Over the last thirty years, BuddeComm has prided itself on its analyses and forecasts. We have a good record. We have never got it completely wrong, and we have always been able to at least point our customers and readers in the right direction. But one of the most difficult tasks we face is that of identifying timeframes for our projections. We believe that our professional experience stands us in good stead in this respect, but it is still our greatest challenge. Professor Carlota Perez recently put this into perspective for us and this forecasting report offers improved guidelines through which to view the transitional period of the communications revolution. We are now moving towards the mass deployment phase, which will be accompanied by unprecedented social and economic benefits – not just for individual nations but, if we do it right, for the global community also.
