Regulatory Environment Mobile Active08 Presentation
This document discusses the regulatory environment surrounding mobile phones in North Africa. It provides data showing that TV, radio, and SMS are more commonly used sources of information than the internet or newspapers in countries like Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia. It also outlines the attitudes of mobile network operators, who see voice as the main business but are starting to recognize the potential of data and content. However, it notes challenges around access to markets and ideas as well as issues of ownership and control over mobile platforms and distribution of content.
Mobile Phone Market
The mobile phone market has changed significantly over time. Providers were able to sign up 15% more customers for every dollar invested in infrastructure compared to only 5% in the past, allowing most providers to profit greatly. This growth in profit led providers to expand operations internationally. The number of worldwide subscribers increased dramatically from 14 million in 1990 to over 1.2 billion in 2005, with the largest growth in Asia and Europe. The document expresses a personal opinion that Verizon Wireless is the best cell phone provider due to its large customer base, limited dead zones, and fast growing 3G network.
4 Billion Nodes
This document discusses the rise of mobile devices and apps. It notes that there are now over 4 billion mobile phone users, with mobile internet usage up 500% since 2007. It also discusses how smartphones can provide the functionality of laptop computers but in a smaller pocket-sized device. The document outlines several categories of mobile apps including those for entertainment, productivity, social networking, remote access and location-based services. It envisions mobile devices and apps being fully integrated into commerce, organizations and people's daily lives.
State of Electronic Media in Pakistan (Contemporary Issues) -ZK
The document discusses the state of electronic media in Pakistan. It notes that there are now 81 local TV channels in Pakistan, up dramatically from just two channels in 1990. Television remains the dominant and fastest growing advertising medium, but most TV channels are operating at a loss due to oversaturation and reliance on advertising revenue without subscription models. The challenges facing the TV industry include having too many channels for the market size, a lack of regulation around licensing and subscriptions, and distribution constraints with cable operators.
The state of electronic media in pakistan
Media in Pakistan provides information on television, radio, cinema, newspapers, and magazines in Pakistan. Pakistan has a vibrant media landscape; among the most dynamic in South Asia. To a large extent the media enjoys freedom of expression in spite of political pressure and direct bans sometimes administered by political stake holders.Political pressure on media is mostly done indirectly. One tool widely used by the government is to cut off ‘unfriendly’ media from governmental advertising. Using draconian laws the government has also banned or officially silenced popular television channels. The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has been used to silence the broadcast media by either suspending licenses or by simply threatening to do so. In addition, media is also exposed to propaganda from state agencies, pressured by powerful political elements and non-state actors involved in the current conflict

IAS__SSA_Telecoms_Report_Sep_2011
This document provides an overview of the telecommunications sector in Sub-Saharan Africa. It discusses key trends in the sector including declining voice revenues as markets mature, increasing competition putting downward pressure on prices, and the major growth opportunity presented by increasing data usage and low levels of internet penetration across the region. It also profiles the operations and performance of several major telecom companies operating in Africa.
Mobile Internet Revolution in Africa
Mobile internet is revolutionizing access in Africa through increased connectivity. Several undersea cables have been laid along the coasts, increasing bandwidth capacity significantly. Mobile phone adoption is also very high, with over 500 million subscribers across the continent. This growing mobile access and connectivity is enabling new services like mobile payments and banking to reach more people, including the poor. Mobile operators are launching innovative services and business models to expand internet access and foster economic opportunities across Africa.
End of Roaming Charges: Lessons from East Africa
Like consumers across the globe, African mobile subscribers have been paying extortionately high charges to make and receive calls when communicating outside of their country of origin, using their domestic mobile service.
This is despite the so called “death of distance” and even when countries were contiguous and the cost of calls could not be very different from the costs of local termination.
This presentation describes the "end of roaming" initiative launched in when 2006 Celtel launched the One Network, a single service across the three East African countries charged at the local rate of origin when travelling in any of the other two countries.
The presentation provides lessons learned, and an overview of the policy and regulatory challenges and opportunities entailed.

Ametw current issue
The document provides mobile network subscriber statistics for South Africa and other African states for the 4th quarter of 2010. It shows the total subscribers and market share for major mobile operators in countries such as Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, and South Africa. Overall, total mobile subscribers across the region grew by 5.4% year-over-year to 63.49 million in Q4 2010. Mobile penetration rates increased from 81% to 85% over the same period.
OTTs - Threat or opportunity for African Telcos
OTTs like WhatsApp and Skype provide an opportunity for African telcos by stimulating data usage and market share, but also pose a threat by reducing voice and SMS revenues. Some telcos have embraced OTTs through zero-rating or bundling, while others argue for regulating them. Case studies of Kenya, Namibia, and South Africa show differing approaches - Safaricom has succeeded with M-Pesa, while Namibia's MTC bundles services and South Africa's dominant operators want OTT regulation. Overall, OTTs can benefit or harm telcos depending on how they are addressed through policies like blocking, embracing, or regulating them.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration.
