Summary

Telcos are beset by a variety of direct and indirect competitors, which together are having a negative impact. The high profile, rapid growth and market capitalisations of some of the indirect competitors have led telcos to fear them greatly.

Content

This report provides an overview of the disruptive potential and impact of various competitors on wireline operators
We split these competitors into two groups:
Direct competitors players that compete directly with telcos by offering products and services that are direct substitutes for theirs
Indirect competitors players that provide products and services that are primarily in adjacent markets but have potential to substitute for telco services and/or disrupt their business models
The report is intended to offer wireline telcos (and other interested parties) insight into the potential these competitors have to take market share, or otherwise have a negative impact on the revenues and margins of wireline telcos
The report is also intended to provide a framework for determining an appropriate strategy for engaging with each of these players
