Evolution of 'Internet of Things' to 'Internet of Everything' #IoE
Will the 'Internet of Humans' and the 'Internet of Things' (IoT) evolve into 'Internet of Everything' (IoE). This is certainly what Dave Evans, the Cisco Futurist thinks. This is from his blog:
From the Internet of Things (IoT), where we are today, we are just beginning to enter a new realm: the Internet of Everything (IoE), where things will gain context awareness, increased processing power, and greater sensing abilities. Add people and information into the mix and you get a network of networks where billions or even trillions of connections create unprecedented opportunities and give things that were silent a voice.
As more things, people, and data become connected, the power of the Internet (essentially a network of networks) grows exponentially. This thinking (“Metcalfe’s law”) comes from Robert Metcalfe, well-known technologist and founder of 3Com, who stated that the value of a network increases proportionately to the square of the number of users. In essence, the power of the network is greater than the sum of its parts, making the Internet of Everything, incredibly powerful.

Extended Access Barring (EAB) in Release 11 to avoid MTC overload
M2M is going to be big. With the promise of 50 Billion devices by 2020, the networks are already worried about the overloading due to signalling by millions of devices occurring at any given time. To counter this, they have been working on avoiding overloading of the network for quite some time as blogged about here.
The feature to avoid this overload is known as Extended Access Barring (EAB). For E-UTRAN, in Rel-10, a partial solution was implemented and a much better solution has been implemented in Rel-11. For GERAN a solution was implemented in Rel-10. The following presentation gives a high level overview of EAB for E-UTRAN and GERAN.
In Rel-11, a new System Information Block (SIB 14) has been added that is used specifically for EAB. Whereas in Rel-10, the UE would still send the RRCConnectionRequest, in Rel-11, the UE does not even need to do that, thereby congesting the Random Access messages.
The following is from RRC 36.331 (2012-09)

Here is my attempt to explain the difference in overload control mechanism in Rel-8, Rel-10 and Rel-11. Please note that not actual message names are used.
As usual, happy to receive feedback, comments, suggestions, etc.

LTE, M2M Device Addressing and IMSI
I was made aware of the following statement on the Verizon wireless brochure:
LTE’s inherent support for IPV6 addressing and IMSI-based telephone number identifiers makes mass deployments over LTE more easily achievable. The deployment of large numbers of mobile devices (think tens of thousands) becomes much more feasible because of LTE’s use of 15-digit IMSI telephone number identifiers for large-scale deployments, such as M2M or embedded wireless applications. 3G network technologies were limited by their use of 10-digit telephone number identifiers, which made large-scale deployments more difficult. With LTE, mass deployment of wireless services and applications, such as VoIP, smart metering, vending, and telematics, is now practical.
Now we know about the much touted 50 Billion connections by 2025 of which the majority would be M2M devices. So how are we going to handle the issue of addressing these many devices.
In the earlier presentation here, there was a mention of the direction for the solution as below:
The IMSI structure is as shown above. So depending on how it is used this can help alleviate the number shortage problem. 3GPP TR 23.888 gives the following information:
5.13 Key
Issue - MTC Identifiers
5.13.1 Use
Case Description
The amount of MTC Devices is expected to become 2 orders of
magnitude higher than the amount of devices for human to human communication
scenarios. This has to be taken into account for IMSI, IMEI and MSISDN.
Regulatory bodies indicate shortages of IMSIs
and MSISDNs.
The MTC Feature PS Only in TS 22.368 [2] includes
a requirement that PS Only subscriptions shall be possible without an MSISDN.
In principle an MSISDN is not used in any of the PS based signalling
procedures. However, it will have to be assured that all PS procedures indeed
work and subscriptions can be uniquely identified without providing an MSISDN.
Furthermore, TS 22.368 [2]
specifies that remote MTC Device configuration shall be supported for PS only
subscriptions without an MSDISDN assigned. Current remote MTC Device configuration solutions (i.e.
Device Management and Over-the-Air configuration) are based on SMS, which assumes the use of MSISDNs. So a solution to support remote MTC Device configuration that does not
require the use of MSISDNs is needed.
The identifiers can be categorised into:
- Internal Identifiers:
used within the 3GPP system to identify a UE using a subscription (or the
subscription itself e.g. when the
UE is not registered).
- External Identifiers: used from outside the 3GPP system (e.g. at the MTCsp
interface), to refer to a UE using a subscription (or the subscription itself
e.g. when the UE is not registered).
5.13.2 Required
Functionality
- It shall be possible to
uniquely identify the ME.
NOTE 1: This
requirement relates to the ME which is generally identified by the IMEI.
- It shall be possible to
uniquely identify the UE using a subscription or the subscription
itself.
NOTE 2: The two
requirements above also apply to human-to-human communications. However, for
Machine-Type Communication identifiers will have to be able to cater for a
number of identifiers up to two orders of magnitude higher than for
human-to-human communications.
