IDC Telecom Services Tracker Finds Accelerated Growth Due to Inflation but the Future Remains Shadowed by the Looming Recession

IDC Telecom Services Tracker Finds Accelerated Growth Due to Inflation but the Future Remains Shadowed by the Looming Recession. NEEDHAM, Mass., November 04, 2022 - Worldwide spending on telecommunications and pay TV services will be nearly $1.6 trillion in 2022, representing a year-over-year increase of 1.9%, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Semiannual Telecom Services Tracker. The latest forecast is a bit more optimistic than the version published in May as it assumes growth in total market value will be 0.5 percentage points higher. IDC believes that this positive movement is a consequence of inflation (i.e., the increase in tariffs for telecommunication services). As a result of the inflationary pressures that have started to threaten their profitability, telecom operators have recently started to increase the tariffs for their services. A simple analogy indicates that the higher tariffs mean clients are paying more, and the total nominal value of the market is growing faster than previously expected. This trend is common across all global regions and has caused similar changes in their respective revenue forecasts for 2022: the growth in the Americas was increased by 0.3 percentage points, in Asia/Pacific by 0.5 percentage points, and in EMEA by 0.9 percentage points. The increase in EMEA comes mostly from Europe, a region that is witnessing higher-than-average inflation while struggling to find a replacement for cheap Russian energy. Still, the fastest revenue growth this year is expected in the Asia/Pacific region, driven by the relatively lower saturation of the telco markets in less-developed countries. Global Regional Telecoms and Pay TV Services Revenue and Year-on-Year Growth (revenues in $B) Global Region2021 Revenue2022 Revenue*2022/2021 Growth*Americas$579$5861.2%Asia/Pacific$504$5162.3%EMEA$478$4892.3%Total$1,561$1,5911.9%Source: IDC Worldwide Semiannual Services Tracker - 1H 2022 With the tariff increases, most of the operators have initially focused on the mobile section of the market, lifting the average prices by a high-single-digit percentage. This has been done because the mobile section represents a major part of every telco market, so the outcome of such action is visible sooner; and in the fixed segment, and especially in its B2B portion, there is typically a high proportion of customers with multi-year contracts that cannot be broken without penalties. Consequently, our forecast for mobile services spending in 2022 has been increased by 0.7 percentage points, above the average for the overall market.

IDC Telecom Services Tracker Finds Accelerated Growth Due to Inflation but the Future Remains Shadowed by the Looming Recession - 2022 Nov -F-1 Inflation does not bring only a positive boost to the market. On its flip side, it generates a deterioration of the purchasing power of consumers and businesses, thus causing a decrease in demand. Fortunately, in the case of telecom services, the decrease in demand is not likely to be massive. This is because the elasticity of telecom services, just as of any other utility services, is relatively low (i.e., the demand for such services changes less than proportionally when its price increases or decreases). Elasticity is higher in less developed countries simply because a bigger share of clients is not able to afford more expensive services – they usually opt to migrate to cheaper packages or even drop some services that they consider replaceable. In contrast, the elasticity is lower in countries or regions with higher purchasing power – and that explains the relatively higher boost of spending in Europe as mentioned above. According to the latest forecasts published by the International Monetary Fund, inflation is here to stay for at least the next three years. Consequently, the dance between increasing prices and decreasing demand will remain one of the main stories in the telecom industry. Although the elasticity of telecom services is relatively low, inflation, together with a possible recession, might ruin the fragile balance between prices and demand. "This puts telecom operators in an uncomfortable position," said Kresimir Alic, research director, Worldwide Telecom Services at IDC. "Maintaining healthy margins will require additional rounds of price increases and their ability to carefully balance between the two forces will determine the future development of telco markets in individual countries, regions, and the whole world."

Schon gesehen?

!! Selber entdeckt nein - @dreameater1988 hat es geschickt! :>

Und ich lebe jetzt in dem Wissen, dass es offenbar doch Leute beim ZDF gibt, die Doctor Who kennen. Und Memes. Und...davon ausgehen, dass ihre Zuschauer das kennen. Zuschauer des ZDF.

Dabei gehe ich immer noch davon aus dass Deutschland so das einzige gallische Dorf bleibt, wo weite Teile der Bevölkerung noch nie von Doctor Who gehört haben (bin da schon vielfach auf 'oh das kenne ich nicht, worum geht es da?' gestoßen)

Hi darling anon!!!!!!💖💖💖 thank you so much for the song prompt, I fucking love bts and this jk song is so good!!!!!! Hope you like what I wrote, it's nearly 1k!!!💖💖

your eyes tell - prompt post

Max looks at Charles in the club, dancing and enjoying having a random girl grinding on him, drunk but with still a drink in his hand. The heavy bass of the drums makes his heart feel like it’s leaping out of its place. He watches as Charles drags his free hand from her neck down her curves, resting on her ass, underneath her dress. Max bets the skin is impossibly smooth and plump.

