The North American mobile industry has been the strongest performing of any developed region for some time. The region has seen substantial subscriber growth, early adoption of new technologies (such as smartphones and 4G/LTE) and strong revenue trends. The region continues to lead innovation in all areas of the mobile ecosystem, including hardware, access technologies, operating systems and new apps and services that are scaling rapidly and changing how individuals live and work. With the outlook for more subdued service revenue growth going forward, it is important that operators in the region continue to innovate, focus on quality of service, and collaborate realistically and effectively with the broader ecosystem. The success of the mobile industry to date reflects high levels of investment, as well as a regulatory environment that has historically leaned towards effectively protecting consumers and ensuring a level playing field as opposed to being unnecessarily burdensome.
