The Brand Finance Telecoms 500 is a report that ranks the world's most valuable telecoms brands. The report was released in July 2010 and is based on data collected for the Brand Finance Global 500. The report shows that European and United States domiciled telecoms brands make up 68% of the total brand value of the Brand Finance Telecoms 500, but the dominance of these brands may be temporary as the growth of the telecoms sector in emerging markets has been phenomenal. The report segments the analysis into three sub-sectors within the telecommunications industry: mobile or wireless providers, fixed-line providers, and peripheral manufacturers.
