The Great Call of China

This week we look at China's telecom boom, multi-screen opportunities for European operators and the meaning of the Motorola Atrix. It's all in this week's edition of Research Rewind.

• China is poised to overtake Japan as the world's No. 2 telecom market. What factors are driving the nation's great leap forward in telecom? Pyramid published a new Country Intelligence Report, "China: FTTx and 3G Drive Growth, Making It No. 2 Telecom Market Globally," to explain how China got to where it is and what opportunities are on the horizon.

As a reminder, you can download free excerpts of this and all 60 of Pyramid Research's Country Intelligence Reports, one for each country we cover. There are five-year telecom forecasts for developed and emerging markets around the world.

• Pyramid Research published a Europe Telecom Insider, "The Multiscreen Opportunity Makes for Great Viewing for Traditional Telcos in Europe," which points out that hybrid IPTV seems to be an answer for some telcos that don't want to rely solely on IPTV and who are latecomers to the pay-TV market.

• Heavy Reading's latest Analyst Note looks at the Motorola Atrix. In "Motorola Atrix: The Power & Confusion," Senior Analyst Gabriel Brown notes that the advanced hardware of Motorola's Atrix impresses, but infighting in the mobile industry fogs the picture.

• You don't need to play sports to be an MVP. Become a Heavy Reading MVP to get exclusive previews of Heavy Reading's upcoming research, discounts on research purchases -- and even the chance to earn free reports and free passes to Heavy Reading events.

That's Research Rewind for this week. Until next Friday, we'll see you online at Pyramid Research and Heavy Reading. May the telecom be with you!
