Abstract

2009 is expected to be a crucial year for the take-off of mobile broadband services. With the continuous growth of mobile data service revenues, both femtocell and MID (Mobile Internet Device) shipments are projected to see substantial growth in the coming years. This research seeks to outline the opportunities and challenges for two said products in light of current innovative mobile broadband services.

MIC Perspective

Appendix

Judging from the trends presented above, it is expected that mobile broadband development will eventually lead to the embedding of WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network) chipsets in all kinds of IT products. Furthermore, mobile communications operators are expected to become the foremost channel distributors of ICT terminal devices and take a leading role in specification development. With their sizable subscriber base and advantage of offering subsidies, mobile communications operators will likely become power buyers of ICT devices in the future, a development expected to play an instrumental role in changing the operating mechanism of the ICT industry.
