Paul is Editor of Global Mobile and the Mobile Operator Intelligence Centre. Paul has eight years’ experience of covering the mobile sector as a journalist. Paul’s areas of focus are mobile operator strategy; technology trends; emerging markets and regulation.

Paul is currently working on various aspects of the mobile operator business case: the threat to incumbents from new entrants and new technologies, such as WiMAX; the rush to acquire operators in emerging markets; and the on-going consolidation among mobile operators within and between regions.

During his time at Informa Paul has been at the forefront of covering major trends that have made the mobile industry what it is today: the development of 3G technology and launch of 3G networks; the (on-going) search for a viable 3G business model; the fall-out on the mobile industry from the bursting of the dotcom bubble; the imposition of roaming regulation; and the consolidation that has taken place among mobile operators and vendors alike.

To stay ahead of events in the industry Paul regularly attends conferences and has regular dialogue with mobile operators, financial analysts, and vendors to gauge and exchange opinion on what trends are shaping the future of the mobile industry and their likely impact on it.
