DUBLIN -- The worldwide telecommunications market will double by 2010, according to a just released report.
Research and Markets says telecom sales will hit $282 billion within five years, driven by Internet networks, particularly in existing markets.
Digital, IP and Ethernet will replace other protocols, Research and Markets said. Meanwhile, 3G base stations will work side-by-side with WiMAX 802.16 base stations in urban areas.
Today's largest existing markets are forecast to grow to $446.9 billion by 2010, up from $197 billion this year.