- It shall be possible to use
the following identifiers:
1. IMSI,
for internal usage within the 3GPP operator domain, and either
2. E.164
MSISDN, for usage outside the 3GPP operator domain, or
3. Unique
identifier (e.g. FQDN), other than E.164 MSISDN, for usage outside the 3GPP operator
domain.
NOTE 3: Use of IMSI outside the 3GPP operator domain is an operator
option (i.e. not subject to standardization)
- If no (unique or common)
MSISDN is assigned to a PS only subscription, the Internal Identifier (IMSI) shall be used as charging identifier.
- It shall be possible to associate one or more External
Identifiers to the same Internal Identifier (e.g. several MSISDNs associated
with the same IMSI).
- Globally unique External Identifiers shall be supported for
identifying UEs used for MTC that must be globally reachable (i.e. irrespective
of which mobile operator owns the subscription)
- Operator specific External Identifiers (e.g. based on a private
numbering plan) may be supported for identifying UEs used for MTC that have to
be reachable only from the operator domain to which they are subscribed.
- The Internal Identifier shall be globally unique.
- Remote MTC Device
configuration shall still be supported for subscriptions without an MSISDN.
NOTE 4: Current remote MTC Device configuration
solutions (i.e. Device Management and Over-the-Air configuration) are based on SMS, which assumes
the use of MSISDNs.
Any more information on this subject, more than welcome.

@Qualcomm_UK: #Snapdragon processors are used by 50+ manufacturers, in 340+ devices with a further 400+ in development – Joe Barrett, Qualcomm
@ndahad: The significance of mobile technologies globally, particularly emerging markets, & more smartphones to the masses http://ow.ly/i/IVvF
@Alliantus: Interesting first session. Powershift. New spectrum. More base stations - smaller & deployed to offload traffic - bring net closer.
@marekpawlowski: Does Qualcomm's Alljoyn hold possibility of internet of things network which meshes to become stronger the more entities which join?
@marekpawlowski: Qualcomm's Halo transferring kw power wirelessly over air gaps to charge cars. A final untethering of humans from power sockets?
@ndahad: Mobile - the digital 6th sense
@Alliantus: very interesting scene setting by #joebarrett #qualcomm one of best conference starts ever - on the button and no sales pitch. FAB.
@dw2: Note to self: learn more about http://www.qualcommhalo.com/ the Qualcomm Halo wireless charging system for cars mentioned by Joe Barrett
@geoffmccormick: biggest challenge for wireless auto charging is not the tech but the system. New behaviours and challenges abound.
@RichardTraherne: Further support for small cells to solve cellular access problems, at Future Wireless International Conference
@zahidtg: Connected car by Qualcomm at #FWIC
@Qualcomm_UK: Hey, @CambWireless #fwic and want to see the video #Qualcomm’s Joe Barrett talked about this morning?:
Joe Baratt's presentation is available here and the video is here.
@bensmithuk: Listening to Olaf Swantee (Everything Everywhere CEO)
@Alliantus: everything everywhere #Olafswantec CEO. Partnering for #4G. Built for data. More speed 4-6 times faster in lab. Latency improved.
@najeebster: Olaf Swantee, CEO, Everything Everywhere reckons this 4G stuff can provide connectivity equal to fixed-line broadband, hmm
@Alliantus: 4G tool for proving connectivity. Part of solution. Data growth rates 250 times in past year - smart phones and smart data.
@roryponeill: CEO Everything Everywhere Olaf Swantee "I'm staggered by the continuing growth of data. We can't cope with 3G...we must go 4G"
@cambwireless: Olaf Swantee, CEO, Everything Everywhere speaks at #fwic "Growth rates of 250% in data on the network every year"
@Alliantus: UK more dependent on services than any other because of service culture. Infrastructure needs to be improved - UK early adopters.
@kumithiru: wonder what percentage of EE's UK customer base using data hungry devices use them at home? 50% 60% 70% ?
@najeebster: 4G carries a stronger signal even cell edge, will help to solve rural broadband issues
@rob_symes: olaf swantee says there would huge job creation by next gen 4G network
@roryponeill: Olaf continues "Britain is reliant on digital service industry - no.1 contributor to GDP - yet 40 other countries have 4G already"
@Alliantus: #fwic reason delay because industry is sweating assets in UK. Big capital expenditure has not come. ROI? Not enough profit? Hard to believe.
@BrianIsATwit: Olaf Swantee #fwic 4G use cases are video, TV and real time gaming. B2B cloud services. M2M also driving new apps.
@BrianIsATwit: Olaf Swantee at #fwic inferring UK economy impacted by poor fixed and mobile broadband. 4G positive investment impact £5bn & 125K new jobs.
@Alliantus: #fwic ironically really poor O2 service here. Blocking tweet on everything everywhere? Or just because it is about #4G?
