Since 1985, CTIA has tracked the evolution of the U.S. wireless industry with a comprehensive annual survey. Our 2019 Annual Survey report provides an in-depth look at the facts and figures that tell the story of America’s wireless industry.
The story of the past year begins with unprecedented consumer demand.
In 2018, wireless use was up across nearly every metric we track—from voice minutes, to text messages, to data use.
CIO Council's White Paper: Networks of the FutureNeil McDonnell
The Innovation Committee of the Chief Information Officers Council put out this white paper to provide Federal Government CIOs insight into the next generation of network technologies and how they will impact agencies.
Neil McDonnell and the GovCon Chamber of Commerce is bringing this document to industry as part of our commitment to find and share information that will help small businesses better prepare to serve the federal market.
CIO’s are gearing up to unlock their Big Data value to gain actionable insights and fuel the Digital Transformation journey. Here are some facts that illustrate how Big Data is getting bigger.
By 2020, a projected 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet, storing and transmitting massive amounts of data in real-time. This is the "Internet of things". From connected cars to smart thermostats, consumers and businesses alike are rushing into new technologies that improve the way in which they live and operate.
With businesses across all sectors seeking new ways to adopt technologies that improve efficiency, legislators and regulators continue to identify and grapple with public policy concerns. The benefits are real –a projected global worth of more than $6 trillion – but balancing privacy protections with restraints on innovation are less certain.
Mobile broadband services are undergoing a period of dramatic growth causing a tremendous increase in data traffic. This rising tide of traffic is being driven by the growing number of mobile subscribers, particularly smartphone users, who are connecting to faster networks and consuming bandwidth-hungry video content.

Six in ten people in Asia Pacific subscribed
to mobile services in 2015
At the end of 2015, 62% of the population in Asia
Pacific (2.5 billion individuals) subscribed to mobile
services. The region’s four dominant markets
– China, India, Indonesia and Japan – together
accounted for more than three-quarters of the
region’s total subscriber base. Growth rates in the
region are set to remain above the global average,
with Asia Pacific adding more than 600 million new
subscribers by 2020. The focus of growth will shift
to South and South-East Asia; India alone is set to
add just under 250 million new subscribers by the
end of the decade.
Digital technology is evolving rapidly, leading to the
emergence of new services and applications that

