There is no doubt that it has been a trying and difficult year for the worldwide ICT industry, and for the global economy as a whole. Yet, we are presenting this 10th annual edition of Trends in Telecommunication Reform, with a sense of hope and confidence that better times lie ahead, perhaps in the near future. Indeed, as the previous issue of Trends noted a year ago – even as the international credit crisis was reaching full swing – the fundamental drivers of growth in the ICT industry remain sound. The demand for wireless voice and data services, and for broadband Internet access services, remains strong and could well turn voracious as positive growth returns to economies around the world. Governments in both developed and developing countries stand ready to promote ICTs for a range of economic and social reasons as well as to help lead the world out of the financial crisis.
