Market Sizing Forecasts Reveal Growth Opportunities for a North American Telco

Outpacing competitive forces and delivering on today's customer expectations, requires a level of market intelligence that can provide an acute understanding of product and market opportunities.

They also needed to understand the future outlook for over 50 wireless products and services, in order to create accurate revenue forecasts to support their product planning and development.
