Size Matters: A Look into Animals' LifespansScott Reed
Canines and felines, tortoise and mice: Scott Reed DVM looks at the reasons why some animals live dozens of years longer than others. Usually, it's based off their size.
However, scientists don't always understand why large dog breeds are prone to more health problems and live shorter lives than smaller breeds. Small dogs, like a miniature poodle or chihuahua, can survive up to twenty years. A big Bernese Mountain Dog or German Shepherd will often faces health complications before it hits its tenth birthday. Hopefully, science is catching up, and we may soon expect to have these beloved creatures in our lives more much longer.

IoT is predicted to be the huge industry with billions connected devices and enormous volume of data generated. Even Big Data will not be big enough if it is not for IoT. Telecommunication industry is destined to play some role here and this role will certainly be opening the gates to the Internet for a massive number of sensors, objects and devices. However, it is expected that connection part of the IoT value chain would vary from 0 to mere 10 percent leaving the largest portion of created value to other industry players. CSPs are definitely in the show but are the last and the least in the guest list.
Not all opportunities gone, though, and some telecommunication majors transform the business and sophisticate the product lineups to capture more value going forward. There is still time for many CSPs to figure out how to take themselves from M2M mindset into the IoT paradigm through reimagining the business and building the ecosystem before the boat is missed altogether. Where trends are heading to, what products are first to be delivered and where in the value split CSPs can have more impact? I have shared my vision on this matter and would be grateful for receiving any of your thoughts too.

Semiconductor Industry
Intel
Posibility of acquisition of Mediatek
• Chipmaker Intel Corporation (INTC)
should consider acquiring Taiwanese
wireless chipmaker MediaTek within the
next three years for $27 billion, insists
RBC Capital Markets analyst Doug
Freedman. Per Freedman, ARM (ARMH)
chipmaker MediaTek could enable Intel
to ramp up its mobile chip business.
• Freedman reckons that the deal would
create more shareholder value for Intel
by increasing its share of the mobile
system-on-a-chip (SoC) market by up
to 16%. Intel currently holds a 4%
market share in the mobile chips
market. It will also be immediately
accretive to Intel’s earnings per share
and would help curtail the investment
losses that the chipmaker has been
incurring to grow its mobile and
wireless business.
• Intel is investing more than $1 billion
per quarter to grow its ambitious
mobile and communications business.
But it has been suffering heavy losses
in the process. That’s because its chips
are based on x86 architecture that is
less energy efficient than ARM designs.
