Deloitte predicts that global sales of key devices that make up the converged living room (smartphones, tablets, PCs, TVs, video game consoles) will reach $750 billion in 2014, up from $700 billion in 2013. However, growth rates are slowing and revenues are expected to plateau at around $800 billion annually by 2018 as individual categories mature. Factors like lengthening upgrade cycles for smartphones and saturation of the TV market will constrain growth. While smartphones and tablets will continue to see increases, their revenue growth will also decline. Combined, these five categories of connected devices have driven a virtuous circle of technology improvements and cost reductions, but appear to be approaching the limits of that cycle for now.
This document discusses trends and predictions for communication technology over the next decade.

OgilvyRED - Dollars and Sense of ConnectivityOgilvy
Mobile connectivity has the potential to provide significant economic and social benefits globally, but its impact depends on factors like infrastructure development and affordability. The mobile connectivity ecosystem involves infrastructure providers (carriers), services/content providers, and consumers. While carriers play a pivotal role by operating networks, the benefits are not evenly distributed. In developed nations, higher bandwidth enables services like video streaming but in developing areas, basic connectivity can improve access to information, resources and opportunities that positively impact areas like health, education and economic growth. Ensuring widespread affordable access remains an ongoing challenge.
The document discusses the rise of mobility and smartphones. It notes that smartphones have surpassed PCs as the primary way people access the internet and that mobility is the fastest growing segment of technology. Smartphones have changed how we live, work and play by giving us constant access to information, social media, games and more through our mobile devices. The rise of high-speed networks, social media, video and improved mobile devices continues to fuel rapid adoption of smartphones and mobile technology.

WiFi Offload Strategy for Telcos-OperatorsGreen Packet
Given the increase in the number of permutations of device and content available out there, a move towards web-based cloud solutions will inevitably form the need for more mobility and efficiency in delivery. This paper will discuss the implications of the emergence of multifunction, multi-radio systems and multiplatform application and services that are driving forward seamless mobility in the pretext of “now” that allows users to transparently access network connections and ensure session persistence across varied connections for consistent experience together.
This document provides an overview of data offloading and discusses the need for seamless mobility across cellular and WiFi networks. It notes that as data usage increases, carriers need solutions to offload data traffic onto WiFi networks to reduce congestion on cellular networks. The document discusses how a client-based solution using mobile IP technology can provide seamless handovers between networks while maintaining session persistence. This allows users to transparently access different network connections and have a consistent experience. It argues that such a solution provides benefits like improved quality of experience for users and increased efficiency for carriers in managing network traffic and resources.

IBM Vision on a Smarter City-17iunie2010Agora Group
1) Cities will increasingly determine the success or failure of our planet as more people live in cities. By 2050, 70% of the world's population will live in cities.
2) Smarter cities can infuse intelligence into core systems like transportation, healthcare, public safety, government services, and energy/utilities to improve services, experiences, and outcomes while lowering costs.
3) By instrumenting systems, interconnecting people and devices, and adding intelligence, cities can tackle challenges like traffic, disease, crime, and resource management in new, proactive ways.
The document discusses the web browser industry. It provides an overview of the industry structure and key players like Internet Explorer and Firefox. It analyzes factors like demographics of Indian internet users, usage patterns, and success factors for browsers. Porter's Five Forces model is applied, examining rivalry, barriers to entry, and other forces. The future of the industry is promising as internet access increases in India through various technologies and policies.
In the past 15 years technology has changed in ways that no one could have foreseen. Now, with the convergence of the mobile Web and touch screen technology we’re embarking on another journey into the unpredictable.
However If we’re all heading in the same direction why not make use of the hive mind to prepare ourselves? We asked some leading industry thinkers what they thought. To make it easier to digest, we’ve grouped these thoughts in to common themes.
Can india lead the mobile internet revolutionbrandsynapse
1) India has an opportunity to become the world's first truly mobile digital society and lead a global revolution, as the elements are in place for widespread mobile internet access.
2) While India has the 4th largest number of internet users, adoption is relatively low, and mobile internet use especially so. However, Indian consumers have a large appetite for digital content through offline channels.
3) If India can address challenges around access, infrastructure, and relevant local content, its number of internet users could increase over fivefold to 450 million by 2015, with the majority using mobile, representing a large market opportunity. But this requires unprecedented cooperation between public and private sectors.
This white paper discusses communications networks from 2010 to 2020. It predicts that over the next decade, networks will evolve significantly to connect everyone and everything everywhere through intelligent, high-bandwidth, and mobile networks. Key developments include networks becoming more application-aware and self-healing, the widespread adoption of 4G wireless providing broadband speeds, and the transition to delivering all services over the cloud. By 2020, all devices, systems, and appliances will be connected through purpose-built networks, creating a hyper-connected environment.