@Alliantus: role of lawyers in causing delay? Are we destined to be laggards and not leaders because of cyclical nature of Tech adoption?
@Alliantus: can be back on track quickly. Already have a 3G network? Many users think they are on 4G already.
@Alliantus: thought provoking talk. Really believes in focusing on customers. Passion. Making experience better. Good operator perspective.
@marekpawlowski: Refreshing to hear Olaf Swantee prioritising fundamental improvements to network quality over 'tariff gimmicks & loyalty points'
@marekpawlowski: However, concerned by Swantee's faith in 4G to solve rural access. Unlikely economics will be any different than any proceeding 'G'
@marekpawlowski: Challenge for Swantee will be moving from sales culture of pushing 'broadband' & 'smartphone' SKUs, getting closer to customer reality
@cambwireless: Olaf Swantree stresses the economy is dependent on digital infrastructure. 40 countries rolled out 4g already - uk falling behind
@BrianIsATwit: as a rural dweller my fixed and mobile experience terrible. don't doubt 4G capability but do doubt deployment and economics.
@Alliantus: Chewing on ideas surrounding the evolution of the device. Rory O'Neill RIM.
@najeebster: Future of wireless by speaker from RIM. Vaguely ironic?
@najeebster: RIM - there are still CIOs that think response time to an email in over 48 hrs is OK
@Alliantus: predictive conversations can impact on way we communicate. Conversations will be written across multiple devices. Simplifying life?
@zahidtg: Is this the industry challenge?
@kumithiru: @roryponeill that's a big percentage. Vodafone recently referenced only 27% of European customer base are smartphone users
@geoffmccormick: great talk by @roryponeill of rim. Concise explanation of the role of device innovation and associated experiences. Well done !
@Alliantus: plenty of room for innovation in the market. Incredible growth potential. More of a bb pitch than generic piece about industry.
@najeebster: very decent spiel by @roryponeill that there's room for more than 2 players in a $1.4Tr mkt
@Alliantus: global market is aggregation of lots of local markets. Interesting concept worth noting.
@marekpawlowski: A vision of Blackberry at heart of internet of things, using back end to predict, mediate conversations & transactions by @roryponeill
@marekpawlowski: Not sure I agree with @roryponeill that digital simplifies conversations. Rather allows us to deal with more simultaneous complexity
@JawadAbbassi: According to #Blackberry, globally #smartphones make up 23% of total cellular handsets.
Rory O’Neill, Vice President of Software and Services EMEA, RIM presentation here and video here
@Alliantus: RichardJacklin #anite my god its full of stars. iPhone created new form factor. Much reduced range of models. Is this a trend?
@Alliantus: Model range dip in 2011. Seen across all devices as shift in vendors.
@rob_symes: data prices must rise by 40 percent to make up for loss of voice and messaging
@dw2: Liked the Arthur C Clarke 2001 references in Richard Jacklin's #fwicinnovation talk. I'll have some more in my debate pitch tomorrow :-)
@mattablott: Some interesting studies on operator 'device ranging' by Anite
@dw2: Richard Jacklin's summary of Samsung's recipe for device success: experiment rapidly with multiple approaches + smartly observe market
@marekpawlowski: Hearing how differentiation moved to software. Is it that users don't want differentiated hardware or just it is currently uneconomic?
@sdfriedner: Hot topics at #FWIC How will devices, particularly smartphones evolve in the future and what will be the differentiator?
@marekpawlowski: Asked: is great RF performance a UX differentiator? Yes, but not at point of sale! Becomes relevant once you own, when it's too late!
@marekpawlowski: Revealing reaction to Q about improving sustainability by keeping, upgrading handsets longer. "Our industry is based on consumption."
@zahidtg: Interesting analysis of cost/defect by Richard Jacklin of Anite
@rpctelecom: Of the around 40 speakers and panelists at #fwic as far as I can see only 3 are women. Hmmm says something about our industry I fear.
Track 1: Four Pathways to International Business Growth - Chaired by John Davies, UKTI
@cambwireless: Finbarr Moynihan at Mediatek says smartphones will have 60-70% of market with 100 dollar smartphone possible
Presentations:
Track 2: Utility or Valued Brand - Chaired by Mark Neild, Nokia Siemens Network
@cambwireless: Track 2 at #fwic Looking at value based pricing - mobile operators need to focus on core bus. Partner with OTT - don't compete
@cambwireless: Mark Neild, Nokia Siemens networks: Up to third of revenue on handset subsidy
@cambwireless: iPhone put more focus on network quality. Customers care more about quality of their networks
@cambwireless: Mark Neild, Nokia Siemens Network says operators need to stick to what they are good at - delivering access
Presentations:
Track 3: Bandwidth Hogs or Experience Innovators - Chaired by Reginald Kipke, Velocix
@marekpawlowski: Terrifyingly prehistoric to be sitting in a session about 'threats and opportunities' of OTT
@marekpawlowski: Myriad's @MWJ encourages operators to do *something* with digital service innovation. Doesn't need to be perfect first time, just try
@marekpawlowski: Good point by @mwj about how forgiving customers can be of experimentation if it meets certain needs. Good UX isn't about perfection.
