The document discusses using call detail records from cell phone networks to identify land use patterns in urban areas. The researchers used k-means clustering on activity signatures from over 1,100 base transceiver stations covering 100 square kilometers to classify areas into 5 main categories of land use: industrial and office, business and commercial, nightlife, leisure, and residential. They validated the classification against land use in Barcelona and believe this method could provide robust land use characterization to help city governments.
1) Regulators are starting to acknowledge that more innovative approaches to spectrum access are needed as exclusive use by mobile network operators limits utilization and investment.
2) Countries are experimenting with different spectrum sharing models between 3.4-3.8GHz to enable new local 5G networks for industrial and business use.
3) Dynamic spectrum sharing could allow a smooth transition between 4G and 5G networks using the same spectrum bands, reducing upgrade costs for mobile operators.
A neutral host plan allows municipalities to directly earn revenue from telecom companies and others deploying 5G infrastructure. It involves the city establishing and enforcing zoning rules requiring all carriers to use specific municipal 5G infrastructure, installing this infrastructure, and then charging fees to carriers for its use. Setting up such a plan requires determining citizen and business support, financial viability, technical requirements, and identifying revenue streams to cover installation, maintenance, and upgrades over many years. The next steps proposed are presenting the plan to stakeholders and surveying public opinion to gauge acceptance and inform developing the optimal 5G deployment strategy for the city.

An Agent-Based Model of Epidemic Spread using Human Mobility and Social Netwo...Enrique Frias-Martinez
An agent-based model is presented that simulates the spread of an epidemic using human mobility patterns and social network data derived from call detail records. The model generates agents to represent individuals, and simulates the spread of a disease between agents based on their mobility between geographical locations and interactions within their social networks. The model is able to measure the impact of government interventions on reducing population mobility and delaying or decreasing the peak of an epidemic curve. Simulations showed that interventions such as alerts and restrictions were able to postpone the epidemic peak by 40 hours and reduce the number infected at the peak by 10%.
Characterizing Social Response to Urban Earthquakes using Cell-Phone Network ...Enrique Frias-Martinez
The data generated by pervasive infrastructures, and
specially cell-phone networks, has been used in the past
to improve responses to emergency events such as natural
disasters or disease outbreaks. However, very little
work has focused on analyzing the social response to
an urban earthquake as it takes place. In this paper
we present a preliminary study of the social response
using the information collected from a cell-phone network
during the 2012 Oaxaca earthquake in Mexico.
We focus our analysis on four urban environments located
between 100-200km away from the epicenter of
the earthquake. The social response is analyzed using
four different variables: call volume, call duration, social
activity and mobility. Initial results indicate a social response
characterized by an increase in the number of
calls, a decrease in call durations, a moderate increase
in the number of people contacted by highly connected
citizens and a moderate increase in the mobility.
This presentation by China Cablecom Holdings contains forward-looking statements about future growth, financial and operating results, and plans that are subject to uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results due to factors like general economic conditions in China, failure to complete acquisitions or achieve cost savings, and regulatory actions. Additional risk factors are described in China Cablecom's SEC filings. The company operates cable TV networks in China and seeks to consolidate the fragmented market through acquiring other operators.

