"....retail revenue worldwide will grow at a 1.7% CAGR during 2012–2017, with growth in mobile (3.2%) more than offsetting a decline in fixed (–0.6%)"
"Revenue in emerging markets will grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during 2012–2017, which will more than offset the decline in WE (–1.3%), while revenue will be nearly stable in CEE (–0.2%), DVAP (–0.3%) and NA (+0.2%)"
"Around two-thirds of global revenue growth will come from Emerging Asia–Pacific, and around 20% from Latin America (see Figure 1). Three countries will account for about 60% of global revenue growth – China (40%), India (12%) and Brazil (8%)"
