| Voice over WiMAX: The Key to Wireless
Broadband Profitability? |
 |
WiMAX has the potential to transform
broadband access markets, worldwide. As an alternative broadband technology,
WiMAX can compete with DSL and cable-modem services without the need
for heavy regulation. Yet, the market success of WiMAX is far from
certain. Increased broadband competition, price compression and high
subscriber acquisition costs threaten to drive margins even lower.
Voice over WiMAX may be the key to broadband wireless profitability.
By 2009, In-Stat forecasts there will be 4.4 million VoWiMAX subscribers,
worldwide.
This report investigates the realistic market opportunities
for WiMAX in metropolitan, rural, emerging country and least developed
country markets. The business case for data-only and bundled voice/data
services is examined. Multi-year forecasts for global broadband subscribers,
WiMAX and VoWiMAX, by geographic region, are presented.
