World Teleport Association (WTA) has published a new report, New Markets, New Services, New Competition, addressing the changing applications, technologies and competitive dynamics of the global teleport sector. For the report, WTA surveyed senior executives of companies at the core of its membership — teleport operators delivering customized communications services in highly competitive markets using local, ground-based infrastructure. The report highlights the diversity of income sources that teleport operators currently tap with the largest portion coming from media and entertainment at 35 percent, on average. But, surprisingly, as many respondents ranked mobile telephone backhaul as a high-priority market as they did for the traditional business of television / radio contribution and distribution. Another key change in recent years is the growth of non-transmission services in the mix. More than half of operators provide their customers with systems design, engineering, and integration services, conditional access services, as well as video or audio production and post-production. Yet transmission services remain at the core of operations, with 100 percent of respondents providing satellite and 76 percent providing fiber transmission. Twenty-three percent reported that they were already deploying WiFi, WiMAX and other wireless solutions for last-mile connectivity. New Markets, New Services, New Competition is available free to WTA members from the World Teleport Association's web site. Non-members may purchase a copy of the report from the site as well.
