RTR publishes Telecom Monitor annual report: mobile telecommunications sector generated roughly 60% of overall industry revenues in 2014

Press release dated 11 June 2015

 “The annual report RTR Telecom Monitor provides yet another indication of the excellent position of Austria’s mobile telecommunications market. In 2014, the mobile telecommunications sector generated some EUR 2.5 billion, which is more than 60% of overall industry revenues. About 86% of all call minutes recorded in the year under review were handled via mobiles,” stated Johannes Gungl, Managing Director of RTR’s Telecommunications and Postal Services Division, presenting facts from the recently published annual report RTR Telecom Monitor.

Unquenched thirst for data in the consumer market

“It is also impressive to observe how data volumes in the consumer market changed: this figure rose by about 50%, from 110,700 terabytes in 2013 to 166,000 terabytes in 2014. Austria’s thirst for data can be expected to continue to grow exorbitantly. On the other hand, services once thought to be innovative, such as text and multimedia messaging, fell back considerably and are losing relevance,” Gungl observed, presenting other data from RTR’s most recent report.
