CONNECTING THAILAND'S DIGITAL ECONOMY | Unused Spectrum Capacity, MVNOs and D...YOZZO
This paper, highlights the vast unused telecom network capacity set aside for Mobile Virtual Network Operators #MVNO in Thailand, due to reluctance from the mobile network operators, AIS, Dtac and True, to accept these on their networks.
The introduction of MVNOs in Thailand six years ago has not succeeded in laying the foundation to ensure innovation, the achievement of the broader industry and national economic objectives. The MVNOs has been tethered with the legacy infrastructure and thinking behind the conventional mobile operator services.
However, there are lessons to be learned, and first lesson is - a new approach is needed.
Therefore, we suggest a few additions to the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission’s (NBTC) notification regarding network capacity and obligations for Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) in Thailand.
We also propose a one-stop shop, who acts as an enabler for the digital economy, MVNO / M2M / IoT service providers, e.g. matching the demand, with the supply of unused MVNO capacity from the telecom operators, and thereby creating a win/win for all stakeholders in the ecosystem.

Analysys Mason - the opportunity for LPWA solutionsTom Rebbeck
These slides, taken from our report, explore the market opportunity for LPWA solutions. The full report can be found at http://bit.ly/1uynFVO
Telecoms operators and vendors are exploring alternatives to traditional cellular technology to address the specific needs of machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) services.
These technologies – called low-power, wide-area (LPWA) solutions – have three main advantages over the traditional networks:
lower cost: the target is produce modems for less than USD5
battery powered: the aim is to get 10 years of service from one AA battery
strong propagation: LPWA will have greater propagation than traditional cellular.
These characteristics open up markets for which traditional cellular technology is unsuitable – for example, where high module costs made the business case unviable or for devices that do not have a permanent power source, such as water meters.
We believe that LPWA services can target a market of more than 3 billion M2M connections worldwide by 2023, and generate over USD10 billion from connectivity revenue alone.
5G Certification, A New Chapter in Human DevelopmentTonex
Last update: Feb 6, 2021
An ongoing Forbes article underscored the significance of organizations enormous and little to be ready for 5G network. The most talked about advantage of 5G network is speed. Where 4G has download rates of around 20Mbps, 5G is required to 500 to 1500 Mbps as it so happens even before 5G foundations are finished.
Important commercial applications related to 5G speed factors include:
Mobile AR shopping experience will revolutionize the retail industry
Usher in self-driving cars
Focus on unprecedented automation in manufacturing
Change the healthcare industry and create new business opportunities, including telecommunications companies, application developers, pharmaceutical companies, wearable device manufacturers, government medical institutions, and insurance companies
In addition to obtaining 5G training, experts suggest that companies now start budgeting 5G investments and strengthening big data analysis.
Companies need to make sure that they have the right data analysis tools to gather insights from the data coming through the growth of automation and artificial intelligence (AI).
When it comes to artificial intelligence, it is generally believed that 5G architecture has its speed and near-zero latency, and will usher in a generation of machine learning and AI applications, which will change the way enterprises rely on mobile networks.
Therefore, companies should work with engineers to reassess the areas of operation where machines can be automated and machine learning/AI can be applied.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
