What next for the network ... more comment

"Rapid growth in mobile TV services will have a major impact on mobile networks over the next five years as mobile operators are faced with the need to deliver large volumes of high quality mobile TV and video content to the mass market, cost effectively. Dedicated broadcasting technologies, such as DVB-H, DMB and TDtv will be essential to cope with the most popular content, while operators will also need to bolster the capacity of their 3G networks to deliver personalised video-on-demand services, which will be more valuable than simple broadcasting, for example using W-CDMA LTE and CDMA2000 evolution."

Alastair Brydon, CEO, Sound Partners.

“Forget IMS, don't even mention A-IMS, the most dramatic change will only take two letters "IM". The "next generation" users - todays teens and twenties - are already relying on mobile phones and IM, and as IM evolves to include voice and video on an ever more ubiquitous broadband base, the enhanced user experience of presence will make traditional voice a thing of the past. It won’t be complete in five years, but the writing is on the wall.”

Frank Marum, senior analyst, The Diffusion Group.