Presentations:
Track 4: Where Next for Devices - Chaired by Zahid Ghadialy, Explanotech
@zahidtg: Wow! Track 4 at #FWIC is completely packed. Everyone loves to hear about device evolution.

@cambwireless: Day two of #fwic well under way with Matthew Postgate, Head of R & D, BBC talking “How is mobile broadband changing broadcasting?”
@dw2: Found a jackpot of fascinating videos about the future of wireless tech at http://3g4g.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Videos courtesy of @zahidtg
@ndahad: the opportunities for mhealthcare. Professor Chris Lowe presenting on 2nd day of conference
@ndahad: what physicians typically looking for patients to track or monitor at home. Thousands of apps already available
@marekpawlowski: Perhaps there's no such thing as mHealth, just millions of distinct design challenges which, we hope, have some common tech solutions?
@ndahad: mhealthcare - the mhealth ecosystem
@marekpawlowski: Wealth of healthcare insights from Chris Lowe. Particularly the interest in doctors for using digital to facilitate more collaboration
@marekpawlowski: Also how greater self monitoring by patients could aid resource planning and epidemic response in the health system
@ndahad: big opportunity for mhealthcare solutions is in diabetes monitoring, 400 million affected worldwide, figure set to double in 10 years
@Alliantus: everyone saying what a fantastic job #ChrisLowe from Uni. Cambridge did this morning. Talking about mHealth
Prof. Chris Lowe, Director, University of Cambridge; slides here, video here
@kumithiru: Given voice to text keynote at yesterday's #FWIC fun to see@MatthewPostgate start with a Siri slide today
@Alliantus: How is mobile broadband changing broadcasting. A personal journey. Key enabler to redefine operating context. Industrial revolution.
@Alliantus: Towards a new broadcasting system. Universal. Live & on demand. Creation & curation. Immersive & pervasive. Shared and personal.
@Alliantus: Trend towards immersive and pervasive Tv. People want to be part of the service. Aunties view not the only one.
@Alliantus: Mobile equalised productisation with BBC content. No longer after thought.
@kumithiru: BBC 1-4-10 strategy for online service provision
@zahidtg: The 1 10 4 concept by BBC at #FWIC - 4 stands for 4 screens
@zahidtg: 50% of iPlayer access is now on 3G
@bensmithuk: BBC working on companion apps to play-out live in sync with programming including shows like Frozen Planet.
@Alliantus: is the broadcaster creator or curator? What is its role with user generated news, eg?
@BrianIsATwit: BBC #fwic future tech roadmap for broadcasting. LTE broadcast mode important.
@kumithiru: a lot of talk about e-MBMS in the US LTE networks good to see@MatthewPostgate of BBC deal with issue
@zahidtg: eMBMS is a research area by BBC :-)
@bensmithuk: BBC approaches for syncing 2nd screen: pure time sync, audio watermarking & syncing API interfaces (in order of 'frame accuracy')
@evolaris: Matthew Postgate, BBC: eMBMS interesting technology for broadcasters
@marekpawlowski: Matthew Postgate setting out immersive (3D, HD) & pervasive (new touchpoints) as tenets of BBC strategy
@marekpawlowski: BBC using Web sync, audio tags & home network API to link linear broadcast & companion devices. All must degrade gracefully
@marekpawlowski: Being able to link linear & companion content with frame accuracy is priority for BBC to try more creative multi-touchpoint experience
@marekpawlowski: Since iPlayer made accessible over cellular, has grown to 50/50 mix with Wifi on iPhone, but has not cannibalised Wifi at all
@marekpawlowski: However iPlayer iPad usage remains primarily Wifi, suggesting predominance of home usage
@marekpawlowski: I wonder if BBC will experiment beyond just multi-screen & start to build contextual experiences responsive to sensors & behaviour?
Matthew Postgate, Head of Research & Development, BBC; No Slides but Video is available here.
@zahidtg: Test challenges of connected car by Rohde&Schwarz
Innovation Hothouse - Chaired by Kevin Coleman, Project Director, 'Discovering Start-Ups'
Policy Panel - Chaired by Stuart Revell, Chairman, ICT KTN Wireless Technology & Spectrum Working Group
@Alliantus: Airwave: spectrum is important to secure channels. Following global trends. Public safety network is minute in comparison to public.
@Alliantus: Small network for emergency response is expensive for small net. What price safety? Spectrum is important.
@Alliantus: Motorola. What do you want you phone 911? Someone who knows we ring 999. Cultural differences are interesting.
