LONDON, ENGLAND — (Marketwired) — 11/07/13 — Telecoms has seen something of a revival of late. Data has come to play an increasingly important role, mobile technology has driven rapid technological change, and stricter capital requirements have spurred a new age of consolidation.
However, rather than see these circumstances as impediments to progress, many have embraced them as opportunities; forging new and exciting partnerships and improving upon their existing products and services in an effort to cement their standing atop an ever-challenging sector.
Those who have really changed the industry for the better are listed in the November – December issue of World Finance, in the Telecoms Awards, 2013. To read more of the award winners, go to .
In keeping with the sector-s new mobile revolution, Twitter-s IPO looks to fetch a considerable sum of cash as many anticipate that mobile advertising will constitute a sizeable share of the social media platform-s business.
A new World Finance report takes a look at the reasons underpinning the investor-wide delirium surrounding the IPO and how it is that Twitter has come be so highly valued, despite not having turned a profit to date.
World Finance journalist Rita Lobo casts an eye back to the results of Twitter-s $12.8bn valuation this summer, which equated to around $2bn lower than the common consensus, and far short of the $20bn predicted by some.
It would appear that Twitter is well equipped to negotiate the pitfalls of Facebook-s disastrous IPO, however the question remains as to whether the offering is overhyped, or just hyped enough. Provided that Twitter can convert users and data to revenue, the shares look a reasonable return on investment. However, with so many external factors outside of the company-s control, the future is hazy.
