This document discusses potential scenarios for life in the year 2020 related to technology and society. It explores critical uncertainties around user preferences, network evolution, device evolution, and the relationship between network and service providers. Two scenarios are presented:
1) "Brands and Pipes" - A scenario where few large operators cost-effectively provide basic network connectivity while large "branded" providers offer lifestyle services independently.
2) "User Choice" - A scenario where users have choice in their network, devices, and services and can customize their experience based on their preferences and lifestyle.
The document uses these scenarios to challenge assumptions about the future and spark creativity and discussion around different possible futures in 2020 related to technology trends
The document discusses connecting devices in the home using machine-to-machine (M2M) technology. It notes that over 50 billion devices are expected to be connected by 2020, including devices in homes for services like smart meters, appliances, assisted living, and energy management. While technologies like WiFi and powerline solutions can connect some devices, no single technology is suitable for all applications due to factors like device power usage, coverage, and privacy concerns. A new technology called Hanadu aims to provide whole-home coverage using powerlines while addressing these limitations.
The document discusses predictions for technological changes between 2012-2030 and their effects on society. It predicts that by 2030, cities will be highly intelligent with connectivity and sensing capabilities embedded everywhere. This will fundamentally change how people live and work. To realize this vision, foundational technologies need to be developed now in areas like smart manufacturing, energy efficiency, transportation, healthcare and more. Exponential data growth is also expected, driven by more connected devices predicted to reach over 60 billion by 2030. Societal changes from these technological advances include new models for education, government services and social inclusion.

Cloud-Computing and Energy Efficiency an holistic approach.Cisco Russia
This document discusses the benefits of cloud computing and energy efficiency in data centers. It notes that cloud computing allows for increased server utilization through virtualization and consumption-based pricing, which impacts providers' revenues. The cloud relies on 100% uptime, security, and efficient data centers to handle the growing amount of data and applications. Adopting cloud computing and improving data center efficiency can help reduce costs through better optimization and utilization of IT assets.
The Study Groups of ITU’s Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) assemble experts from around the world to develop international standards known as ITU-T Recommendations which act as defining elements in the global infrastructure of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Standards are critical to the interoperability of ICTs and whether we exchange voice, video or data messages, standards enable global communications by ensuring that countries’ ICT networks and devices are speaking the same language.
International ICT standards avoid costly market battles over preferred technologies, and for companies from emerging markets, they create a level playing field which provides access to new markets. They are an essential aid to developing countries in building their infrastructure and encouraging economic development, and through economies of scale, they can reduce costs for all: manufacturers, operators and consumers.
From its inception in 1865, ITU-T has driven a contribution-led, consensus-based approach to standards development in which all countries and companies, no matter how large or small, are afforded equal rights to influence the development of ITU-T Recommendations. From its beginnings as a body standardizing international telegraph exchange, through its formative role in telecommunications, and in today’s converged ICT ecosystem, ITU-T has provided the world’s best facilities to the global standardization community and remains the world’s only truly global ICT standards body.
Based at ITU’s headquarters in Geneva, the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB) provides secretariat support to ITU-T Study Groups through sophisticated electronic working methods and state-of-the-art facilities in Geneva accommodating the six official languages of the Union – Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. Headed by an elected official with the title Director, it is the body responsible for providing cohesion to ITU-T’s standards development process.
