Foreign telecommunications industry
Article Abstract:
The international phone duopoly in Great Britain of Mercury Communications and British Telecommunications is ceasing, with lower international revenue possible. International deregulation and competition is increasing and US services are planning Latin American and Asian access. Rising unemployment and slower economic growth, especially in France, is a concern, however. Investors should be cautious in selecting these stocks for commitment.

Foreign telecommunications industry
Article Abstract:
More than 18 companies in the foreign telecommunications industry plan to raise funds in the capital markets in 1996. Many of the government-owned companies, such as Deutsche Telekom, plan to privatize in whole or in part, as well. Competition in international services has been proposed by Oftel of the UK. These stocks are not timely for 1996 as they are affected by restructuring, competitive pricing, and other pressures.

Article Abstract:
Demand for telecommunications is increasing in the Far East, both in fixed line and cellular services. Installation of 150 million lines is anticipated by the year 2000 costing $1500 each. The largest Asian market is China with a population of 960 million and a low ratio of access lines. This industry will underperform the market for 1995 and 1996, but has a large earnings potential for the year 2000 and beyond.
