But there are tectonic shifts taking place in the ecosystem this year, and

      Mobile advertising is for real, money will be made and winners will emerge. That’s a reliable prediction. And mobile advertising will find itself increasingly relevant as it works its way into many different types of content, from banners, text trailers, mobile video, LBS, and even worked its way into voice recently.

      With the downgrading of banners, the future advertising successes will increasingly depend on context, and a mobile phone is a great device for surmising the “presence” state of

      Mobile telecom networks have been built with the same basic topology since their emergence in the late 80s, with towers erected at the center of (hopefully) overlapping cells. Through the 90s networks were expanded for better coverage, and afterwards expanded for better capacity, but after almost 20 years, the same basic architecture still rules. But it’s different in the advanced markets of Korea and Japan, where repeaters and picocells rule the day, and signals reach even into subway tunnels.

Real products launched into the market don’t just blur the lines between TV and PC, but in fact make it increasingly clear that any screen is fair game for any content, and the service will come from both broadcast, unicast, and from within the home.

That's why industrial users are willing to invest $500B on Industrial IoT (IIoT) solutions by 2020. Join this month to meet startups, demos, case studies, and experts in the IIoT segment.

            In the Internet of Things, a robot can be a connected "thing" and controlled from the Internet. But it gets much more interesting when those connected robotics establish connections with other "things." From there, imagine those connections extending from Local Area to Wide Area connections. Despite technical issues, the integration of robots within the IoT can offer great advantages in many fields, and both entrepreneurs and investors are committed to this segment.

            Open source platforms and technologies may have significant impact on the cost of operating telecom networks. Besides potentially lowering the cost to a point where rural coverage makes sense, open source can take full advantage of white box trends, virtualization, and software-defined networking to reduce the cost and OpEx of a fixed and cellular network for deployment in underdeveloped regions, and could possibly bleed back into conventional markets.

MEC is being used in large public events, for automation, for content and media, for core bandwidth reduction, and for low-latency services.
