In many emerging countries it is easier to roll out a modern mobile network than the miles of copper required for a fixed line network. Mobile offers low income subscribers more affordable prepay mobile telecommunications combined with a degree of cost control not possible with fixed line. These factors help explain the phenomenal growth of mobile subscriber numbers in emerging markets. So, today, one of the leading trends in the telecommunications industry is to design and manufacture low-cost cellular phones to service emerging market economies. In response, handset manufacturers have had to seriously examine how to lower cellular platform costs to capture this growing market segment.
