The Rise of Smartphones & the Mobile Internet: A Double Edged Sword?

The advent of smartphones and high speed mobile broadband networks has led to a dramatic uptake from consumers in mobile internet services. While this obviously leads to increased data revenues from operators, smartphones and the arrival of Internet business models also bring a series of challenges and threats to the established order. The growth in traffic threatens to overwhelm networks, while the costs of delivering this data tsunami may not be matched by operator revenues. Expensive 4G networks alone will not provide the answer. It is not just mobile operators that need to be ready. All parts of the mobile value chain including device manufacturers, content companies and software providers must be prepared. Find out more by joining this free-to-attend webinar.

Multimedia Home Gateways 2012, London

Following on from last year's successful debut, CSI magazine will be organising and hosting a second conference dedicated exclusively to the home gateways. This remains one of the only events in the calendar that objectively and independently analyses the value of these devices - for consumers and the industry ecosystem - and their future potential. On the one hand, the connected home is becoming a reality, on the other, the proliferation of internet enabled devices, OTT services and cloud-based systems are putting an increasing question mark over operator controlled set-top boxes, Walled Gardens and other traditional broadcast and telco approaches. The emergence of home gateways has to be placed inside this context, which this summit will critically evaluate.
