Theme: Enterprise metamorphosis - under the influence of BYOD, VDI and Cloud.
The workplace is now changing, as employees demand the magic of smart devices to be extended to their daily business. The advent of BYOD is like a river busting its banks when suddenly everything that was restricted before becomes acceptable. Do enterprises fully appreciate the impact of BYOD and VDI? Do Operators have clear vision to understand the end-game? Will those enterprises that do not join in lose out?

Theme: The Broadband Provider as a media impresario
The role of the carrier is changing as more services migrate to the web and their delivery is becoming more demanding. The tsunami of Video traffic forces carriers to manage network resources while seeking to monetise the perceived value of such services. Carriers look to deliver content to users more cost effectively via smart network management, and to manage the value chain, web service providers and media content channels, rather than provide a fat dumb pipe. By forming partnerships with content providers directly, carriers can monetise the delivery. By filtering traffic and determining the quality of service, the carrier is orchestrating the media flow to the user. However, this must stay within the proviso of ‘net neutrality’, allowing innovation to keep morphing our digital life.

Theme: It’s the network!
Despite the downturn, businesses are spending on IT and telecom services, LAN/WAN infrastructure, storage hardware as well as data, wireless, and security services. Good news for the service provides that can get sound new product offerings - managed services, for example - to the market to meet the demand and simplify the lives of CTOs/CIOs.
Consumers are pushing many operators to the limit of their broadband capacity. New devices - iPhones, Android smartphones, tablets and such - are snowballing data traffic at an astounding rate.
Although their specific needs may be different, almost everything both consumers and businesses need depends upon the availability of robust wired and wireless networks that can handle the increasingly heavy data loads that today’s advanced applications demand and today’s devices gulp down. Fibre, 3G, LTE, WiMAX, mobile broadband, network convergence, all-IP networks are all part of the emerging, often ad hoc, network architectures that service providers are struggling to deploy. The growth of these networks is vital if cloud computing, M-2-M, universal communications, everything or anything-as-a-service, social networking, video conferencing, video-on-demand, among many others, are to keep up with the demand and grow.
This edition of Connect-World North America will focus on the network - the core of the ICT sector’s development concerns.

Theme: The enterprise in an everything-wireless world
The widespread availability and constantly accelerating expansion of wireless network, applications and the intensified development of network-centric hardware and software offers great opportunities for the enterprise, but they will have to rethink their operations and policies to obtain them. Increasing employee use of smartphones, netbooks and laptops is just the beginning; to make the best use of them, though, enterprises need to look at mobility as a strategic option and not just another tool.

Theme: New information and communications technologies - separating the long distance runners from the sprinters |
|
| A great number of new information and communication technologies leave the labs and reach the market each year; many are greeted with great expectations. Most, though, are fated to fill small market niches or succumb to the competition and disappear. Some become market leaders, disrupt existing technology ecosystems, change the sector, change businesses and change lives. Which technologies are here to stay? Which ones will lead the market? Which ones will fill small but important niches? What are the innovations you believe will fill an important need - no matter what the size? | |

Theme: 3G, 4G or both? The race is on. |
|
| In a normal world 2.5G follows 2G and is followed by 3 or 3.x G and then 4G, Operators normally would follow a pre-defined evolutionary sequence, but the competition is so rough - and the economics so compelling - that many companies are considering jumping the track and switching technologies and generations. What might the consequences of this be in terms of the networks, equipment, applications, security and especially the market and the consumer? | |

Theme: TV here, there, everywhere, from anywhere |
|
| The focus of the telephone networks has shifted dramatically over the last years and promises to continue to do so at an accelerated pace. Wired and wireless, business and residential, both the networks and the users will converge. The network will support seamless handoffs between fixed and wireless networks of all sorts and the same devices will be used for work and leisure. The traffic will increase exponetionally, but the rates will go down. Added-value applications, services and content will drive revenues. Networks will have a pervasive impact upon society we live in. This issue of Connect-World North America is dedicated to what these ongoing shifts in network technology, in network usage, mean to us all and to what the course of current developments will bring, telephony will never be the same, neither will our society or our lives. |

Theme: Turning The Hourglass Technology is both disruptive and constructive. Throughout the ages, whenever superior technologies appeared they tipped society's hourglass and slowly, inexorably, drained substance out of the reigning economic model, out of the society itself, and filled the then current base with the marvels and tragedies of a new era. There is no going back to the quill, the horse, the telegraph, punch card or the heyday of the bulky black phone. |