He shakes his head and goes back to his gin and tonic. Alex and George, next to him, are lively talking about some stupid mechanical component of their cars. Max feels tired of cars for the first time in his life. He goes back to watching Charles eat that girl’s mouth out with drunk fervour. He’s rapt because of the sight. She keeps one hand on his face and the other sliding down his chest, feeling his defined abs.

Max rolls his eyes. It’s going to be a long night. Charles is staying in the room in front of his, and Max doesn’t have enough depravity to witness that too. He takes the last sip of his drink and casts one last glance at Charles. He’s sucking on the girl’s neck but he’s staring right at Max. Max shakes his head and raises his empty glass to him before turning around and walking away.

He pats George and Alex on their backs as a goodbye and calls a cab to get back to his hotel. Looking for someone is not something for that night.

He meets Carlos and his girlfriend in the lobby and stays for a little with them to talk. Charles and the girl walk past them, too busy grabbing and kissing to notice them. Carlos sighs and complains about Charles’ behaviour. Max laughs it off, but Carlos knows they share the same concern. It’s been going on for a while and it would be better for him to stop.

“I’m going to sleep, see you tomorrow at the airport?” Max says after a good chat, hugging Carlos and kissing his girlfriend’s cheeks.

Carlos nods and Max walks to the elevators. The ride is quiet and Max enjoys the silence while it lasts. He walks to his room and the whole hall is silent. Weird. He shakes his head and swipes his key inside. He takes off his clothes and treats himself to a nice hot shower. When he's done he dries himself up, dries his hair, puts on a comfy white cotton t-shirt and a pair of underwear. Everything is still so quiet. He opens a bottle of water and takes a sip. He had just a drink that night, so the morning would be nice to him.

Max considers watching a movie, but a knock on his hotel door gives him other plans. He furrows his brows and sets down the water bottle. Thinking it could be either Carlos or Lando, he opens the door.

Charles is standing right in front of him. He ditched the club outfit for a simple oversized red sweater, covering his upper thighs. Max is surprised, but he lets him in without uttering a word. Who is he to give Charles Leclerc the talk?

“Early night?” Max asks after Charles sits on his bed, soft hair hidden underneath the hood.

“Too drunk. She didn't remember my name and I was sick. Called a cab and her friends and sent her home…” Charles explains. Max wasn't really interested in knowing the truth. Charles doesn't owe him anything.

“Movie?” Max asks and Charles nods.

“Don't laugh, but I bought the Devil Wears Prada on the payTV of the hotel, is it okay?” Max continues. Charles nods again with a small smile.

Max puts on the movie and sits on the bed next to Charles. It’s a strange situation, they’ve never done anything like it. Their comfort zone is the track, sometimes a padel court. Sharing a bed is something Max never allowed himself to think about.

“Do you think I look for girls every time I go out because I’m scared of being gay?” Charles asks, as the first scene rolls by.

Max stops the movie and turns around to look at him. His eyes are glassy and there’s a sad expression on his face.

“What do you mean? There’s nothing wrong with being gay…” Max tries to articulate and Charles nods, half convinced.

They get back to the movie but Max can’t stop thinking about the words Charles spoke a few minutes before. Why did Charles decide to tell him this? Max stops the movie again and looks at Charles straight in the eyes.

They’re so green and so sad. Full of tears too. Max can read them all too well. A forest to his sky.

“You don’t have to tell me anything now, or ever, okay? But whatever it is, I’ll listen and won’t judge, okay? Like a debrief…” Max tries and Charles nods, blinking away a few tears.

“You can sleep here if you want…” Max mumbles, taking a tissue from his nightstand and giving it to Charles. He blows his nose and nods.

Max puts back on the movie and Charles lifts the duvet, snuggling next to Max, but under the covers. Max would like to say that he doesn’t know what to do, but his brand is honesty, so he wraps an arm around Charles and soothes him, trying to keep his feelings at bay.

“It’s okay…” Max mumbles, more to himself than to Charles.

He hopes he will find Charles next to him in the morning.

do you have any thoughts about the practice of looking at SpongeBob SquarePants (the character and/or the show) through a neurodivergent lens?

I'm too Australian to have any strong connection with a show that screened on PayTV, so I can't actually give you any insights based on an awareness of the character.

