Pyramid Research (www.pyr.com), a worldwide leader in telecom research and consulting services, has launched a new research product line aimed specifically at identifying and analyzing growth opportunities in emerging markets.

The Pyramid Research Telecom Insider series delivers concise and timely data and analysis covering telecom trends in key regional emerging markets, including:

  --  Africa & the Middle East
  --  Latin America
  --  Asia/Pacific
  --  Europe

Monthly reports for each region will provide deep insight into how new services and technologies are shaping the telecom services landscape in key emerging markets. Each report will deliver 10 to 20 pages of unique data and analysis, including Pyramid's proprietary forecasts for telecom service deployment, usage, revenues, and market share for key countries within each strategic region.

The new series debuts with "Pay-TV in Africa and the Middle East: Early-Stage Market Prepares for Expansion," an in-depth analysis of the fast-growing video services market in Africa and the Middle East. The 14-page report includes current data and five-year forecasts covering pay-TV services in top emerging markets in these two fast-growing regions.
