Summary and Implications
More users, each using more bandwidth
Each user will have more/more powerful devices
Accelerated smartphone adoption
Video and cloud driving demand and consumption
4G will dramatically increase data consumption
Advanced Cloud Apps Required Advanced Networks
Off-load increasingly important—small cell complement
Need more Spectrum – Licensed and Unlicensed
Need fibre for backhaul, middle mile and aggregation in access
Networks becoming heterogeneous; need to be “fit for purpose”