@zahidtg: Interesting. Emergency services use 0.9% of all spectrum between UHF and 6Ghz.
@RichardTraherne: Joe Butler, Ofcom, at Future #Wireless Conference #FWIC says radio spectrum access/use strategy must change
@Alliantus: International countries will not wait for Europe to make decisions. Sharing of infrastructure and services. LTE allows opportunity.
@Alliantus: How do we as a society value spectrum.
@Alliantus: voda. 15 year decisions regarding infrastructure. Where is the money? People don't care how they connect. How do we accommodate?
@cambwireless: Andy Hudson, Vodafone, head of spectrum policy, says that the most efficient use of spectrum is overall aim
@Alliantus: LTE not the soln for public safety. USA have made decisions that they will use it on the back of disasters such as Katrina and 911.
@Alliantus: Control will be driver for two networks. Could have sharing but only if emergency had control.
@zahidtg: I absolutely disagree that broadcasting is a complete waste of spectrum. If there were no broadcast ppl would try VOD, overwhelming nw
@cambwireless: Andy Hudson, Head of Spectrum Policy, Vodafone: "Biggest challenge is to make low cost high performance filter for handsets"
@rpctelecom: Jeppe Jepson of Motorola "broadcasting is the most wasteful use of the radio spectrum" - I'm not sure many would agree with him!
@rpctelecom: Ofcom wants a flexible spectrum map but will only "enable" not "regulate" for it. But will incumbents release spectrum if not pushed?
@rpctelecom: Andy Hudson of Vodafone says that Vodafone and O2 will share network infrastructure to give 98% indoor coverage in UK
Video of Policy Panel here.
@Alliantus: Colin Brereton #PwC Mobile enabler of global change. Interesting slide deck. Worth a download. Opportunity in Devoping World.
@bensmithuk: Don’t we need to stop marvelling at how the ‘young people’ are able to multi-screen and discuss / understand what all consumers want?
@bensmithuk: Tired of hearing ‘developed world’ & ‘emerging markets’ as binary distinction in mobile. Don’t we need a more granular description?
@Alliantus: New generation different mobile use. Apps 10Bn user market. See slides for other.
@cambwireless: Pwc - planet needs to be more productive. Mobile can become the primary enabler of social and economic development
@Peter_Whale: Thanks to Colin Bererton #PwC for laying challenge to focus creative energies on application of wireless to massively benefit society

DAY 1
@zahidtg: #FWIC has started
@marekpawlowski: Full house for #fwic, sign of thriving, continually expanding mobile industry in Cambridge
@Qualcomm_UK: "Mobile is the largest technology platform in history" – #Qualcomm’s Joe Barrett at #FWIC keynote
@JawadAbbassi: Globally: 1 million new 3G connections are added on a daily basis. Source: @Qualcomm_IAR
@najeebster: 3.2bn 3G connections by 2016 Joe Barrett from Qualcomm at #FWIC
@geoffmccormick: data traffic to grow over 1000% in the next decade.
@Qualcomm_UK: “Consumers expect the amazing” – Joe Barrett of Qualcomm
@cambwireless: Joe Barrett from @Qualcomm_UK keynote 3.4 billion 3G connections by 2016, 1000 x growth in data by 2020
@Qualcomm_UK: #Snapdragon processors are used by 50+ manufacturers, in 340+ devices with a further 400+ in development – Joe Barrett, Qualcomm
@ndahad: The significance of mobile technologies globally, particularly emerging markets, & more smartphones to the masses http://ow.ly/i/IVvF
@Alliantus: Interesting first session. Powershift. New spectrum. More base stations - smaller & deployed to offload traffic - bring net closer.
@marekpawlowski: Does Qualcomm's Alljoyn hold possibility of internet of things network which meshes to become stronger the more entities which join?
@marekpawlowski: Qualcomm's Halo transferring kw power wirelessly over air gaps to charge cars. A final untethering of humans from power sockets?
@ndahad: Mobile - the digital 6th sense
@Alliantus: very interesting scene setting by #joebarrett #qualcomm one of best conference starts ever - on the button and no sales pitch. FAB.
@dw2: Note to self: learn more about http://www.qualcommhalo.com/ the Qualcomm Halo wireless charging system for cars mentioned by Joe Barrett
@geoffmccormick: biggest challenge for wireless auto charging is not the tech but the system. New behaviours and challenges abound.
@RichardTraherne: Further support for small cells to solve cellular access problems, at Future Wireless International Conference
@zahidtg: Connected car by Qualcomm at #FWIC
@Qualcomm_UK: Hey, @CambWireless #fwic and want to see the video #Qualcomm’s Joe Barrett talked about this morning?:
Joe Baratt's presentation is available here and the video is here.
