Lightning Pick Technologies (www.lightningpick.com), providers of paperless picking systems including the number one selling Pick to Light solution in North America recently discussed LP User Community News.  According to Joe Pelej, "More multinational organizations adopt Lightning Pick as their standardized paperless picking system platform in 2010. Lightning Pick continues to grow its global user community with several new international projects and agreements in Latin America, South Africa, Asia, and Europe. From projects with major cosmetics operations to leading big box retailers, these companies are selecting Lightning Pick as the proven provider for world class paperless picking solutions.

These new projects have often involved large multinational enterprises who are seeking platform standardization. Because several of these larger businesses are the early adopters of Pick to Light technologies within their geography or industry segment, they wanted to select proven best-of-breed solutions to execute their best practice processes.   

A common theme across all of these international installations has been the involvement of a strong local "in country" system integrator. A large percentage of Lightning Pick's US-based projects are the result of successful integrator collaborations. This experience has enabled Lightning Pick to clearly identify effective international partners to work with for these emerging accounts.  

                

Pelej noted, "Supporting this global customer community has been very straightforward through the use of VPN (virtual private network) support. Overall each of these completed projects has been a major success and Lightning Pick looks forward to servicing more worldwide installations in the coming months."

Telecommunications Service Provider Subscriber Growth 2007-2012

This report enumerates the subscriber base and estimates subscriber growth in five classes of telecommunication services providers through a quantitative analysis of the major players in each of the following market segments: wireless carriers, CLECs, dominant incumbent carriers, regional incumbent carriers, and cable providers. In addition to enumerating subscriber totals, both by the number of subscribers and by percentage of subscribers held by each class of service provider, the report discusses the impacts that data services will have on wireless growth, the adoption of Telco-TV on the wireline carriers, and how continuing competition between wireline carriers and cable operators is being played out in the plant upgrades. This study’s main thesis is that the future of any segment is highly dependant upon the actions taken by the competitive service providers.



Report Excerpt



Chapter I


The purpose of this report is to quantify the number of subscribers by carrier for various telecommunications and media services. This report contains a section on each of the following categories:



• Wireless


• CLEC


• Dominant Carriers


• Regional Carriers


• Cable Companies



INSIGHT’s forecasts of the future number of subscribers to the various telecommunications services presented in this report were developed using a model. On the demand side of the model, we assume that six customer clusters or segments drive the telecommunications market:



Wireless Business


Wireless Residential


Landline Business


Landline Residential


Residential High Speed Internet


Residential Video



The traffic loads generated by these six segments and their evolution from one technology to the next has been fairly consistent and therefore predictable over the intermediate term. On the supply side of our model, however, we assume that five types of telecommunications providers noted above will compete for the business among these segments.



The model and resulting forecasts cover the major players in each segment, which account for at least 80 percent of the subscribers within that segment. The moves that these players make will drive the segment. Our model can also be run assuming each major player in a provider group follows a different strategy, although that level of detail was not used for this analysis. The model can handle any number of industry players.



The underlying premise is that once a certain standard has been achieved, the industry behaves much like a commodity market with changes in share driven by differences in price. In the past, customers churned between IXC and RBOC for long distance service and a bundle of local and LD. Today customers churn between DSL and cable, and in the future the churn will be between video service from the cable company versus telco versus satellite provider. Similarly, market shares between ILEC and cable companies will change as they compete for the same customer. Distribution of revenue among industry groups will also be affected; for example, wireless substitution shifts revenue from wireline to wireless.



Furthermore, the model assumes that these industry groups will behave in a manner that will increase their revenue stream over time. Telco’s may offer triple play service at a lower price point than the cable companies, but only to the point that it drives incremental revenue and margin. The cable company response to this may be to increase their share among business customers or to partner with a wireless provider to offer the quadruple play.



Another premise of the model is substitution. In addition to changing vendors, customers can change services such as migrating from a fixed line to wireless or DSL to wireless data. The model is set up to allow each provider group to offer different services, and depending on the growth rate of these services, the player may be a winner or loser. This model can also be used to estimate how changes in price will impact the overall industry. Questions arise along the lines of the following: “How far can your competitor reduce price before it will cause deterioration in their financial condition?”



1.2 Subscriber Growth Summary



Consolidation of the telecommunications industry, combined with new technologies, and some regulatory rulings have created a number of winners and losers among the categories mentioned above.



Wireless is perhaps the clearest winner, with 15 percent annual growth in subscribers over the past two and one half years. Although subscriber growth may slow in the coming years, revenues from data services will likely drive overall revenue at a healthy pace.

Tremendous Growth in the Uae's Telecommunication Market

It is continuously considering and evaluating ways to further intensify competition in the UAE telecom market.

Penetration in the mobile market surpassed 166% in 2007, leaving less room for operators to further take advantage of the market. But this is not the end of growth; future growth in mobile subscriptions will come from growing population and increasing number of expatriates, says RNCOS in its new research report, “Booming UAE Telecom Sector”. Moreover, operators are now looking at Value Added Services (VAS) to derive revenues from saturated mobile market.

However, the fixed-line sector remains underdeveloped, with fixed-line penetration standing at just over 30% in 2007. Various factors, such as high tariffs and absence of fixed-line networks, have been hindering the growth of the country’s fixed-line market. But the recent announcement by the TRA to allow Carrier Pre-Selection (CPS) in the country could bring fruitful results in this sector.

In line with the increasing education and business in the region, the demand for Internet services has also increased in recent years. Although dial-up subscriptions currently dominates the Internet market, we project broadband subscribers to account for nearly 65% of Internet subscribers in coming few years.

Developments in all the sectors of ICT industry has heated up the competition in the region. So operators are seeking new sources of growth to capitalize on their share of the market. This is resulting into introduction of new technologies such as IPTV, VoIP, Mobile TV, etc. Operators in the region are aggressively pushing the deployment of network infrastructure suitable for these technologies.

“Booming UAE Telecom Sector” provides in-depth analysis of the telecommunication market in the UAE. It gives an insight into the current market trends dominating the market. This research report also gives industry forecast on various telecom segments based on feasible telecom industry environment in the UAE. These include telecommunication industry, fixed-line, mobile subscribers, Internet subscribers, broadband subscribers and 3G subscribers.

The research presents thorough analysis on the current and potential outlook of various emerging technologies, such as IPTV and Mobile TV in the UAE.

As the telecom market remains duopoly of Etisalat and du, the report, keeping in mind importance of these two players in the success of UAE telecom market, offers rational analysis on both these operators. This includes in-depth research and extensive analysis on their business activities, recent developments and SWOT analysis in regard to the UAE telecom industry.
