This document discusses the growth of connectivity and the networked society. It predicts that by 2018 there will be over 9 billion mobile subscriptions, 850 million PCs and tablets, and 3.3 billion smartphone subscriptions. The networked society empowers people through connectivity, drives business and entrepreneurship through new models, and transforms society by reducing costs and increasing access. Ericsson is positioned to help with network development, services, and research to support and understand this transformation.
