• #6: IDC - Press Release Smartphone Market Grows 79.7% Year Over Year in First Quarter of 2011, According to IDC Top Five Smartphone VendorsNokia, despite announcing its intentions to move from Symbian to Windows Phone as its primary smartphone operating system, maintained its leadership position in the smartphone market. Demand for Symbian-powered smartphones remained strong within its traditionally strongest markets of EMEA and Asia/Pacific, and the company continues to announce more devices running on Symbian, including the E6 and the X7. Still, as Nokia transitions from Symbian to Windows Phone, it may find itself in danger of ceding market share as the competition ramps up smartphone production.Apple reached a new record shipment volume in a single quarter, and inched closer to market leader Nokia with fewer than six million units separating the two companies. The company posted market-beating year-over-year growth and recorded triple-digit growth in two key markets: the United States, with the release of its CDMA-enabled iPhone, and Greater China. Additionally, the company enlisted South Korean Telecom and Saudi Telecom as carrier providers of the iPhone.Research In Motion remained solidly in third place from the previous quarter, as the company grew its presence outside of its home territory of North America. RIM has launched several 3G devices to the market, and recently announced two new BlackBerry smartphones running on its new BlackBerry 7 OS. Still, the majority of RIM's shipment volumes have been comprised of older, lower-cost devices. The company expects this trend to continue into the following quarter.Samsung posted the largest year-over-year gain of any other vendor on the list. With a multiple operating system strategy in place, Samsung has been able to grow its smartphone portfolio to meet the needs of a diverse market. Accounting for the majority of its smartphones and driving shipment volumes higher was the continued success of its Android-based smartphones, including the high-end Galaxy S devices and mass-market Galaxy Ace and Galaxy mini devices. Meanwhile, its bada-powered Wave devices and Windows Phone 7 devices continued to gain traction.HTC posted yet another record shipment volume, nearly surpassing the ten million unit mark for the first time. Like other vendors, HTC announced multiple new devices, including the Facebook-optimized Salsa and ChaCha. In addition, the company launched several new devices, including its Inspire 4G, WiMAX-enabled EVO Shift 4G, and LTE-enabled Thunderbolt. These, along with its investment and developments on hardware, displays, and its HTC Sense layer have helped HTC differentiate itself further in an increasingly crowded market.Source: IDC May 2011- http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS22815911
• #9: LTE Infrastructure Spending to Soar in Next Four Years April 8, 2011 JAGDISH REBELLO, PHDMass deployment of long term evolution (LTE) wireless infrastructure is beginning in 2011 as many carriers in the United States and Europe seek to migrate their networks to 4G over the next three years. During this time, spending on LTE infrastructure gear will expand to $27.9 billion globally, up from just $1.5 billion in 2010, according to new IHS iSuppliresearch.Initially, LTE infrastructure spending will occur in North America, which accounted for $90 million out of $97 million in global LTE spending in 2009 and nearly half of worldwide spending in 2010. This year, North America will also make up $1.7 billion of the projected $3.8 billion spent globally on LTE infrastructure. However, after 2011, spending will ramp up considerably in other regions, and North America’s influence will dwindle to less than 20 percent of overall global spending. Overall, growth of LTE infrastructure spending will reach $27.9 billion by 2014, managing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of a 107.5 percent from $1.5 billion in 2010—a spectacular eighteenfold expansion.“While this spending represents tremendous growth in next-generation wireless technology, carriers still will be required to support multiple air interface technologies simultaneously, as the migration to 4G and LTE will not happen overnight,” noted JagdishRebello, senior director and principal analyst for communications and consumer electronics at IHS. “In most cases, carriers will need to offer 2.5G, 3.5G and 4G technologies in order to support all customers and roaming customers. As a result, semiconductor suppliers must focus on developing effective infrastructure solutions that not only meet the current needs of carriers but also achieve alignment with the 3G/3.5G technology migration paths of the carriers to 4G.”Some original equipment manufacturers (OEM) already are starting to promote solutions that support migration from any previous generation to 4G, Rebello added. However, in the long run, these solutions will need to be flexible enough to accommodate the changing needs of the operators.New Business Models—New Architectures As data traffic on the networks of mobile operators continually grow at exponential rates, driven primarily by rising consumer adoption of video streaming services, mobile operators are carefully looking at their business models and network deployment plans, Rebello said. Around the world, mobile network operators (MNOs) are trying to create plans that allow them to deploy 3.75G and 4G networks while also profitably monetizing data traffic.For operators, this means moving increasingly to tiered pricing plans based on the amount of bandwidth consumed. IHS believes that such a move constitutes the first step in operators’ attempts to transition their networks from ‘dumb pipes’ to ‘metered dumb pipes’, and then eventually to ‘smart pipes.’Furthermore, to successfully monetize data traffic, operators will have to migrate their networks to smarter networks that can provide dynamic quality-of-service guarantees, prioritize traffic, and offer certain services that can be exempt from data traffic ceilings.Differentiated pricing plans also could be presented that allow consumers to choose options tailored to their needs. This way, consumers could choose to pay price premiums for the option to access video streaming applications, or choose plans that only offer data services and web access.To do all this, Rebello said, operators will need to evolve their networking architecture into a heterogeneous architecture involving a combination of macro cells, micro cells and small cells, co-existing with femto cells and WLAN (wireless local area network) mesh networks. Such heterogeneous architectures will have to be optimized with end-to-end solutions, which will allow operators to implement service-level policies on data packets through their networks.Big Future for Small ArchitecturesA critical part of this future network architecture, IHS believes, will be the implementation of small architectures. Small cells—also referred to as pico cells and metro area cells—will allow operators to deploy 3G/4G network coverage in dense urban areas possessing a high concentration of mobile data users. If properly implemented, small cells can be tuned so that the network capacity is aligned with periods of high use. For example, small cells in urban downtown areas can be turned off at night when data consumption by enterprise users in these areas declines, Rebello noted.If operators are able to successfully monetize data and manage the bandwidth crunch, it is clear that networks will have to evolve from the current homogenous architecture into intelligent, managed heterogeneous architectures, Rebello observed further.“This means tremendous opportunities will be available for infrastructure OEMs, silicon suppliers and software providers to offer differentiated end-to-end solutions, and for operators to take advantage of the explosive growth in data,” he added.

• #46: Many devices have become popular across generations, with a majority now owning cell phones, laptops and desktop computers. Younger adults are leading the way in increased mobility, preferring laptops to desktops and using their cell phones for a variety of functions, including internet, email, music, games, and video.Cell phones are by far the most popular device among American adults. Some 85% of adults own cell phones, and 90% of all adults—including 62% of those age 75 and older—live in a household with at least one working cell phone.Desktop computers are most popular with adults ages 35-65, and Millennials are the only generation that is more likely to own a laptop computer or netbook than a desktop: 70% own a laptop, compared with 57% who own a desktop.Almost half of all adults own an iPod or other mp3 player, but these are still most popular with Millennials—74% of adults ages 18-34 own an mp3 player, compared with only 56% of the next oldest generation, Gen X (ages 35-46).Game consoles are uniformly popular with all adults ages 18-46, 63% of whom own these devices.Overall, 5% of adults own an e-book reader, and 4% own an iPad or other tablet computer.Additionally, about one in 11 (9%) adults do not own any of the devices we asked about, including 43% of adults age 75 and older.
