This document discusses strategies for bridging the digital divide in Asia through next generation networks and Hotspot 2.0 technology. It notes that Asia will be home to the majority of the world's population and largest economies by 2020 but also has significant digital divides to overcome, with far more mobile than internet users. Hotspot 2.0 allows for secure, seamless connectivity to wireless networks and could help boost adoption of wireless broadband. The presentation introduces an Indian startup called Airmesh that aims to build India's largest open, carrier-neutral next-generation wireless network using WiFi and Hotspot 2.0 compliant technology to help close connectivity and access gaps across Asia.

This is defined not only by socio-cultural trends but also by the products they consume and the services they use online. It also highlights that Lebanese consumers are active sharers and social participants on the internet, and their consumption behaviors are being shaped by the internet and mobile apps. Mobile broadband ownership in Lebanon is also higher than the global average.

The indigenous Telecoms, Internet, Media & Edutainment (TIME) sector
has grown its international footprint over the last six years. The continued adoption of high-speed internet (fixed and mobile) as a direct channel opens up a significant revenue opportunity.
India telecom revenues is primarily driven by voice which constitutes to 90% of total revenues leaving only a smaller portion for data. Aegis LeadCap Research & Consulting predicts that in next 5 years share of revenue from voice will reduce down to 60% from its current state of 90%. 40% revenue from data also includes the revenue from BWA service providers like Reliance Infotel, Tikona etc. Most prominent value add services which drives data revenues include mobile internet, mobile broadband, games, location based services, video calls, mobile adverts, music, video and mobile TV.

<a> Mera Digital India</a>
Digital India is a campaign launched by the Government of India to ensure that Government services are made available to citizens electronically by improving online infrastructure and by increasing Internet connectivity or by making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology. Digital India was launched by Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister on 2nd July 2015 with an objective of connecting rural areas with high-speed Internet networks and improving digital literacy i.e. the knowledge, skills, and behaviors used in a broad range of digital devices such as smart phones, tablets, laptops and desktop PCs, all of which are seen as network rather than computing devices. The Digital India Programme aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy by leveraging IT as a growth engine of new India. Even though India is known as a powerhouse of software, the availability of electronic government services to citizens is still comparatively low. The National e- Governance Plan approved in 2006 has made a steady progress through Mission Mode Projects and Core ICT Infrastructure, but greater thrust is required to ensure effective progress in electronics manufacturing and e-Governance in the country. The Vision of Digital India is a power to empower citizens through digital literacy provides the intensified impetus to develop India for a knowledgeable future by developing central technology for allowing revolution which covers many departments under one umbrella programme. This paper is an attempt to study mainly opportunities, impact and challenges of vision of digital India.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

2. Asia: Quick Facts
Asian economies will dominate the list of the biggest economies by
2020.
Majority of world’s population lives here.
The middle-class in Asia (exc. Japan), will rise to 945 million in 2015. To
put that in perspective, this will be nearly three times the population of
USA.
Highly diverse population
• 52 primary languages with 1000+ regional dialects
• 27 currencies with some of the lowest and highest GDPs per capita in the
world
• Very different political and legal systems
3B+ mobile subscribers vs ~1B Internet users
• Majority of Internet usage is mobile
• Prepaid users outnumber postpaid 5-to-1
Feature phone users outnumber smartphone users 4-to-1
• 2.4B+ feature phone users still represents the masses
• Japan and Korea growing fast, but India, China, Indonesia are much slower
• Many countries have limited data plan penetration – even with
smartphones3B+ mobile subscribers vs ~1B Internet users
Credit card penetration is minimal
Customer loyalty for mobile services is the lowest in the world
3. “Asia is the most socially engaged region of the world on the web.
This includes activities like blogging, social networking, social
bookmarking and engaging in social chatter. They carry brands
through their activities and peer-to-peer conversations.”

Internet Penetration Data - 2011
Asian Internet Diversity
The rise of Asia as the main contributor to the
world’s Internet population; 42 percent of the
world’s Internet users live in Asia, and China,
India, and Japan alone host more Internet users
than Europe and North America combined.
Some countries in Asia have a long way to go,
like India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.
On the other side, Japan, Malaysia and South
Korea are clearly the most densely saturated
internet populations
