Telecom Carrier Spending Entering New Era Marked by Diverse Regional Trends Campbell, CALIFORNIA (June 2, 2015)- Worldwide telecom service provider capital expenditures grew 2.9 percent year-over-year in 2014, to US$352 billion, according to the latest IHS Infonetics Service Provider Capex, Revenue, and Capex by Equipment Type report from IHS (NYSE: IHS). Meanwhile, global telecommunications service revenue grew 0.4 percent in 2014, to US$1.997 trillion. "We're entering a new era of desynchronized cycles in telecom spending. Regions and economic powers have their own investment agendas and pace, and this will result in overall flat-to-low-single-digit capex growth through 2019 unless a major event occurs," said Stéphane Téral, research director for mobile infrastructure and carrier economics at IHS.