Urban Analysis for the XXI Century: Using Pervasive Infrastructures for Model...Enrique Frias-Martinez
This document discusses using data from pervasive infrastructures to analyze and model urban dynamics in the 21st century. It describes how call detail records from mobile phones can be used to detect hotspots of activity, classify land use, and identify commuting patterns. Hotspot detection identifies concentrated areas of people or activity over time and space using a clustering algorithm. Land use classification analyzes call patterns from different base stations to automatically group areas with similar behavioral signatures, such as industrial, commercial, residential or nightlife areas. Commuting patterns can also be inferred from patterns of calls between areas over time. The document concludes that these kinds of analyses using pervasive infrastructure data can help model urban dynamics in a more cost-effective and flexible way compared
This document discusses using large datasets to analyze and model cities. It notes that for the first time, large-scale human behavioral data is available at varying levels of granularity. This presents both challenges and opportunities to collect real data about human urban behavior. Examples of big data sources mentioned include call detail records and cell phone data, which can be used to characterize land use and estimate commuting patterns. The document also discusses how mobility data could help analyze cities and estimate origin-destination matrices in the event of natural disasters.
Measuring the impact of epidemic alerts on human mobility using cell-phone ne...Enrique Frias-Martinez
Accumulating evidence reveals a strong link between human
mobility and the spread of epidemics. In order to control the spread of an
epidemic, governments can implement mobility restrictions to its citizens. The
effect of such restrictions on the mobility of the population has not been
adequately studied at a large scale mainly due to the lack of relevant data.
Nevertheless, the recent adoption of ubiquitous computing technologies enables
the design of such studies. In this paper we measure the impact that the alerts
issued by the Mexican government had on the mobility of the Mexican
population during the H1N1 flu outbreak in April and May of 2009. The
mobility of individuals was characterized using anonymized Call Detail
Records (CDRs) traces. The results indicate a statistically significant reduction,
of up to 80% in some cases, in the diameter of mobility of individuals.

The telecom market has become saturated with switchers, which means poaching customers from the competition is the only way to survive as a major wireless carrier. Comlinkdata has earned credibility in the telecom market as the leading provider of real-time customer switching data. We have supplemented our core switching data set with a variation of 'sentiment' gleaned from scraping Twitter data. Comlinkdata analysts derive algorithms that extract actionable insights from unstructured Twitter data, helping our customers make critical business decisions. We will touch on an overview of GNIP and how we are constantly streaming in customer conversations on Twitter about switching carriers. We then do basic text matching to assign each tweet with a 'bucket', which provides additional context such as 'data plan', 'phone availability', 'coverage', etc. This data serves as the foundation for our 'Voice of Customer' product, which aims to answer the 'why' behind switching behaviors in the market.

A neutral host plan allows municipalities to directly generate revenue from 5G deployment by telcos and other companies in the region. It involves the city establishing and requiring the use of specific municipal infrastructure for 5G equipment installation, installing this infrastructure, and then charging carriers that use it. A complete plan is needed to install, maintain, and recognize revenue from the infrastructure. The next steps would be a presentation and workshop with stakeholders to determine if this is a viable solution for the city's 5G plan.

s :
The Geographic Information System (GIS) market is evolving from a distinct software market into a decision support technology. The map based visualization and real-time information exchange is transforming planning, research and development, deployment and monitoring.
While a lot of spatial data has been collected, only recently workflow and information management systems are being developed that are able to link and process spatial and non-spatial data for decision support systems.
Government continues be the largest consumer of GIS, for a multitude of applications and e-governance initiatives. Private players in the field of telecom, infrastructure development and retail have also started taking advantage of this technology.
The demand for GIS solutions seems favourable :
(a) … Provide reasons for the demand here.
(b)
(2) TNT Positon of Strength on Cost & Technology Parameters :
One of the biggest selling points for GIS Software as a Service (SaaS) is the potential to reduce IT support costs by outsourcing hardware and software maintenance and support to the SaaS provider. Moving GIS to the cloud is likely to prove more cost effective, flexible, and productive for organizations wishing to rapidly deliver new capabilities. Further, use of open source platforms is desirable as they are more likely to receive software support from multiple vendors.
While the GIS players have mainly used closed-ended platforms of companies like ESRI and Intergraph, that entail upfront high license costs, extensive hardware requirements, require software to be built on the platforms for the end-use requirements. Even then these products have been rigid to use due to the difficulty and limitations in the extent of customization.
TNT on the other hand has leveraged their founders’ extensive domain knowledge to create a proprietary technology platform, which is hosted on a cloud and customized for Asian use in the fields of property tax, water & sanitation, monitoring of structures like dams & bridges and survey of heritage sites. Other modules are being prepared. As these solutions don’t require any licensing cost and minimal hardware requirements, TNT offerings are 35-80% cheaper t ...
