The UK telecommunications market generated more than £32bn ($59bn) in revenue in 2008. This is expected to continue growing at a 0.4% CAGR in local currency terms. Since the introduction of LLU in 2005, broadband Internet revenue has grown at a CAGR of 9% through 2009. Fixed-line broadband services are expected to slow to a CAGR of 3.9% for the next five years, reaching £4.8bn ($8.2bn) in 2014.
Mobile broadband’s popularity and greater coverage will increase mobile data revenue from £6.8bn ($9.9bn) to £9.1bn ($15.5bn) over the forecast period. The refarming of 900MHz spectrum for UMTS services will likely see more people using mobile broadband service as their primary Internet connection.
VoIP revenue is expected to more than double in size from an estimated £467m ($679m) in 2009 to £914m ($1.6bn) in 2014. However, problems of call quality and general awareness remain major issues. In addition, international calling promotions from both fixed and mobile operators, such as BT and O2, have helped to erode the low-cost appeal of VoIP.
