Infonetics: Telecom Operators Stepping up Equipment Spending in 2013, Led by Asia; Growth Returns to EuropeCAMPBELL, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its Service Provider Capex, Revenue, and Capex by Equipment Type report, which tracks telecom operator revenue and capital expenditures (capex) by operator type, region, and equipment segment and provides insight into telecom spending trends. ANALYST NOTE "With 3 quarters of the data in and a careful review of carrier investment plans for each major world region, overall telecom service provider capex is on track to be up close to 4% this year led by Asia and North America, and 2013 is looking bright for all regions," says Stéphane Téral, principal analyst for mobile infrastructure and carrier economics at Infonetics Research. Téral adds: "With investment plans out from AT&T (News - Alert) and Deutsche Telekom, combined with the plans of a long list of major and smaller operators around the globe, we can safely say that 2013 and 2014 will be positive capex years, which is good news for vendors. Deutsche Telekom's (News - Alert) €30-billion 3-year investment plan announced this month will help lead a return to investments in the EMEA region. Despite the gloomy macroeconomic conditions in many places, especially Europe, service providers have no choice but to invest in their networks now; some have been restricting capex for so many years that they are experiencing network outages, unable to handle the exploding traffic. There is very high demand for telecom services everywhere, particularly for mobile broadband." CAPEX REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
