The telecommunications sector provides telecommunications and related service activities like transmitting voice, data, text, sound and video, either wired or wireless. The sector is characterised by rapid development in terms of business structure and new demand and supply, with new technologies (mobile and handheld devices Internet, computers, optic fibre networks), trade liberalisation, deregulation and privatisation being important drivers.

This study is scenario-based, and is both forward- and backward-looking. It presents a variety of options and recommendations to address future skills and knowledge needs in the sector, aimed at education and training institutes, policy-makers and other stakeholders.
