Gurugram, Dec 24 (TIWN) The macro and long-term views of the telecom market comprising infrastructure, equipment and user devices continues to remain positive despite the short-term disruption that the industry has witnessed, said a study on Tuesday.

The carrier infrastructure and carrier managed services segment registered a growth of 5 per cent on the back of large-scale network buildouts, according to the research conducted by market research firms CyberMedia Research (CMR) and B&M Nxt.  The enterprise communications market saw 6 per cent growth, spurred by the need for communication requirements of a digital era.  "Much of the growth in the carrier infrastructure and enterprise equipment segments has been driven by the need for network transformation from legacy voice-centric networks to data-oriented networks. This has better prepared telcos to tap into the next generation opportunities of a digital services era," Thomas George, President, CMR, said in a statement.  The only segment to post a negative revenue growth was predictably the telecom services segment, which has been adjusting to new competitive dynamics.
