Building the internet of things
From the enormous and complex urban transportation system to the mundane bedside reading lamp, every object and system in the world has a story to tell. Now, imagine the globe cloaked by a pervasive electronic nervous system bringing all those stories together so they can be sifted, sliced, diced, aggregated, analysed and acted upon (perhaps all at the same time). It could represent the biggest and most transformational development in IT yet. It's called the Internet of things (IOT) and it's being imagined right now! But the key to the success of the IOT will not be the relatively well-understood machine-to-machine technologies that gather and distribute the data. The key (and the potential gate) is collaboration. Open access and the development of an IOT ecosystem will enable a host of new applications and services, but only if governments, public bodies and corporates the world over realise the benefits of a fully-connected society and play nice to get it. Watch here the Replay: Building the Internet of Things - Part 1. M2M hits critical mass. How huge growth in M2M applications - enabled by pervasive radio and fixed network coverage plus ever-lower component costs - is setting the foundations for an Internet of Things. Participants: Eric Levander: Director Global Accounts Telecommunications, Intel Corporation; Rob Parkes: Global Marketing Director, Internet of Things Growth Programme, Alcatel-Lucent; Gilli Coston: Head of M2M, Telefonica O2 UK. You can find the two other video parts (business models and ecosystem) on www.telecomtv.com/mai

Is HTML5 your new best friend?
HTML5 and other technologies promise to prise applications, content and services away from restrictive proprietary platforms and into the 'open' where network-based cloud service providers can make a meaningful contribution to the value chain. This discussion is about the new roles that await telcos in cloud services and how they might develop their capabilities to play a full and remunerative part. On the mobile side, Web Apps combine a range of technologies and approaches to effectively loosen the grip of the device-specific OS (and the companies that control them, such as Apple and Google) to create a powerful, more 'hybrid' and cloud-dependent app environment. On the wireline side, we're witnessing a high level of investment by service providers to enter the cloud services market by combining the cloud and the network to offer sophisticated SLA, latency and prioritization controls for cloud based applications. How will this all play out? This Main Agenda Interactive panel discussion, sponsored by Alcatel-Lucent, considers the opportunities presented by cloud services for telcos and why the current direction of travel promises to accelerate the development of a vibrant market for telco-delivered cloud services.

The Main Agenda: Are 4G small cells set to transform mobile network economics? Part 1: The Technology
In this first session, the panel discusses the technical underpinnings that, in theory, might enable small cells to make a transformative impact on the mobile industry. By integrating functions on just a few chips to shrink the cost of the femtocell base station, does the industry now have a low-cost small cell capability and how might it use that?

Identity crisis: a year of telco turmoil
Over the past year we have run a whole series of panel discussions on various aspects and issues in telecoms and we have generated a lot of debate and exposed many arguments and points of difference. In this final review of the year we are going to be talking about the big 'why are we all here' (and why are you all there) questions and we're going to pull in summaries of some of the arguments and comments made in the past year of panel discussions to lay out the arguments for each phase of our discussion here. - What is or should be the role of the telecom operator and the network? - On what basis should he or she (nobody has sexed a telecom operator yet) develop relationships with other parts of the broad IT business? - What's the operator of the future going to look like?

Green ICT: is it time to get aggressive about the ICT contribution?
ICT doesn't do things by halves: we boast in multiples. So a halving (or doubling) of anything - cost, memory, processor power, storage, speed - is not that worthy of comment; a ten times improvement just might get some attention. So it's inevitable that as other industries are shaving just a few percentage points off their carbon footprints, we're looking to book 10x, 100x even 1000x and more in reductions on ours. And that's just our starting-point - we have the ability to amplify these advantages by putting our thrifty technology to work to make other technologies, systems and whole sectors thriftier too. So why is ICT still a Cinderella when it comes to climate change policy? Why is 'technology' itself still too often seen as part of the problem instead of a major part of the solution? And what should we be doing to change things. Discuss…

Collaboration, Syndication and Outsourcing: is this the future for ICT? - Part 2
It's a trend that many industries experience as they mature. Viewed in one way it looks like specialisation. Instead of each player doing every task, some tasks get passed out to specialists or partners with the result that they are done better/cheaper for all the players involved. Everyone's a winner. Collaboration, syndication and outsourcing are all species of this imperative - they all involve going 'outside' the organisation and yielding control in return for lower cost and/or better quality. Instead of being steadfastly vertically integrated, players start to look horizontally specialised. And then as the trend grows across the sector it becomes difficult for any one player to remain vertically integrated and competitive at the same time. So how far has ICT in general and telecoms in particular gone down this path? How horizontal can the industry become and what might stand in the way? Discuss...

Mobile TV: is it all going over the top?
It was - and still is - supposed to be one of the big money-spinners for mobile operators: video content either streamed via broadband, bounced from satellites or broadcast from terrestrial towers as mobile TV. It's an uneasy fit: there's the small screen, the incompatible technologies, the reduced battery life and that's even before we start worrying about the business models. And now it feels that the application itself is drifting away. With video content increasingly enjoyed in chunks rather than in channels, and with the arrival of a new generation of mobile 'tablets' is the whole concept of 'broadcast' mobile TV now in need of a re-think? Are we looking at an 'over the top' video world where the viewer, not the broadcaster, lines up the programmes? Discuss…

Neutrality and positive network economics: are the two mutually exclusive? - Part 3
SECTION 3: Neutrality rules are somewhat inevitable, but what are the principles underpinning the regulation of applications? For network neutrality proponents it's simple: the Internet is what it is because it's open. The outlawing of traffic discrimination based on source, type or destination keeps it that way. Everyone pays an ISP to connect, ISPs peer and traffic roams free - no whitelists, no blacklists, no arguments. But many network operators say this model won't cut it. If third party players are to dominate in network services and applications, then extra money has to find its way back to the network operators to compensate, especially in mobile. So, do we need to identify the 'providers' on the Internet and have them pay more? Discuss…

TelecomTV Resolutions Session 1 (Asia): Getting down to work with the Cloud
Clearing the fog to see the Cloud: The Cloud has been described as a ‘once in a generation opportunity’ but for whom? Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service or Software as a Service? Or all three? This panel discussion will focus on why 'Cloud' is not just ASP (applications service provision) or SAAS (software as a service) or any other acronym recycled. Cloud might involve these sorts of arrangements but goes further to define a new way of both using and offering IT as a set of functions rather than as a collection of boxes. As such it causes a ripple of responsibility-change, both within and between players. Cloud involves technology, but it's really about culture. So who's doing what? What are the different business models at play and who is playing with them? What are the different types of vendors now in the field and how are the opportunities being seized. We tend to think of cloud as a technology being used differently. In fact, aren't the challenges and issues really about corporate 'culture', not technology? About moving on and up to sell and/or buy services not boxes and raw functions?

It might just be the most successful confidence trick in comms history. The open smartphone software and services ecosystems - such as those formed around iPhone, Blackberry and Android - have certainly helped create a highly competitive and innovative environment to attract new and enthusiastic mobile users, but as these platforms become more and more successful where does the value go? Arguably it flows upstream to the third party content and services providers, leaving the network operator struggling on ever-tighter margins in the connectivity tier below. And the open smartphones - with their ability to offer over the top messaging - also challenge the operators' huge existing SMS and MMS revenues.
