About DataHub

The data that you can see in the DataHub is determined by your subscription.

DataHub is constantly expanding in scope. It includes the entire suite of data associated with the Telecoms Data research practice, as well as datasets from other 'Telco' topic research programmes and the SMB Technology Forecaster.

The 'Telco' portal is split into two main sets of data: the 'Actuals' tab provides operator and country data and is updated quarterly while the 'Forecasts' tab provides a number of forecast datasets, which are updated fully each year, with frequent partial updates in between.

TELCO ACTUALS

The 'Telco actuals' tab provides country and operator data from the Telecoms Data research programmes, including Financial KPIs, and European Quarterly Metrics. Key market data is provided for 83 countries and over 600 operators. Data is updated quarterly, and provided for years, quarters and some half-years. We also include fixed–mobile convergence (FMC) metrics for 18 countries.       

TELCO FORECASTS

The telco core forecasts provide country data from the following data modules: European Core Forecasts, Asia–Pacific Metrics and Forecasts, Middle East and Africa Metrics and Forecasts, Americas Metrics and Forecasts and Global Telecoms Forecasts. These forecasts use around 200 standardised metrics to give a comprehensive overview of key market developments in 82 countries, and provide aggregated results for 8 regions and the whole world (over 90 geographies in all). We provide an additional 170 metrics for Europe.

The 'Telco forecasts' tab also includes an expanding set of granular topic datasets (see below for details).
