Strategy Analytics: Mobile Broadband Subscriptions on Tablets to Grow 7x in Next Five Years
Aug. 7, 2012 11:27 AM
Strategy Analytics: The mobile broadband tablet market is heating up,
adding 150 million new data subscriptions in the next five years. By the
end of 2017, tablet subscriptions will reach 172 million worldwide, as
highlighted in Strategy Analytics Mobile Broadband Opportunities (MBO)
service report, “Tablet
Opportunity for Mobile Operators Expanding: Forecasts of Tablet
Subscriptions, Data Traffic, Service Revenues 2010-2017.”
“Less than 13 percent of the global tablet installed base will have
active mobile broadband service in 2012, yet in the US, both AT&T and
Verizon Wireless saw tablets play a key role in net subscriber additions
in Q2 this year,” notes Susan Welsh de Grimaldo, Director, Mobile
Broadband Opportunities (MBO) at Strategy Analytics. She adds, “Service
revenues from tablets will be an important incremental growth source for
mobile operators, with global tablet service revenues reaching US$15
billion in 2017. Multi-device shared data plans and 4G LTE are key
drivers for tablet subscriptions.”
LTE quickly becomes the access technology of choice, accounting for
nearly 68% of mobile broadband tablet subscriptions by the end of 2017,
according to the companion report, “Global
Active Mobile Broadband Tablet Subscription Forecast: 2010-2017,”
which provides tablet forecasts by region and for 37 countries. Average
data traffic per subscription will grow substantially as use of video
intensive services increases. Mobile data traffic from tablets will
surge to more than 2.7 million Terrabytes in 2017, representing an 80.4%
CAGR from 2012.
While the US retains its leadership position as the country with the
most mobile broadband tablet subscriptions, the Chinese market comes in
second and shows rapid expansion. Guang Yang, Senior Analyst, Wireless
Operator Strategies (WOS), recommends, “Despite representing a small
percent of total service revenues, the tablet opportunity is a growth
market that Chinese mobile operators cannot afford to overlook as they
target growth in data revenues and share of consumer wallet.”

Best Recent Articles on Cloud Computing & Big Data Topics  By Jeremy Geelan The Arlington, Virginia-based National Science Foundation has just released its "Report on Support for Cloud Computing" - in response to the America Competes Reauthorization Act of 2010, Section 524.
It is an absolute must-read for all concerned with current and future research projects in Cloud Computing. Reads: 8,360  By Jeremy Geelan "The volume of data we're generating now from machines pales in comparison to the volume of data we'll soon generate from our own bodies," says data security expert Dave Asprey. Writing in a Trend Micro blog, Asprey - who is one of the leaders in the emerging Quantified Self movement - explains his vision of a world in which personal biometrical data is shared via the cloud. Reads: 14,413  By Wolfram Jost Cloud computing has caught the attention of business leaders around the world in every
industry because of its enormous transformative potential. Visionary companies know that
the value of the cloud is far greater than the current focus solely on technology and operating
costs: when combined with a collaborative approach to designing processes, cloud computing
will change how we do business.

Want to understand in just hours what experts have spent many hundreds of days deciphering?
Cloud computing is a technology that has rapidly evolving peppered with a lot of hype along the way. Customers find it hard to navigate through this and make sense of what aspects of this technology will give them real business benefit.
Cloud Computing Bootcamp, led by our 2013 Bootcamp Instructor Larry Carvalho, is a great way to get a practical understanding of this technology. We offer multiple days of actionable insight into what vendor offerings are currently available and help you comprehend their strategy.
The ever-popular Bootcamp, which is now held regularly around the world, is being held in conjunction with the 12th Cloud Expo, June 10-13, 2013, at the Javits Center, New York, NY. Reads: 10,473  By Larry Bettino Did you know that ninety percent of the data in the world has been created in the last two years? Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM.
As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it. Digital companies focused on becoming good at aggregating and analyzing the data created by the end users of their product, who then provide their customers with solid insights taken from that data are at a distinct competitive advantage over others in the marketplace. Reads: 8,296  By Elizabeth White Industry-specific clouds are those PaaS, IaaS, and PaaS services that are tailored for a specific vertical, such as transportation, retail, finance, and health care. IDC sees a $65 billion market in these industry solutions for 2013, rising to $100 billion in 2016.
The value of industry-specific clouds is that businesses within a vertical can connect to applications, processes, and databases that are pre-defined for that vertical within a public or private cloud. They can extend processes and databases into the business domain, versus defining the data and processes within a generic cloud-based platform.
So, are industry specific clouds right for your business? What options are out there? How do you figure out the ROI?

Reads: 45,756  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.

Reads: 2,687  By Liz McMillan One of the most compelling promises of the cloud is that you can pull out a credit card and be working in minutes. No purchase orders to fill out, no equipment to wait for on the loading dock. Just instant access to the resources you need, when you need them. But accessibility comes at a price, and an unintentional consequence may be that you create yet another orphaned identity silo. Enterprise IT has spent years consolidating its mishmash of directories, only to discover that cloud now threatens to turn back their hard-won victories.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Scott Morrison, CTO and Chief Architect at Layer 7 Technologies, will look at strategies to incorporate identity into cloud applications. Enterprise identity or social login can both be a part of your go-to-cloud strategy, but you must plan for this upfront, rather than try to retrofit identity and access control at a later date.

Virtualization Blogs Live By Lori MacVittie  Don and I have four children, all of whom have had the fortune to take piano lessons (I'm not sure if the youngest would agree he's fortunate at this point in his life but at five, he's not really able to answer the question with any degree of wisdom, anyway. Come to think of it, not sure the other three would agree either. I'll have a chat with them next time they're home).
Anyway, most people who play piano understand the concept of "muscle memory". That's what allows me to sit down at a piano, without music, and play. We call it "memorization" but that's not what it is, at least not in th... May. 22, 2013 09:00 AM EDT | By Nicos Vekiarides  Our prior post, A Roadmap to High-Value Cloud Infrastructure: Disaster Recovery and Data Protection, discussed both the benefits and limitations of a cloud-based disaster recovery (DR) strategy. As we highlighted last week, traditional disaster recovery options leave open a huge hole: At one extreme are high-cost, quick recovery time options using hosted or colocation sites and at the other extreme are low-cost, long recovery time options such as tape or disk backup.
As a result, organizations who cannot afford a cold or hot standby site have been left to either cobble together a complicated ... May. 22, 2013 08:45 AM EDT | By Peter Silva  According to a ComputerWorld article citing a recent Gartner survey, about half the world’s companies will stop providing computing devices to employees and embrace some form of BYOD by 2017. They also noted that about 40% will offer a choice between employee owned or company issued while 15% say they will never support BYOD. While most surveyed felt there were benefits to BYOD, only about a quarter (22%) felt they have made a strong business case for it. This might have to do with the fact that many organizations are still in the exploratory process for BYOD and are looking for a mobile st... May. 21, 2013 03:11 PM EDT | By David Deans  Online collaboration has evolved during the last decade, delivering even greater value -- thanks to a new generation of business technology applications. Forbes Insights released "Collaborating in the Cloud," a Cisco-sponsored study examining the ways business leaders increasingly look at cloud collaboration as a way to increase productivity, accelerate business results and enhance innovation across borders and functions.
The research combines a global survey of more than 500 executives with 15 executive interviews.