What I can say is that you almost never lose anything from a work by looking at it through the lens of people who are normally excluded from the conversation.

I think it‘s pretty fucked up that there is no place to legally watch Cartoon Network in Germany other than PayTV.

And even the Christmas stream on the US-YouTube channel got blocked by Germany. Because OF COURSE you can‘t give people free streams?! WHEN YOU CAN PAY SO MUCH MORE MONEY FOR CABLE AND ADDITIONAL PAY-TV

Have you ever watched Gangs Of London?

Hello anon! No, I did not watched it but I am always seeing adds of it on one of the paytv channels I have subscribed. Wanting to watch it since the first season dropped but I yet didn't.

Outubro chegou e o impacto com notícias, propagandas, campanhas nas TVs e informações nas redes sociais sobre o Dia das Crianças já começou. Para as crianças, a data celebrada anualmente no dia 12 é tipicamente acompanhada de presentes e brincadeiras. Para os adultos, é uma correria para encontrar os brinquedos favoritos dos pequenos, programações e passeios divertidos, entre outros. Uma pesquisa da plataforma de inteligência de Mídia, a TUNAD, revela que as inserções de TV aberta de campanhas relacionadas ao Dia das Crianças já vinham de forte crescimento entre os anos de 2021 e 2022. Analisando o período de 5 a 12 de Outubro de cada ano, enquanto no ano de 2021 foram no total 1.230 inserções na TV aberta relacionadas ao Dia das Crianças nas principais praças auditadas pela Tunad, em 2022, esse número aumentou para 2.717, ou seja, um aumento percentual de mais de 120%. A marca responsável por alavancar esse número foi o “Mercado Livre”, que em 2022 teve um total de 1.675 inserções relacionadas ao Dia das Crianças. Essas inserções geraram bons resultados de lifts pela busca pela marca no Google: mais de 45 mil buscas acima da média (utilizando como baseline a média de 5 minutos antes). Marcas como “Havan” e “Dolly” aumentaram também significativamente sua presença no Dia das Crianças do ano de 2021 para 2022, com a Havan aumentando em mais de 160% o número de inserções e a Dolly aumentando 86%. Comparando com as inserções de Setembro e Outubro de 2023,, a tendência desse ano é um aumento de 10% no número de inserções na TV Aberta de marcas com campanhas relacionadas ao Dia das Crianças, sendo o grande impulsionador, o Varejo. Marcas como “Mercado Livre”, “Havan” e “Jequiti” estiveram fortemente presentes no ano passado, rompendo as médias dos anos anteriores, e a tendência é que continuem fortemente este ano, alavancando o número de inserções e lifts gerados pela marca no Google. Para obter a pesquisa basta clicar no link:https://bit.ly/3LJD3yE Como o estudo é realizado? A Tunad possui uma equipe de auditoria e um sistema de captura de sinal dos canais da TV aberta e PayTV. O sistema desenvolvido pela Tunad consegue identificar o momento de início dos comerciais e faz a classificação automática via audio-matching com uma equipe de auditoria fazendo a conferência final para a validação dos resultados. Hoje, auditamos para as pesquisas os canais de TV Aberta de São Paulo, Araçatuba, Bauru, Campinas, Curitiba, Itapetininga, Jaú, São José do Rio Preto. E os canais de PayTV: AXN, Cartoon Network, CNN Brasil, Discovery Channel, Discovery H&H,Discovery Kids,ESPN2,ESPN4,ESPN Brasil, Fox/Star, FX ,Globo News,GNT,Megapix, Multishow, National Geographic, Sony, SporTV, TNT, Universal, Viva, Warner Channel. Porém, para clientes, conseguimos monitorar a maioria das praças no Brasil. Além disso, a plataforma da Tunad consegue utilizar esses dados para fazer um cruzamento para identificar se esses anúncios tiveram impactos em algum KPI específico. Um dos KPIs que a Tunad tem integração são as buscas no Google. A Tunad possui uma API que irá carregar minuto a minuto as palavras-chave que são cadastradas na plataforma. Com esses dados a plataforma irá traçar uma média pela busca pela palavra-chave cadastrada 5 minutos antes de cada uma das identificações dos anúncios, e traçar uma projeção 10 minutos depois das inserções de quanto se teria de buscas sem os anúncios, e isso chamamos de baseline. Após isso comparamos essa projeção com o valor real de buscas, tudo aquilo que sobressai esse baseline gerado chamamos de Uplift, sendo a principal métrica que utilizamos para avaliar se um anúncio teve ou não impacto no KPI.