@bensmithuk: Listening to Olaf Swantee (Everything Everywhere CEO)
@Alliantus: everything everywhere #Olafswantec CEO. Partnering for #4G. Built for data. More speed 4-6 times faster in lab. Latency improved.
@najeebster: Olaf Swantee, CEO, Everything Everywhere reckons this 4G stuff can provide connectivity equal to fixed-line broadband, hmm
@Alliantus: 4G tool for proving connectivity. Part of solution. Data growth rates 250 times in past year - smart phones and smart data.
@roryponeill: CEO Everything Everywhere Olaf Swantee "I'm staggered by the continuing growth of data. We can't cope with 3G...we must go 4G"
@cambwireless: Olaf Swantee, CEO, Everything Everywhere speaks at #fwic "Growth rates of 250% in data on the network every year"
@Alliantus: UK more dependent on services than any other because of service culture. Infrastructure needs to be improved - UK early adopters.
@kumithiru: wonder what percentage of EE's UK customer base using data hungry devices use them at home? 50% 60% 70% ?
@najeebster: 4G carries a stronger signal even cell edge, will help to solve rural broadband issues
@rob_symes: olaf swantee says there would huge job creation by next gen 4G network
@roryponeill: Olaf continues "Britain is reliant on digital service industry - no.1 contributor to GDP - yet 40 other countries have 4G already"
@Alliantus: #fwic reason delay because industry is sweating assets in UK. Big capital expenditure has not come. ROI? Not enough profit? Hard to believe.
@BrianIsATwit: Olaf Swantee #fwic 4G use cases are video, TV and real time gaming. B2B cloud services. M2M also driving new apps.
@BrianIsATwit: Olaf Swantee at #fwic inferring UK economy impacted by poor fixed and mobile broadband. 4G positive investment impact £5bn & 125K new jobs.
@Alliantus: #fwic ironically really poor O2 service here. Blocking tweet on everything everywhere? Or just because it is about #4G?
@Alliantus: role of lawyers in causing delay? Are we destined to be laggards and not leaders because of cyclical nature of Tech adoption?
@Alliantus: can be back on track quickly. Already have a 3G network? Many users think they are on 4G already.
@Alliantus: thought provoking talk. Really believes in focusing on customers. Passion. Making experience better. Good operator perspective.
@marekpawlowski: Refreshing to hear Olaf Swantee prioritising fundamental improvements to network quality over 'tariff gimmicks & loyalty points'
@marekpawlowski: However, concerned by Swantee's faith in 4G to solve rural access. Unlikely economics will be any different than any proceeding 'G'
@marekpawlowski: Challenge for Swantee will be moving from sales culture of pushing 'broadband' & 'smartphone' SKUs, getting closer to customer reality
@cambwireless: Olaf Swantree stresses the economy is dependent on digital infrastructure. 40 countries rolled out 4g already - uk falling behind
@BrianIsATwit: as a rural dweller my fixed and mobile experience terrible. don't doubt 4G capability but do doubt deployment and economics.
No Slides. Video of Olaf Swantee is available here
@Alliantus: #paultaylor #google. Text to speech. Can't tweet because of sensitivity. Confidentiality works both ways Google.
@geoffmccormick: is there an irony in google asking for privacy ??? Txt to voice google insider info coming soon (I hope).
@eurocomms: Interesting... Google engineering manager asks #fwic if his speech can remain confidential ahead of upcoming developer conference
@geoffmccormick: voice input needs visual confirmation. Interesting point made by google.
@eurocomms: Apologies to all those asking re Google at #fwic - WiFi ironically pretty poor... – talk was mainly about developments in speech technology
@Lautarinho: Amusing efforts by Google to keep information at a major conference private it seems.
@Brill_Brum: Muppet!... Google engineering manager asks #fwic if his speech can remain confidential ahead of upcoming developer conference
@rpctelecom: Paul Taylor of Google gave an interesting talk whose title he doesn't want mentioned and said some interesting unreportable things
@rpctelecom: By the way, Paul Taylor of Google needs @connectifyme to solve his hotel Internet multiple-device problems
No Video or Slides for presentation by Paul Taylor, Engineering Manager, Google
ZG: Since the Google I/O 2012 is already over, I dont see why this cannot be shared now. I will add the pictures at the end of this post.
@Alliantus: Interesting panel discussion. Femtocell for capacity? Will we as consumers spend the money themselves?
@cambwireless: Panel session @DavidCleevely pushes femtocell opportunity for new business model
@rupert_baines: @davidcleavely at #fwic on need for #smallcell how femtocells create opportunity & new business model for carriers: economics view not tech
@cambwireless: Panel Session Olaf Swantree says femtocells are part of the equation
@marekpawlowski: Good point about expediting uptake of femto cells by operators recognising & discounting femto use in tariffs. Few currently do.
