The document discusses the future of mobile social networking. It outlines 6 potential models for how the telecom industry can profit from mobile social networks: 1) creating their own social network service, 2) offering a branded account aggregation service, 3) providing small value-added services, 4) partnering with existing social networks, 5) focusing on interoperable infrastructure, or 6) providing superior service to social networks. The conclusion is that social networking and mobility are both growing trends, so social networks need to become more interoperable across mobile platforms.

Long distance communication using localized optical soliton via entangled photonUniversity of Malaya (UM)

��

This document summarizes research on using localized optical solitons generated by microring resonators for long distance communication via entangled photons. A system of microring resonators is presented that can generate broadband spectra through temporal and spatial soliton pulses trapped within the rings. Simulations show localized solitons with femtosecond and picosecond widths can be generated. The soliton pulses could then be used to implement continuous-variable quantum key distribution over long distances by encoding entangled photon pairs across different time slots. This research proposes a way to securely transmit information for communication networks using nonlinear photonics and quantum optics techniques.
