11. The Telecom Economy
• Telecommunications and Networking
– Is the most critical infrastructure of the 21st century
– Has become more important than power, water,
transportation and even education
– Investments are more productive than similar
investments in any other kind of infrastructure *
*And of course, the impact is exceptionally noticeable in developing nations.
• Today, the telecom industry has not only
recovered, but is expected to reach an all-time
high –
– industry profits were expected to reach US$72 billion in 2007 –
exceeding the previous high-water mark of US$65 billion in 1998
12. The Telecom Economy
• Worldwide telecom revenue totaled $3.5 trillion
in 2007, up 11.2 % from 2006 (Telephony Online,
May 5, 2008)
– Europe was the largest telecom market at $1.2 trillion
(8.6% growth)
– The U.S. market accounted for $1 trillion of that total,
with domestic revenue up 8.3%
– Asia/Pacific accounted for $880 billion (17.1% growth)
• The number of IT and telephony employees
worldwide is expected to exceed 20 million by
2008 (From the U.S. Dept. of Labor and ITAA)
13. The Telecom Sector
• Telecom is the fastest growing
sector today
• It offers huge career opportunities to
engineers, computer science, and
business and management graduates
●
Professionals are required in all telecom
skills areas – including tech support,
software design , R&D, maintenance,
network design, product management,
marketing and sales, project management,
business development, strategic planning,
financial analysts, legal and regulatory
advisors, and executive management !
14. The Urgent Need for
Telecom Essentials Training
While the Telecom sector is clocking
unprecedented growth, it is troubled by severe lack
of trained professionals.
The key stumbling block to the continued
growth will in fact be non availability of skilled
professionals to meet the demand.
Innumerable professionals are required to fill the
job openings.Ironically, there is a huge skill gap
between telecom industry requirements and the
professionals and engineers entering the industry.
A recent article in the Economic Times projects a
requirement of 150,000 professionals to meet the
demand in the Indian telecom sector for current
year alone. Even allowing for correction in
estimates to take care of vagaries in overall
business environment, the numbers could still end
up huge.
15. The Urgent Need for
Telecom Essentials Training
• There is a growing need for
professionals to keep pace with
emerging technologies
• There is an urgent need to train
and deploy knowledgeable
telecom professionals as quickly
and effectively as possible
• With an increasing number of
technical and professional
candidates coming from various
backgrounds, today it is essential to
train them quickly and on their own
schedule
