Telecom Network Operators: 2Q23 Market Review


This report reviews the growth and development of the telecommunications network operator (TNO, or telco) market. The report tracks a wide range of financial stats for 139 telcos across the globe, from 1Q11 through 2Q23. In the annualized 2Q23 period, telcos represented $1.76 trillion (T) in revenues (-5.1% YoY), $252.2 billion (B) in labor costs (-4.0% YoY), and $325.0B in capex (-2.0% YoY). They employed approximately 4.56 million people as of June 2023, down 1.2% from the prior year.

Capex declined again in the latest single quarter after managing a recovery of sorts in 1Q23. Telcos in the US, China, and Europe are moving past peak 5G capital investment levels and are looking to bolster their finances amid declining top-line, macro pressures, and slowdown concerns. Capex declined by 5.8% on a YoY basis – the steepest fall since 2Q20 – to post $76.0B in 2Q23. The sharp decline in the latest quarter also knocked down the annualized capex, falling by 2.0% YoY to post $324.9B in 2Q23. This decline impacted annualized capital intensity which came off the highs from 18.7% in 1Q23 to total 18.5% in 2Q23; this ratio is still among the highest ever for the industry, however. Increased fiber roll-out and upgrade activities to support fixed broadband and to connect all the new radio infra (including small cells) needed for 5G, coupled with continued expansion of 5G in major markets like India, have aided annualized capital intensity to hover near record high levels.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
