20140505_How far are we from 4G Mass Market Devices_SL V1Shihab Labib
4G networks saw significant growth and deployment in 2013, but 4G adoption faces barriers before reaching mass market status. While the number of 4G subscribers and devices is increasing, price remains a major factor limiting overall 4G penetration. Younger users in developed countries are more likely to adopt 4G, but older users and those in developing areas will require lower-cost smartphones and networks to drive broader 4G access. Entry-level 4G devices in 2014 could help expand the 4G market beyond early adopters.

Solar PV Flyer - December 15 - update post DECCMichael Chapman
The solar PV market in the UK has grown significantly due to subsidies, but the government is now reducing subsidies dramatically and capping new projects in response to overspending. This is expected to lead to a short-term boom and then an 18-24 month downturn as most projects become unviable. In the long run, solar power costs are projected to fall further and allow recovery of the sector. Manufacturers may be impacted less due to operating globally, but UK installers face difficulties unless diversified.

The company achieved good growth across its divisions and remains on track to meet its cumulative cash and capital generation targets.
- Admiral Group plc reported strong financial results for 2021, with profit before tax increasing 26% to £769 million, driven primarily by strong performance in the first half of the year from the UK motor insurance business.
- UK motor insurance profit increased 28% to £219 million due to higher reserve releases and profit commission, partly offset by higher current year claims.
- International insurance results declined slightly due to a higher loss ratio as the positive impact of Covid was not repeated from 2020.
- Admiral Loans profit improved due to lower credit loss provisions, partly offset by higher acquisition costs from growth.
Copy of presentation from Finance in Cornwall 2011 hosted by Winter Rule on 19 May 2011. This seminar provides a quickstep guide to the finance and support available to SMEs in Cornwall.
Many older people have equity tied up in their homes that could be used to provide them with a greater income in later life and improve their standard of living. Traditionally, the ways to unlock the equity in people’s homes have been through downsizing, equity release lifetime loans or home reversion plans. However, not everyone is in a position to downsize, there are pros and cons to each approach, and all have associated costs.
The Equity Bank would provide a new way for people to unlock the equity in their home. It would be a state agency which provides people with a low cost fixed lifetime income in exchange for a fixed share of the equity in their home. The Equity Bank would take a charge on the person’s home and recover the value of the equity from the person’s estate after their death.
The event was chaired by Baroness Sally Greengross, Chief Executive of the ILC-UK. Nick Kirwan, Director of the ILC-UK Care Funding Advice Network, opened the discussion. Professor Les Mayhew of Cass Business School and co-author of the paper 'The UK Equity Bank - Towards income security in old age' then presented the concept, after which Paul Burstow MP responded. There was then time for questions and a general discussion.
