Event: GSC-11 Chicago Date: May 29, 2006 Slide 4 The major trends at a glance  Advance of the Internet The Internet has become a mass medium and IP the leading network protocol.  Advance of mobile communication Communication via mobile radio networks is still increasing enormously.  Bandwidth evolution The available bandwidth is exploding and the prices for bandwidth decrease dramatically.  Convergence of digital industries The converging digital industry brings together parts of the consumer electronics communication, information technology, media and entertainment industries.  Advance of e-commerce E-commerce changes and amends business processes tremendously.  Deregulation and globalisation The I&C markets move fast. Competition and differentiation are driven by deregulation and globalisation.  Services and applications are key The end user is interested in services and applications only, the underlying technology is not relevant to her or him.  Reduced cost/bit Mobile Internet subscribers Mobile subscribers Subscriptions worldwide (millions) Mobile Fixed Mobile Internet Fixed Internet Source: WWRF