@JawadAbbassi: 50% of #cellular users in the #UK still do not use a #smartphone
@roryponeill: Olaf "we still have 50% of our customers in the UK who don't have smartphones" <--this game is not over ;)
@marekpawlowski: Swantee: As internet becomes personal, people resist advertising. Digital advertising works only when it helps users complete missions
Video of Panel discussion here
@Alliantus: Chewing on ideas surrounding the evolution of the device. Rory O'Neill RIM.
@najeebster: Future of wireless by speaker from RIM. Vaguely ironic?
@najeebster: RIM - there are still CIOs that think response time to an email in over 48 hrs is OK
@Alliantus: predictive conversations can impact on way we communicate. Conversations will be written across multiple devices. Simplifying life?
@zahidtg: Is this the industry challenge?
@kumithiru: @roryponeill that's a big percentage. Vodafone recently referenced only 27% of European customer base are smartphone users
@geoffmccormick: great talk by @roryponeill of rim. Concise explanation of the role of device innovation and associated experiences. Well done !
@Alliantus: plenty of room for innovation in the market. Incredible growth potential. More of a bb pitch than generic piece about industry.
@najeebster: very decent spiel by @roryponeill that there's room for more than 2 players in a $1.4Tr mkt
@Alliantus: global market is aggregation of lots of local markets. Interesting concept worth noting.
@marekpawlowski: A vision of Blackberry at heart of internet of things, using back end to predict, mediate conversations & transactions by @roryponeill
@marekpawlowski: Not sure I agree with @roryponeill that digital simplifies conversations. Rather allows us to deal with more simultaneous complexity
@JawadAbbassi: According to #Blackberry, globally #smartphones make up 23% of total cellular handsets.
Rory O’Neill, Vice President of Software and Services EMEA, RIM presentation here and video here
@Alliantus: RichardJacklin #anite my god its full of stars. iPhone created new form factor. Much reduced range of models. Is this a trend?
@Alliantus: Model range dip in 2011. Seen across all devices as shift in vendors.
@rob_symes: data prices must rise by 40 percent to make up for loss of voice and messaging
@dw2: Liked the Arthur C Clarke 2001 references in Richard Jacklin's #fwicinnovation talk. I'll have some more in my debate pitch tomorrow :-)
@mattablott: Some interesting studies on operator 'device ranging' by Anite
@dw2: Richard Jacklin's summary of Samsung's recipe for device success: experiment rapidly with multiple approaches + smartly observe market
@marekpawlowski: Hearing how differentiation moved to software. Is it that users don't want differentiated hardware or just it is currently uneconomic?
@sdfriedner: Hot topics at #FWIC How will devices, particularly smartphones evolve in the future and what will be the differentiator?
@marekpawlowski: Asked: is great RF performance a UX differentiator? Yes, but not at point of sale! Becomes relevant once you own, when it's too late!
@marekpawlowski: Revealing reaction to Q about improving sustainability by keeping, upgrading handsets longer. "Our industry is based on consumption."
@zahidtg: Interesting analysis of cost/defect by Richard Jacklin of Anite
@rpctelecom: Of the around 40 speakers and panelists at #fwic as far as I can see only 3 are women. Hmmm says something about our industry I fear.

@cambwireless: Day two of #fwic well under way with Matthew Postgate, Head of R & D, BBC talking “How is mobile broadband changing broadcasting?”
@dw2: Found a jackpot of fascinating videos about the future of wireless tech at http://3g4g.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Videos courtesy of @zahidtg
@ndahad: the opportunities for mhealthcare. Professor Chris Lowe presenting on 2nd day of conference
@ndahad: what physicians typically looking for patients to track or monitor at home. Thousands of apps already available
@marekpawlowski: Perhaps there's no such thing as mHealth, just millions of distinct design challenges which, we hope, have some common tech solutions?
@ndahad: mhealthcare - the mhealth ecosystem
@marekpawlowski: Wealth of healthcare insights from Chris Lowe. Particularly the interest in doctors for using digital to facilitate more collaboration
@marekpawlowski: Also how greater self monitoring by patients could aid resource planning and epidemic response in the health system
@ndahad: big opportunity for mhealthcare solutions is in diabetes monitoring, 400 million affected worldwide, figure set to double in 10 years
@Alliantus: everyone saying what a fantastic job #ChrisLowe from Uni. Cambridge did this morning. Talking about mHealth
Prof. Chris Lowe, Director, University of Cambridge; slides here, video here
@kumithiru: Given voice to text keynote at yesterday's #FWIC fun to see@MatthewPostgate start with a Siri slide today
@Alliantus: How is mobile broadband changing broadcasting. A personal journey. Key enabler to redefine operating context. Industrial revolution.
@Alliantus: Towards a new broadcasting system. Universal. Live & on demand. Creation & curation. Immersive & pervasive. Shared and personal.
@Alliantus: Trend towards immersive and pervasive Tv. People want to be part of the service. Aunties view not the only one.
