Hot Markets for 2007 — Prepare for Growth

Telecom equipment ($0.4B to print, 0 percent) is flat except for network providers like Nortel (+10 percent) and among Research in Motion (+40 percent) and other makers of personal digital assistants (PDAs). Cable and satellite ($1.5B to print, -28 percent), post-consolidation, will unplug all but direct mail printing. Directories ($14.3B, -6 percent) will commence their decline into printing history, but still with $3B to print in ’07 and ’08.
