But when it comes to the telecommunications industry, this trend is appearing.

With the lack of legacy infrastructure and tight regulatory controls, planning and deployment of mobile networks can be very fast in developing markets compared to equivalent networks in developed markets.

This growth is driving innovation, with native companies now rivalling multinationals and in many cases overtaking developed markets in LTE deployment.
