Ericsson Mobility Report, November 2015 – Regional report South East Asia and...Ericsson
In South East Asia and Oceania, urbanization will continue to drive the information and communications technology (ICT) industry. There will be more than 450 million people living in urban areas by 2021, compared to around 400 million today South East Asia and Oceania is a dynamic region for ICT.
Driven by smartphone and mobile broadband growth, internet adoption continues to grow in the region. Australia and Singapore are the leading countries, with internet penetration (mobile and fixed) at over 80 percent.2 In other parts of the region, internet penetration can be expected to continue rising.
Despite smartphone and mobile broadband potential there are still challenges, especially in the region’s developing markets. The next wave of smartphone users are expected to come from rural or remote areas, raising issues on how to bring services to these lower-income populations in a cost-effective way. In order to guarantee a good user experience, mobile operators’ ability to address mobile data growth will be key.
What Do Consumers Want from Public Wi-Fi? Gain Insights from Cisco's Mobile C...Cisco Service Provider
It seems that the iconic “Wi-Fi Here” badge is turning up everywhere these days. Once found on coffee shop windows to indicate that patrons could connect their mobile devices to the Internet, the symbol can now be seen in countless public venues. Wi-Fi can now be found everywhere from retail stores and hotels to airports, doctor’s offices, and even airplanes. Recent Cisco research found that consumers now own an average of three mobile devices each, almost all of which are Wi-Fi capable. ABI Research estimated that there were 4.9 million public hotspots in 2012, which they expect to grow by 30 percent in 2013 to 6.3 million1. It’s no wonder that we are seeing a huge increase in public Wi-Fi hotspots as mobile users look for places to connect their multiple devices when they are away from home or the office.
For many businesses and public locations, providing Wi-Fi to customers has almost become like electricity or water, a cost of doing business. Many service providers are now constructing extensive networks of public Wi-Fi hotspots for use by their mobile or home broadband customers. The intention is to enhance and differentiate their offering, with the goal of retaining their customers’ business. However, very little knowledge is currently available about how consumers are actually using public Wi-Fi and how they view the overall experience. To derive business value from the deployment of Wi-Fi hotspots, businesses and service providers need to better understand how consumers are using public hotspots and what can be done to improve the experience.
To learn more, Cisco conducted a survey of 620 U.S. mobile users to understand their needs and behaviors, current and future use of public hotspots, and unmet demands. The research findings are important, because they can help businesses and service providers understand the size of the opportunity, develop winning strategies, and optimize their Wi-Fi offerings and network deployments to derive greater business value. This document is part of a series presenting 2013 Cisco mobile consumer research findings. Additional white papers cover changing mobile usage and consumer behavior, as well as opportunities in new localized mobile services.
I have for some time worked on training notes (eventually a book) that particular targets the un-initiated or persons / companies interested in understanding how Telco works and thinks. Particular focusing on Economics and Business Models.

Mobile Broadband Contribution to Digital Economy in Thailand.Navneet Madan
Although not at the top of the league in Asia Pacific, ICT Index (IDI ranking) has proved that Thailand has the highest broadband development in the world, having climbed 34 places from 105 in 2012 to 71 in 2014. Like the rest of the globe, the proliferation of internet connected devices has transformed the lives of Thais turning us into very social human beings. While digital economy is the catalyst to economic growth and socio-economic development, it can also play a pivotal role in a country's come back from crisis and analysis from various research has concluded that developing countries stand to gain more from mobile broadband and digital economy. Nevertheless, the role of a regulator in driving a digital ecosystem requires extensive planning in creating an agile but flexible goals making room for new technological advancements and innovation to lead digital economy in the coming future.
This presentation is just phase 1, introducing mobile broadband as a part of digital economy, and I have also provided the kind of positive impact we can see on Thailand's economy and ICT index ranking in the coming future.

OTT traffic has surpassed carrier traffic. Data usage is increasing rapidly. Voice and SMS revenues are declining quickly and data revenue is becoming the major source of revenue for MNOs. In a data-only environment, MNOs need to find mechanisms to drive data demand in order to drive revenues.
Malaysia shows what the data-only world will look like, with Freemium Internet a basic requirement to retain customers. It showed that data revenues continue to grow, and that competitive pressure leads to all operators adopting freemium internet, once one major player has done so. In fact, Aircel and Jio show that Freemium Internet can accelerate data and subscriber growth so much that it has an impact on global traffic growth (Ericsson 2017).
Freemium Internet can also drive non-telco OTTs, such as advertising, mobile money, and e-Government services, using mobile data as a platform. By removing affordability as an obstacle, the number of internet users expands exponentially, enabling the delivery of e-services to all segments of the population, instead of only the (relatively) wealthy.
In comparison to Malaysia, mobile networks in Africa are generally not as technically advanced (smaller 3/4G network coverage, lower smartphone penetration) nor as competitive. Where commercial incentives are insufficient, regulatory and policy incentives can be designed, such as the reduction of licence fees, the allocation of spectrum, and reduced universal service fees. The impact of these incentives would be to dramatically stimulate data demand to the benefit of consumers and MNOs, and have a significantly positive effect on economic growth.

New Applications and New Business Models
Whether it's LTE or WiMAX or local WISPs using combinations of Wi-Fi, WiMAX and other technologies, we are on the verge of having affordable mobile broadband in the US (it's already available in the UK and Scandinavia and becoming available elsewhere in the EU). What services can be provided over the top and what services need or can benefit from operator capabilities (QoS, security, ...)? The iPhone store, Android store and similar initiatives suggest power is shifting away from the operators and into the hands of application developers and the end user. How can operators leverage their core capabilities (QoS, security, billing, customer relationships, call detail, ...) to provide applications and remain relevant to their customers?

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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.
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.

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.