@Alliantus: Mobile equalised productisation with BBC content. No longer after thought.
@kumithiru: BBC 1-4-10 strategy for online service provision
@zahidtg: The 1 10 4 concept by BBC at #FWIC - 4 stands for 4 screens
@zahidtg: 50% of iPlayer access is now on 3G
@bensmithuk: BBC working on companion apps to play-out live in sync with programming including shows like Frozen Planet.
@Alliantus: is the broadcaster creator or curator? What is its role with user generated news, eg?
@BrianIsATwit: BBC #fwic future tech roadmap for broadcasting. LTE broadcast mode important.
@kumithiru: a lot of talk about e-MBMS in the US LTE networks good to see@MatthewPostgate of BBC deal with issue
@zahidtg: eMBMS is a research area by BBC :-)
@bensmithuk: BBC approaches for syncing 2nd screen: pure time sync, audio watermarking & syncing API interfaces (in order of 'frame accuracy')
@evolaris: Matthew Postgate, BBC: eMBMS interesting technology for broadcasters
@marekpawlowski: Matthew Postgate setting out immersive (3D, HD) & pervasive (new touchpoints) as tenets of BBC strategy
@marekpawlowski: BBC using Web sync, audio tags & home network API to link linear broadcast & companion devices. All must degrade gracefully
@marekpawlowski: Being able to link linear & companion content with frame accuracy is priority for BBC to try more creative multi-touchpoint experience
@marekpawlowski: Since iPlayer made accessible over cellular, has grown to 50/50 mix with Wifi on iPhone, but has not cannibalised Wifi at all
@marekpawlowski: However iPlayer iPad usage remains primarily Wifi, suggesting predominance of home usage
@marekpawlowski: I wonder if BBC will experiment beyond just multi-screen & start to build contextual experiences responsive to sensors & behaviour?
Matthew Postgate, Head of Research & Development, BBC; No Slides but Video is available here.
@zahidtg: Test challenges of connected car by Rohde&Schwarz
@zahidtg: We are also talking of VoLTE testing. The small note at the bottom has always worried me
Anton MessmerDirector of Subdivision, Mobile Radio Teseters, Rohde and Schwarz; slides here.
Innovation Hothouse - Chaired by Kevin Coleman, Project Director, 'Discovering Start-Ups'
Video here.
Policy Panel - Chaired by Stuart Revell, Chairman, ICT KTN Wireless Technology & Spectrum Working Group
@Alliantus: Airwave: spectrum is important to secure channels. Following global trends. Public safety network is minute in comparison to public.
@Alliantus: Small network for emergency response is expensive for small net. What price safety? Spectrum is important.
@Alliantus: Motorola. What do you want you phone 911? Someone who knows we ring 999. Cultural differences are interesting.
@zahidtg: Interesting. Emergency services use 0.9% of all spectrum between UHF and 6Ghz.
@RichardTraherne: Joe Butler, Ofcom, at Future #Wireless Conference #FWIC says radio spectrum access/use strategy must change
@Alliantus: International countries will not wait for Europe to make decisions. Sharing of infrastructure and services. LTE allows opportunity.
@Alliantus: How do we as a society value spectrum.
@Alliantus: voda. 15 year decisions regarding infrastructure. Where is the money? People don't care how they connect. How do we accommodate?
@cambwireless: Andy Hudson, Vodafone, head of spectrum policy, says that the most efficient use of spectrum is overall aim
@Alliantus: LTE not the soln for public safety. USA have made decisions that they will use it on the back of disasters such as Katrina and 911.
@Alliantus: Control will be driver for two networks. Could have sharing but only if emergency had control.
@zahidtg: I absolutely disagree that broadcasting is a complete waste of spectrum. If there were no broadcast ppl would try VOD, overwhelming nw
@cambwireless: Andy Hudson, Head of Spectrum Policy, Vodafone: "Biggest challenge is to make low cost high performance filter for handsets"
@rpctelecom: Jeppe Jepson of Motorola "broadcasting is the most wasteful use of the radio spectrum" - I'm not sure many would agree with him!
@rpctelecom: Ofcom wants a flexible spectrum map but will only "enable" not "regulate" for it. But will incumbents release spectrum if not pushed?
@rpctelecom: Andy Hudson of Vodafone says that Vodafone and O2 will share network infrastructure to give 98% indoor coverage in UK
Video of Policy Panel here.
@Alliantus: Colin Brereton #PwC Mobile enabler of global change. Interesting slide deck. Worth a download. Opportunity in Devoping World.
@bensmithuk: Don’t we need to stop marvelling at how the ‘young people’ are able to multi-screen and discuss / understand what all consumers want?
@bensmithuk: Tired of hearing ‘developed world’ & ‘emerging markets’ as binary distinction in mobile. Don’t we need a more granular description?