Verizon Communications Inc, Industry External AnalysisMaximilian Mirra
My team and I conducted an industry analysis for our client, Verizon Communications Inc. Within the report we have used tools such as Porter's 5 forces, Strategic Group Maps, and used Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to asses the overall attractiveness of the industries Wireless Telecommunications and Internet Service Providers (ISP).
The deployment of 5G has the potential to facilitate and accelerate the digitalisation of society. By enhancing existing mobile and fixed communications services and enabling a range of new solutions (e.g. augmented/virtual reality, analytics supported by artificial intelligence), it promises to have significant impact on consumer experiences, business processes and operator revenue models. This white paper gives operators an overview of the key business and technology drivers of 5G maturity, which emerged from the study, and recommendations for how to adopt the best practices of the 5G leaders. This will be a valuable tool to help them to assess how far their plans are focused on the right drivers, and how to improve their current business and technology maturity to achieve the best results from 5G.
US groups emerge as the driving force behind the increasing internationalisation of the European television sector. The following report looks at this particular development through three different angles. The first focuses on the concentration and fragmentation tendencies in the various European national audience markets, identifying the contraction of audience shares among top players and an audiovisual market characterised by a large number of TV channels with relatively small market shares. The second angle looks at the market power of non-domestic TV channels in national markets, noting the extent to which foreign groups exert considerable market power in a majority of European countries. The third angle highlights the growing footprint of US groups in the European audiovisual sector by tracking the broadcasting activities of the major groups and comparing their European audience market shares across the various markets.
The world is poised on the brink of the 5G revolution. We're already seeing early commercial launches in leading mobile regions. While the majority of operators in mature markets are planning to upgrade in the next couple of years, 5G is likely to take several years to reach the average consumer, due to spectrum availability and the sheer time and costs involved in rolling out the next generation of mobile networks.
As market after market switches on 5G, we are at a truly momentous point in time. No previous generation of mobile technology has had the potential to drive economic growth to the extent that 5G promises. It goes beyond connecting people to fully realizing the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Over the past decade, numerous discussions
have highlighted the essential role that
Internet connectivity plays in driving
fundamental changes in economic and social
development.
This paper presents new data on
existing levels of service in LMICs
and the policy and regulatory
steps that governments and their
partners can employ to improve
the quality of those services. It
represents the first in a series of
research designed to understand
what constitutes meaningful
access, i.e., the level of service
quality needed for people to access
the internet in a way to improve
their lives. Further research on this
issue will be published in 2019.
Technology is promising more advantages than ever before. People want things to be cheaper, faster, more convenient and
delivered to their doors at no extra cost.
Since its inception in 2010, the UN Broadband
Commission has united global leaders
from industry, policy circles and academia
in a mission to connect the world. Today,
almost half of the world’s population uses
the Internet for many purposes, including
education, entertainment, civic engagement
and e-commerce, while nearly a third
use social media. According to recent
statistics, the milestone of half the world’s
population online will soon be reached,
representing a momentous achievement.
In its third year, the programme seeks to identify how innovation is driving opportunities for content owners and service providers around the world as they face a disrupted market. The findings are based on extensive regional research conducted in Europe, North America, with a special focus on the United States, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
De acuerdo con el Informe Video 360 2018 de Nielsen, 66 por ciento de la población estadounidense paga por un servicio de suscripción de video bajo demanda (SVOD, por sus siglas en inglés).
The amount of time individuals spend with social networks continues to increase, especially with the proliferation of newer platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. US adults averaged approximately 51 minutes of daily time with social networks
in 2017. eMarketer has curated this Roundup of articles, insights and interviews to help you reach social media users effectively.
Using proven science to understand consumer media behavior is something Nielsen is unrivaled at doing. This is especially true when we look at shifting behaviors beyond the here and now.

Audio plays an important role in the daily lives of hundreds of millions of Americans, and that listening audience is as varied and diverse as our nation. Music and talk entertainment, news and information, podcasts, details of cultural and community importance; all of this audio-based content is available on multiple platforms and devices as the listening landscape continues to grow.
Broadband Internet offers significant benefits for Least Developed Countries (LDCs), as a transformational tool to help overcome their vulnerabilities, grow their economies and enhance the livelihoods of their citizens. As the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda notes: “The spread of information and communications technology and global interconnectedness has great potential to accelerate human progress...”. This report reviews experiences leveraging broadband infrastructure for development in four LDCs: Cambodia, Rwanda, Senegal and Vanuatu.
The aim of this study is to explore the impact of different technical solutions for Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) communication solutions on EU road safety over time. Three different communication solutions are assessed independently and consist of:
- Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication based on the evolved LTE technology as defined by 3GPP (a global cellular specifications body), divided into two solutions:
o LTE-PC5: Communication solution that uses direct-mode communication between vehicles, road users and infrastructure operating in ITS bands (e.g. ITS 5.9 GHz)
independent of cellular network; o LTE-Uu (cellular): Network-based communications interface (Uu) operating in the
traditional mobile broadband licensed spectrum;
- 802.11p1 a Wi-Fi technology that supports Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications based on IEEE 802.11p and uses direct-mode communication operating in the ITS band of 5.9 GHz.
In 2017, the global recorded music market grew by 8.1%. This was the third consecu- tive year of global growth and one of the highest rates of growth since IFPI began tracking the market in 1997. Revenues increased in most markets and in eight of the global top 10 markets.
Most companies, governments and organizations are still woefully unprepared for what’s coming next in mobile. Sooner than you think, almost everyone on Earth will be connected
to everyone else. Everyday objects
are already being connected to form a vast Internet of Things. Our world has become an expanding ecosystem of people, devices and systems – soon to be turbocharged with near zero-latency 5G. If you think mobile has changed everything already, you haven’t seen anything yet.
In this brief report we have ranked the Global Top 100
companies by market capitalisation and highlighted the
major trends since 2009 as they emerged from the global
financial crisis.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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. Since 1985, CTIA has tracked the evolution of the U.S. wireless industry with a
comprehensive annual survey. Our 2019 Annual Survey report provides an in-depth
look at the facts and figures that tell the story of America’s wireless industry.
The story of the past year begins with unprecedented consumer demand.
In 2018, wireless use was up across nearly every metric we track—from voice
minutes, to text messages, to data use.
Wireless has never played a more central role in how we live, work, and play.
To meet this demand for everything wireless and prepare for the needs of
tomorrow, the industry increased their capital investment in 2018—expanding their
networks’ capabilities, deploying more cell sites, and launching the next generation
of wireless. 5G’s speed, capacity, and responsiveness are poised to transform our
industries and the way we connect with the world around us.
While America’s wireless industry is leading the way on 5G, we need policymakers
to make more spectrum available for commercial wireless use and continue to
ease barriers to 5G deployment. Unlocking more spectrum will enable us to meet
tomorrow’s demand for wireless services and continue our global wireless leadership.
Executive Summary

