Mobile Operators Will Continue To Struggle, ABI Says

Mobile operators will continue to struggle as average revenue per user stays in continual decline, forecast a report from ABI Research Monday. It said the machine-to-machine (M2M), also known as the Internet of Things, market will grow to $174 billion in 2019, a 200 percent growth from 2014. ABI identified six potential future growth areas for mobile operators: digital content, M2M, mobile money, big data monetization, advertising and enterprise cloud solutions. The findings are part of ABI’s mobile deployments, capital expenditures and traffic market research.
