The document discusses pricing strategies for LTE and mobile broadband. It questions whether operators capture enough value from mobile broadband and understand data profitability. It suggests moving from quantity-based pricing to quality-based pricing that differentiates on factors like speed, latency, coverage and time. Volume-based pricing is problematic as an economic driver because the same data volumes can require very different network investments. Overall it argues that pricing strategies need to move beyond a sole focus on volume and consider other quality dimensions.

This document summarizes the online advertising industry in the Middle East and North Africa region. It notes that the region has over 337 million people, with over 63 million internet users spending on average over 2 hours per day online. The online advertising market size is estimated to be between $110-130 million in 2010, with search advertising making up over 97% of the market. It provides insights on countries like Saudi Arabia and highlights that queries in Arabic account for over half of all searches in the region. The document also outlines Google's role in connecting consumers to information and marketers to customers across its search and display advertising networks.
The document discusses opportunities for carriers and OTT providers in the changing mobile ecosystem. It notes that OTTs are accelerating changes in user behavior and the shift from voice to data revenues. However, the real threat to core revenues comes from local broadband competition rather than OTTs. While OTTs in voice and messaging represent zero new revenue, the overall OTT model provides opportunities to leverage infrastructure, gain closer access to customers, and offer new services like quality of experience guarantees. Telecom companies need to redefine their core assets and value proposition in order to capture new opportunities in this evolving landscape.
The document is the August 2016 issue of VARINDIA magazine. It contains several articles on technology news and industry events. The main stories covered include Verizon acquiring Yahoo for $4.83 billion, Emerson selling its Network Power business to Platinum Equity for $4 billion, and the 7th Eastern India Information Technology Fair emphasizing the major pain points of Indian SMEs.

Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.

As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
Lecture slide titled Fraud Risk Mitigation, Webinar Lecture Delivered at the Society for West African Internal Audit Practitioners (SWAIAP) on Wednesday, November 8, 2023.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