growth in
mobile data
use from 2017
to 2018.
Mobile data use nearly doubled in one year.
3. Wireless data puts the internet in the palm of our hand and allows us to access
nearly anything or anyone on the go, and its tremendous value to consumers shows
no signs of slowing. This year, we saw mobile data grow by 12.89 trillion MBs to a
total of 28.58 trillion.
That’s an over 82 percent increase in the last year alone and is more data than
was used in the first six and a half years of this decade—combined. In fact, data
use is up over 73x since 2010.
Wireless data use almost
doubles in just one year.

Fortnite for 1,906 hours.
= 388B MBs OF DATA
4. While much of today’s wireless communication is now wireless data, the number of
voice calls and traditional text messaging grew over the past year too.

5. Americans continue to
connect more devices—
and not just smartphones.
This growth in voice calls, texts, and data is driven in part by the increasing number
of wireless devices in the U.S. In 2018, Americans connected another 21.5 million
mobile devices for a total of 421.7 million devices.
This tremendous growth in data is also being driven by the increasing number
of data-only devices, like connected cars, smartwatches, and health monitors.
These devices, connected by wireless networks, jumped over 10 percent this
year to 139.4 million devices.
And on average,
smartphones
generated 6.6 GB of
data per month.

6. This story of growth is made possible because of the industry’s continued investment
in infrastructure, technology, and people.
To power this growth,
America’s wireless industry
increased investment.
Since the launch of 4G in 2010, the industry has made over $253 billion in
capital investments. This year, the industry’s investments increased $1.8 billion to
a total of $27.4 billion.
Much of this investment goes toward expanding the capacity and coverage of
wireless networks and upgrading their technology to support 5G, including
through increased infrastructure deployment.
In 2018, 349,344 cell sites were in operation—up 8 percent.
This investment also helps wireless providers innovate to create better products
and services for our customers. For instance, wireless providers continue to
invest in improving network speeds to support more and more data-intensive
applications—today, consumers benefit from 90 percent faster download speeds
than just five years ago.
In addition to this investment in their networks, wireless providers also directly
employed 206,855 people in 2018. Wireless jobs are good jobs, paying over fifty
percent more than the average wage in the United States.

7. Beyond this direct investment in networks and people, the wireless industry
invests in the American economy and contributes to the U.S. government too.
America’s wireless industry supports over 4.7 million jobs and contributes
$475 billion annually to the economy. And since the first spectrum auction in 1994,
we’ve contributed over $116 billion to the U.S. Treasury through investment in
spectrum licenses.
Supporting the wireless
needs of tomorrow.
And these investments are just the beginning. Looking ahead, 5G promises to
contribute even more to America’s economic success story. Wireless providers are
starting to invest a projected $275 billion to deploy 5G, creating three million jobs
and adding $500 billion to U.S. GDP.
But to realize 5G’s potential and meet tomorrow’s wireless needs, we need
policymakers to act to free up key low-, mid-, and high-band spectrum. More
spectrum will unleash additional economic benefits too.
Taking steps to unlock more spectrum and support 5G networks will help us continue
the success story of wireless in the United States—one that is built on investment,
innovation, and global leadership.
