The next big opportunity for the wireless and mobile industry is to develop a 4G solution, combining mobile technologies and wireless technologies to address markets such as wireless data, telemetry, RFID and a range of new personal broadband services that will emerge around this 4G concept. I predict that 3G and HSDPA are just stepping stones to a deployment of true wireless broadband in late 2007. Will Super 3G (100Mb/s) here finally merge with WiMAX ?

The first result from the convergence between telecoms, media and IT developments is the arrival of the new Digital Media. Led by the Internet, a new range of Internet Media is developing and these in turn are stimulating other industry sectors to also change their business models to better align them with the new emerging Internet economy. For this to happen it is essential that we have open networks. The success of the Internet shows the way forward here.

All around the world countries are recognising the fact that their national telecommunications infrastructure is vital to the national interest – both socially and economically – and, in light of this, governments are increasing their involvement in telecommunications infrastructure. A large part of this infrastructure exists as a natural monopoly, and government policies and regulations need to be adjusted to reflect that reality. Furthermore, a significant section – around a third – of the infrastructure resides in areas where it will not be economically viable to upgrade the existing copper-based infrastructure to a fibre-based information highway. It is important that governments take the lead in addressing this issue.
