Growth in the service fulfilment market is projected to be less affected by the economic downturn during 2009–2010 than the markets for OSSs that are judged to be non-revenue-related. Growth will continue in 2011 at rates close to the 2007 growth rates, driven by the need to fulfil increasingly complex service bundles for communications service providers (CSPs) in mature markets, and by the competitive growth and maturation of CSPs in emerging markets – especially in the mobile and residential broadband segments.
