Key Topics Covered

Executive summary and recommendations

    --  Fixed broadband revenue will be the main contributor to telecoms revenue
        growth in North America between 2018 and 2024
    --  The telecoms market in North America is reasonably mature and will grow
        more slowly than the rest of the economy in the region between 2018 and
        2024
    --  Geographical coverage: 4G and 5G will be the only mobile technologies
        used in the region by 2023; 2G and 3G will shut down, allowing spectrum
        to be refarmed

Key trends, drivers and assumptions for the mobile and fixed markets

    --  Key recommendations for telecoms operators
    --  Regional forecasts and cross-country comparison
    --  Market context: the economies in Canada and the USA have been growing at
        a slow pace, and may fall into recession in the coming years
    --  Key mergers, acquisitions, and market entries

Key drivers at a glance for each North America market

    --  Market overview: revenue growth in the telecoms market will be limited
        due to declines in wholesale and fixed voice revenue
    --  Mobile: the number of 5G connections will grow rapidly once 5G handsets
        become more widely available and 5G network coverage grows
    --  Mobile: growth in the number of connections will be the main driver of
        revenue growth because mobile ARPU will remain largely constant
    --  Mobile: low levels of competition in the mobile segment will lead to
        slow but stable growth in mobile revenue during the forecast period
    --  Fixed: fixed revenue will grow during the forecast period despite a
        large decline in voice revenue, mainly due to growth in the number of
        NGA connections
    --  Fixed: fixed broadband ASPU will increase between 2018 and 2024 due to a
        lack of competition and because consumers are willing to pay more for
        faster services
    --  Fixed: fixed broadband will be the main driver of revenue growth in the
        fixed segment thanks to growth in both ARPU and household penetration
    --  Specialist business services: enterprise business revenue growth will be
        driven by revenue from non-operators that provide other business
        services
    --  IoT: the total IoT value chain revenue will grow considerably over the
        forecast period, but connectivity revenue will only account for a small
        proportion
    --  Pay TV: cord-cutting will continue in North America, and traditional
        pay-TV service revenue will decline

Individual country forecasts

    --  Canada: the total service revenue will continue to grow, driven by a
        lack of competition in the fixed broadband market
    --  Canada: the number of fixed broadband connections will continue to
        increase as operators expand their networks to underserved areas
    --  Canada: the lack of challengers to the established operators will keep
        fixed broadband ASPU at a high level, but mobile ARPU growth will be
        limited
    --  Canada: forecast changes
    --  USA: the mobile sector will be the main driver of telecoms revenue
        growth thanks to an increase in mobile penetration during the forecast
        period
    --  USA: fixed broadband ASPU is forecast to grow between 2018 and 2024,
        mostly because of the low level of competition in the market
    --  USA: the potential merger between T-Mobile and Sprint is creating a lot
        of uncertainty in the market and may lead to a decline in competition
    --  USA: forecast changes
