Abstract telecom industry trends, telecommunications technology and information technology

, revenue and market development and other key perspective of the AT & T reorganization of the background, that the world telecom industry recovery in 2004, began emergence of mergers and acquisitions and integration trend.

Always has a "wind vane reform" of the U.S. telecommunications market has experienced two years of 2005,2006, after the wave of merger integration, in the beginning of the year 2007 reached a new climax: January 8, 2007 AT & T announced the BellSouth formal completion of the acquisition. The largest in U.S. history through the acquisition of telecommunications, AT & T to become the United States and the world's largest telecommunications company, Telecom, "century-old" restore its global telecommunications industry opened new chapter.

Fact, not only in re-integration of the U.S. telecommunications industry, the world telecommunications industry recovery in 2004, it began a trend of mergers and acquisitions and integration. Then, the driver of this trend is it? I believe that, in addition to the general trend of the global telecommunications industry, the technology, business and market multiple factors such as the joint forces of the deep restructuring of the telecommunications industry, driving force.

1, the integration of the industry trends: telecom giant into the new era

Recalling that the World Telecommunication reform process, from the 20th century, 80's, the U.S. telecommunications giant AT & T spin-off headed to start the entire telecommunications market liberalization, followed by Japan's NTT, 80 in the late 20th century European telecom companies have begun to privatization. World Telecom Reform, breaking the monopoly to promote competition to benefit customers, but also promoted the rapid development of the telecommunications industry itself.

However, whether monopoly or competition, the telecommunications industry, economies of scale characteristics and attributes do not change, the ability of telecom operators would eventually seek to become bigger and stronger, so it could reduce operating costs and improve profitability, therefore, judging from this point of view, the re-emergence of the telecommunications giant is only a matter of timing. AT & T split 23 years later, the technology integration between the business and even the birth of fusion between industries, in order to promote integration of service offerings, more and more telecommunications companies for fixed / mobile convergence and telecom / media convergence strategies such as development of the reorganization . AT & T comply with industry trends, re-gathered as the world's giants, not only directly affects the structure of the United States telecommunications market, but also because of its global telecommunications market dominance, leading the integration of the global telecommunications industry into a new era.

07 U.S. telecommunications giant into the two-time: After the acquisition of Bell South, AT & T on again become a giant U.S. telecommunications market, the annual income of more than 110 billion U.S. dollars, with 317,000 employees, nearly 7 1000000 fixed telephone lines, more than 5400 million mobile phone users and 9.9 million broadband Internet users, more than half of U.S. telephone lines and Internet access lines are controlled by AT & T hands. Another U.S. giant Verizon, in 2005 bought the second-largest U.S. long-distance telephone company MCI, the also have local phone service, business services and wireless subsidiary of the vertically integrated business model to annual revenues of approximately 90 billion U.S. dollars (2006) years second.

In Europe, after a series of mergers occurred Deutsche Telekom (930 million), France Telecom (640 million), Telefonica (600 billion) and British telecom giant four situation; Vodafone Zeyi 68 billion U.S. dollars in to keep the first mobile communications. France Telecom which began from 2003 through internal large-scale restructuring, integration of fixed, Internet and mobile services to provide comprehensive information services to all IP-based networks, terminals and information systems integration and opening up to promote the integration. In 2004, Deutsche Telekom is the strategic focus will shift to mobile, broadband and large, the three major areas of business customers, through mergers and acquisitions, the 65 countries around the world has 218 branches, Alliance Corporation, a global mobile communications, Internet , fixed networks and integrated information system support and other business.

The wave of the integration of telecom operation has now spread to the upper reaches of the telecommunications equipment industry: Alcatel and Lucent, Ericsson and Marconi, Nokia and Siemens, among these large enterprises have a "marriage." The reason is simple carriers after the merger as the increasing scale, and equipment suppliers will further enhance the bargaining power, but in order to survive, equipment providers will have to merge to keep revenue growth and expand into new product .

2, technological progress: to promote a new round of telecom industry consolidation

Telecommunications technology and the integration of information technology, faster and faster, broadband access, IP technology, 3G, NGN and so gave birth to a large number of new businesses, telecommunications networks, computer networks and cable networks continue to penetrate each other. Technological advances led to a series of deep telecom industry changes, so that a historical change in the main business: mobile and fixed IP is being a lot of diversion, so as to promote a new round of telecom industry consolidation.

IP high-speed development, the formation of the traditional telecommunications business model a great impact, making the entire telecom industry's most profitable long-distance business, has become the least profitable, long-distance telephone network monopoly advantage of almost total subversion. In new era, far more than the vitality of the access network backbone, AT & T in 1984 split is based on long distance, local telephone business principle of separation, the 2005 AT & T was SBC Communications (SBC) merger, nature of the access network is the backbone to be mergers.

Technology is breaking the barriers between different areas. With the development of mobile technology, 3G's massive advance, originally in the gap between fixed and wireless will gradually weaken. Integration of all customer needs: wireless, cable, local, long distance, broadband competition in the telecommunications industry, the key strategy, then, expansion through acquisitions and mergers in the field has become an inevitable choice. AT & T buying BellSouth (BellSouth) obtained after the largest U.S. mobile operator CingularWireless all options, the names of three companies as AT & T, after integration, in addition to simplifying the brand, the More importantly, can take this opportunity to integrate fixed and mobile network services, unified operating cost savings.
