Broadband, Pay-TV Drive Growth in Romania as Bundling Remains Key for Success, finds Pyramid

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, June 19 /PRNewswire/ --

Broadband and pay-TV will become the major sources of growth in the Romanian telecom market during the next five years, while bundling remains key for success as competition intensifies, according to the latest report from Pyramid Research (www.pyr.com), the telecom research arm of the Light Reading Communications Network (www.lightreading.com).

Communications Markets in Romania offers a precise, incisive profile of the converged telecommunications, media, and technology sectors in Romania based on exclusive market and economic data collected by Pyramid Research. The 30-page report provides detailed competitive analysis of both the fixed and mobile sectors, tracks the market shares of technologies and services, and monitors the introduction and spread of new technologies such as WiMax, IPTV, and VoIP. Download an excerpt of this report here: http://www.pyramidresearch.com/downloads.htm?id=18&sc=PR061809_CIRROM

By year-end, Romania is expected to become the fourth-largest CEE telecom market revenue-wise, after Russia, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Total telecom revenue is projected to grow to US$7.6 billion by 2014 at a CAGR of 4.27 percent, above the average result for the CEE region, notes Sylwia Boguszewska, Analyst at Pyramid Research and co-author of the report.

"Due to a strong uptake of fixed and mobile broadband, the mobile data market is forecast to be worth more than US$0.8 billion in 2014 -- an almost 80 percent increase in value from 2009," says Boguszewska. "Fixed broadband will continue to grow, boosted by growth in DSL and cable, at a CAGR of 4.1 percent, while mobile broadband will grow at a CAGR of 21.7 percent in the same period," she says. "IPTV is the fastest-growing segment of the pay-TV market; its market share will almost triple in the 2008 to 2014 period -- increasing from 1.0 percent in 2008 to 3.5 percent in 2014."

Most players have launched triple-play packages combining telephone, Internet, and TV services, while bundles incorporating fixed and mobile broadband are also becoming a standard. "Although Pyramid expects that triple play's share will decline to 66 percent in 2014 as households affected by the economic decline go for lower-priced bundles, bundling remains key for success," says Boguszewska. "Affordable, budget bundles are likely to attract customers hit by the economic crisis; at the same time, high speeds and rich content remain important as competition intensifies," she explains. "Mobile operators Orange and Vodafone are expected to enter the multiplay market following the anticipated LLU price drop by Romtelecom, and their entry will make fixed-mobile bundles standard and increase competition."

Communications Markets in Romania is part of Pyramid Research's Central and Eastern Europe Country Intelligence Report Series. Pyramid Research's premium Country Intelligence Reports are the industry's best available analysis on market trends, regulatory environments, and competitive dynamics for 60 countries worldwide.

UK Experts Champion Europe's Carbon Trading Model in New York, June 23-25 at SIFMA Conference

NEW YORK, June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Trayport's Elliott Piggott, managing director, and Mark Holt, head of technology, will be in New York June 23-25 to urge US adoption of European advances in carbon trading. They will be delegates to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Technology Management Conference at the New York Hilton.

Trayport, a key player in global carbon markets, is meeting with media, industry and government to provide the knowledge needed to efficiently reduce air pollution.

"Europe -- with its advanced experiences, practices and models in the carbon industry -- offers guidance that can help assure the US avoid pitfalls," says Piggott.

Trayport, a GFI Group Company , develops and deploys software used by the world's largest trading companies to efficiently trade commodities and other high-profile assets internationally (http://www.trayport.com/).

Trayport market authorities will recommend ways US policy makers can leverage the European carbon emissions trading experience in light of the Waxman-Markey Climate and Energy Bill and Obama Administration clean air initiatives. They will offer observations on lessons the EU has learned about climate control and carbon cap and trade technology, as well as market efficiency.

Emission trading in Europe is ahead of North America. Its European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS) is the largest multi-national emissions trading platform in the world and a pillar of climate policy in the (EU).

Elliott Piggott, Managing Director, will cover technology transfer from Europe to the US, focusing on benefits and knowledge gained in Europe. He joined Trayport in 2001 as Commercial Director after six years with Air Miles. He is a Chartered Company Secretary.

Mark Holt, Head of Technology, will explain how carbon credits are used to hedge power in Europe and ways the US can leverage the European experience. His previous experience includes Siemens/BBC, ABN Amro.

While the US lagged behind the world in formulating carbon emissions policy during the Bush Administration, President Barack Obama has delivered a mandate to establish the US as a world beacon. Moreover, the Waxman-Markey climate and energy bill, or the American Clean Energy and Security Act, ACES, H.R. 2454, that regulates carbon credits and trading is expected to come to a vote in Congress before August.

AT&T, along with the other organizations that readers ranked at the top for their support for minorities and women, their attention to work/life balance and their commitment to supplier diversity, will be recognized in Diversity/Careers' June/July issue as 2009 Best Diversity Companies.

This year's Best Diversity Company list was selected with help from Diversity/Careers readers who selected 100 companies in sectors such as aerospace, healthcare, telecom, automotive, manufacturing, among others.
