Total U.S. communications spending will decline one percent in 2009 to $882.6 billion, but will grow 3.6 percent per year over the next five years to more than $1 trillion, according to Veronis Suhler Stevenson, a normally sober outfit.
The caution there is how one defines "communications." Estimates of this magnitude for the U.S. market necessarily include lots of other activities such as local area network and other premises networking services and products, and is not a direct proxy for "telecommunications."
This growth will make communications the third fastest-growing sector (behind mining and construction) of the U.S. economy through 2013, VSS says.
