Worldwide Telecom and Media Network Consulting and Integration Services 2009-2013 Forecast

This IDC study analyzes the total addressable market opportunities for the telecom and media network consulting and integration services market, including the full scope of wireline and wireless, voice, data and video network design, optimization, and integration services.

IDC believes the telecom and media industry will weather the current economic downturn better than most other industries. "Both wireline and wireless network traffic will continue to grow exponentially," says Wu Zhou, senior analyst of IDC's Network Lifecycle Services program, "so even while service providers allow their networks to run 'hotter' in the short run, they must continue to invest in broadband, mobile, and 'personalized' services and applications to compete and differentiate."
