview of the telecommunications industry with focus on areas such as overview of the industry, technologies, policy,

In its 2012 annual report the company states “innovation in networks is the foundation for growth across the whole industry.” Therefore, Verizon has not only developed strong partnerships aimed at enhancing services; the company has also expanded into the digital healthcare industry, reduced reliance on energy usage, and will continue to expand vertically to other industries where their technologies can influence social change.

Verizon Communications is not well placed against its competitors like AT&T who offer services using technologies like TDMA (time division multiple access) (production).

After the invention of phone calls, the Bell Telephone, and later AT&T, became an innovator of telecommunication industry in the United States. It began to spread throughout the towns, then to the country, then to the world. But since it owned all of the infrastructure, other companies couldn’t step into the industry of telecommunication. Therefore, United States Government decided to divide the company into regional telephone companies: Ameritech, Bell Atlantic, BellSouth, NYNEX, Pacific Telesis, Southwestern Bell, and US West. Divesting of AT&T actually resulted in a spurred growth and innovation. Due to having competitors and challengers, our telecommunication industry has grown enormously, offering us more and more of new technologies.

     In today’s telecommunication market there is a lot of competition by industry giants such as Sprint,

At Verizon Wireless, the organizational operations play a central part in the company's attainment of its overall objectives as they are perceived as the practical path to the company's goals. At the telecommunications company, the more crucial operations are represented by the development of new technology and its integration with the already existent systems, in order to ensure sustained functionality and continuous

The business case presented focuses on insatiable demand amongst a growing population for a service built on dilapidated, poorly maintained infrastructure, against a backdrop of government deregulation in the telecoms sector. As of 1992, there were a mere 78k telephone lines for the 27m people living in 4.7m households (a population set to double over the coming 24 years), with users suffering success rates of just 25%. Demand was forecast to grow to 500k subscribers by 1996. The recent deregulation of the telecoms sector (via the break-up of TPTC into TPC and TTCL) and the formation of a regulator (TCC) had

The Vodafone case study has given us a good overall view of the company and shown the companies good and bad points, whilst showing the mobile phone business as a whole and explaining the ups and downs of the industry.

Finnish telephone network was never monopolized by the state, granting many licenses for telephone operations to prevent the Russia to seize its national telephone system when Finland was Russian Grand Duchy. After independence, Finland’s attempts to nationalize poorly performing telecom failed due to political resistance, but could stimulate private operators to upgrade their technology to prevent their nationalization. The legacy of communication business left a lot of competitive companies in the sector for development. However despite all the reasons mentioned above, emerging demand for such technology from global market would be the greatest reason why mobile communication industry emerged in Finland and made Finland a world-leading nation in mobile communication.
