ITU Internet Report 2002: Internet for a Mobile Generation What is the “Mobile Internet”? • It is a combination of: – mobile (wireless) technologies – and information and data communications services – …with, eventually, the flexibility of IP networks? • It implies a convergence of: – terminals – networks – services and applications – corporate structures

ITU Internet Report 2002: Internet for a Mobile Generation Mobile Internet – enabling technologies and applications • Network evolution: from 2G to 3G –higher speeds, increased bandwidth efficiency • “Alternative networks”: e.g wireless LANs – 802.11 series • Mobile User interface: i-mode, WAP • Messaging (SMS, EMS, MMS) • Evolution of digital content, e.g. location-based services (LBS) • Growing importance of security (WEP, WPKI)

ITU Internet Report 2002: Internet for a Mobile Generation Market Trends • Where demand has been greatest – The ‘first-movers’: HK, Japan and Korea • Evolution of corporate strategies • Factors hindering market development – Low availability of adequate handsets – Plethora of standards/formats – Lack of evolved billing models • The economics of success – Avoiding pure tech-push plays – Partnership and collaboration – Encourage revenue-sharing & transparent tariffs

ITU Internet Report 2002: Internet for a Mobile Generation What of digital content? • User sessions tend to be short (unlike the “browsing” behaviour of the fixed-line Internet) • Thus, “killer app” cannot be pure content Average length of mobile data sessions, 2001 2% n o Less than 5 minutes i 8% t a c i n 5-9 minutes u 10% m m 10-19 minutes o C 40% + 20-29 minutes n o i t 30 minutes or more a z i m o t Note: Based on responses to user survey s 40% u C Source: Jupiter Media Matrix, BCG

ITU Internet Report 2002: Internet for a Mobile Generation Towards a mobile information society: “Pardon me, ma’am, but is that your tooth ringing?” • The advent of “pervasive” miniaturized mobile devices will transform our lifestyles – Can you swallow a mobile phone? • Implications of location-based services (LBS) – Can you easily be found in an emergency (e911)? – Can wireless implants track your every move? • Consumer protection, e.g. health, SPAM, – How to re-assure the end-user while fostering development?

ITU Internet Report 2002: Internet for a Mobile Generation Highlights of ITU Report “Internet for a Mobile Generation” • 180 pages of information and analysis • Table of contents includes: technologies, market trends, regulatory/policy aspects, mobile information society • Analysis supported by country-specific case studies • Over 70 pages of statistical tables presenting latest available data. • The ITU Mobile/Internet Index**

ITU Internet Report 2002: Internet for a Mobile Generation The ITU Mobile / Internet Index What it is: • A measure of current information and communication technologies (ICT) development, with a focus on mobile and Internet • A measure of an economy’s ability to take advantage of these technologies in the future What it is not: • A measure of the “mobile Internet” in an economy • Limited to mobile and Internet development only
