Informa Telecoms & Media's content agenda is driven by a real understanding of our customers, their markets, strategies and technologies based on over 30 years of primary research experience.
Broadband & Fixed Telecoms 
Is residential broadband roll-out going to come back and haunt incumbent telecoms operators? With VOIP now in full swing, and a new breed of broadband ISPs snapping at their heels, telcos are having to reinvent themselves and add television and mobility to their basic voice and broadband offerings.
Handsets & Devices
Nowhere has technology made greater strides than in the mobile device space. But we are seeing both divergence and convergence as device manufacturers seek to find the balance between all-in-one handsets and products that are optimised for new services such as music, imaging, email and television.
Media & Entertainment
TV, music, film and games are at the bleeding edge of change brought about by digitalization, the Internet and broadband communications. Piracy has wreaked havoc in the music business but the iTunes and ipod phenomena are giving a tantalizing glimpse of new viable business models.
Mobile Content & Applications
It is taking the mobile industry longer than it hoped to address the potential for building new revenue streams beyond voice and SMS. But with 3G devices flooding western European, North American and Asian markets, mobile users are now becoming equipped with the tools to consume music, video, games, email, the Internet - and in the future, television - over mobile networks.
Mobile Markets
The lion's share of the next billion mobile phone users will come from developing markets. China dominates the global wireless landscape but India, Indonesia, Nigeria and Pakistan are also seeing precipitous growth. The newly-consolidated US market also has room for strong growth spurred by a wave of new MVNOs. Russia continues to set the pace in Europe.
Mobile Strategies
What keeps mobile operator CEOs awake a night? Their key challenge is finding the right balance between investing in higher speed networks, capitalizing on the mobile content opportunity and steeling themselves for a new era of competition from MVNOs, wireless VOIP service providers and wi-max.
Networks & Infrastructure
Telecoms networks are in full transition. Networks are transitioning to a full IP architecture and operators are seeking to deploy IMS technology to facilitate to cut costs and facilitate the roll-out of new services. Access networks are getting faster and it's a question of just how far operators will extend their fibre towards homes and offices.
