Resume
Europe is currently reviewing the regulatory framework governing telecommunications, with a view to accelerating the creation of the Digital Single Market and the deployment of superfast fixed and mobile (5G) access. In the United States, with the end of the blackout on the 600 MHz auctions, the latest mergers and acquisitions have been announced, and the FCC is doing an about-face on the regulatory direction it had been taking during the Obama years… All of which conspires to create an opportune time to compare the current telecom services market dynamics on either side of the Atlantic.
This insight proposes a comparison of the telecom services market dynamics between Europe and the USA in terms of competition, growth (in value and in volume) and economic results.
This 5th issue of our monthly DigiWorld Watch Service also presents a focus on some key topics of the Connected TV World Summit held in London in May 2017 with a spotlight on the central place accorded to content and consumer knowledge.
The chronicle of the recent industry news is also included.

Market Insight
Telecom market dynamics : Europs vs. The USA
Executive Summary
1. Despite an apparent gradual rebalancing of power, the European end US markets continue to be underpinned by very different dynamics
– Competition in the mobile market and strong growth for fixed broadband in the US
– Growth back on the table in Europe’s mobile market, but still sluggish in the fixed market
2. Despite the recent drop in revenue, operators in the US are still outperforming their European counterparts economically
– Telcos’ declining revenue
– US operators still enjoying strong margins while Europeans still struggling to turn the tide on the slump begun in 2011
– Despite stepped-up investments, telcos in Europe have still not closed the gap with actual CapEx in the US, and spending is undermining their financial health
