1. What is 4G?



The Next Gen Vision

Distinctions between Portability, Nomadicity and Mobility are eliminated.Connectivity is ABCAlways Best Connected.

Commercial services in multi-user environments targeting peak

data rates approaching 100 Mbps for highly mobile users andup to 1 Gbps for nomadic(low mobility or stationery) users

1. High data rates Efficient spectrum utilization (up to 10 b/s/Hz)

Advanced antenna and modulation techniques

100 Mbps @250 KMph or 1 Gbps nomadic/portable

2. IP/Web based services QoS for peer-peer services

3. Reconfigurable/dynamicservice provisionable

May use sensor/cognitive networks

4. Seamless roamingamong heterogeneous

Non-compatible Heterogeneous Networks? Non-roaming, closed networks

Non-IMS based? P2P, Web 2.0 domination

Business potential viewed with great enthusiasm withindominant and leading markets.

Mobile Search Knee for takeoff : replicate desktop success

M-commerce/M-Wallet SMS messaging enables interactivity with other forms ofentertainment (e.g., Polling)., Credit purchases.

Mobile Gaming Evolving into Casual Gaming with challenges fordistribution and revenue collection.

Mobile e-Mail Going mass scale as productivity enhancer to move into rankand file employees beyond executives and field sales force.

Presence, MMS, InstantConferencing, push-to-video, and mobile news

MusicStation (UK) from Vodafone: Omniphones deal withTelenor (Sweden), 3 (HK), and Vodacom (SA).

Content Focus shifting from Major Media Brand - Formal Contentto User Generated Content in mobile networks. Photoswapping, mobile social media, one-to-one communications

Revenue sharing Music and video sharing, with subscribers via ads and P2PE.g., SeeMeTV by 3 allows video uploaders to get paid whentheir content is downloaded.

Data Service Revenues: A Case Study (Sprint)

Sprints WiMAX Strategy (XOHM) of Open Access creates new openings in their walled garden.

, Oct 2007

Google is close to a deal with VerizonWireless and SprintNextel over its new mobilephone. An agreement is likely to reached within two weeks for launch of a Google phonein the middle of 2008. The central feature of the Google handset will be an openoperatingsystem that will encourage developers to create apps beyond search,

interactive communications and social networking.(Wall Street Journal Oct 31, 2007)

As an open access operator, challengesrelated to security, privacy and billing are

compounded due to complexity of multiplevirtual providers. Billing options to include flat(advanced payment) or transaction based.

By 2012, sales of unsubsidized devices(non-laptop) are expected to contributesignificantly to the top line. These includehandsets, cameras, printers, Internet tablets,PDAs, gaming and video devices.

Elephant in the Room: How to compensate for ICI?(i.e., Network Roaming Agreements*)

Mechanisms (e.g., IPSphere) not likely to be in place till 09-10* Sprint exited agreement with Clearwire partly due to lack of a viable ICI

(Reuters, 11/9/07).
