Digital Media - E-Education & E-Science

The Internet and associated Web 2.0 technologies has further broadened the quality and possibilities for remote education and the ‘virtual classroom’. Tele-education is also becoming increasingly important in training health professionals in remote areas. Corporations and universities are continuing to adopt e-learning solutions in an effort to lower costs and provide training and education to a wider audience. It is thought that the current economic environment will see e-learning growth being curtailed somewhat as companies reign in spending on non-essential training; however this climate may also promote e-learning as a cheaper alternative to classroom style training. This report provides an overview of e-education and identifies key trends. Brief case studies on Australia and the developing market of Africa are also provided. The report also introduces and analyses the concept of E-Science.

Digital Media - Home Media Centres, Home Networks & DVR

Home networking and home media centres continue to evolve and the technologies are converging to incorporate a variety of consumer electronics devices, from digital TVs, to multi-room DVRs, digital media adapters, set top boxes, Blu-ray players and game consoles. The drive to incorporate IP-based connectivity in more consumer electronic (CE) and PC devices is being driven by both telecom/network operators and consumer electronics manufacturers. TVs are fast becoming the focus for home media centres and some TVs and game consoles, such as a flat panel display by Vizio and Microsoft’s Xbox 360, can already stream movies and content straight from the Internet. Sales of networked TV equipped with wireless functionality are also expected to increase in the years ahead.

Digital Media - Impact on the Media Industry

Synopsis
In 2010 the new digital media continue to undermine the traditional media’s privileges and their grip on their monopolies. For the past few years they have all been jockeying for a position in this new Internet economy. Major sectors include TV and radio broadcasting, newspaper publishers, film and video industries. However, they have not been able to compete with new digital media companies such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, eBay, Skype, Amazon, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft and others. To a certain extent there will be parallel developments: one driven by Digital TV, using the traditional broadcasting networks and one driven by broadband using new fixed and mobile telco infrastructure. This report broadly describes and analyses the effect that digital media and convergence is having on the media industry.

Digital Media - IPTV

Europe and Asia have had the most dynamic IPTV markets over the past few years, but recently in the USA the telcos’ IPTV plans, on the back of their fibre deployments, have started to gather significant momentum. However on the whole, around the world, customers continue to be more interested in the web based broadband video applications rather than IP based TV. The economic downturn may also deter telcos from expanding their IPTV coverage over the next couple of years and subscriber growth could be curbed as consumers’ reign in their spending on luxury services. This report includes brief case studies of key markets and broad statistics and forecasts. For information on online video services over the web see separate report.

Digital Media - Online Video Media

Online video consumption has so far proved popular with the success of Google’s YouTube being well documented. In 2009 YouTube continues to dominate in terms of viewers, however new business models are emerging that explore better ways to generate revenue from such sites.

Digital Media - Social Media Networks, Online Gaming & Virtual Worlds

Synopsis
Social media developments are fascinating and exciting. They show the great potential of the new communication and information tools that are becoming available thanks to the Internet, Web 2.0, email and broadband infrastructure. However, for these new social media tools to succeed, they need to be fully and totally integrated into our daily communication. Current social media sites such as Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Plaxo, Twitter, YouTube, Wikipedia, Google and Second Life are great incubators for these new services; they provide us with new tools and allow us to experiment. This report includes BuddeComm’s assessment of social media as a communication tool and includes information on some of the most prominent social media sites, including broad statistics. Online gaming, particularly games based on virtual simulations are increasingly becoming linked in with social networking services. This report also provides a broad global overview and statistics on the online gaming and gambling market.

Global - Analysis - Business Opportunities beyond Structural Telecom Changes

It has become clear that the structure of the telecoms industry in the future will be significantly different from the vertically-integrated industry that has been in existence for the last hundred years. With telecoms expanding beyond voice into data-based applications, based on Internet technologies such as IP, the market is rapidly opening itself up to a range of new services. These changes will create a boom in new business activities based on a more economic utilisation of the infrastructure. The business opportunities beyond the structural changes are enormous, especially in the field of value-added infrastructure such as data centres.

Global - Broadband - High Level Overview

Synopsis
People are beginning to change their mindset regarding broadband. The discussions of the past were all about high-speed Internet access and the level of speed provided. However Internet access will be just one of many services that will be delivered over broadband infrastructure. Far more importantly, other services that depend on high quality broadband infrastructure include telehealth, e-education, e-business, digital media, e-government, smart meters etc. In countries where the national telco is lagging behind we see that local governments have no choice other than to take a leadership role, as they have done with similar infrastructure over the last 100 years. This report analyses the various functions of broadband infrastructure, why cities should become involved, and what the role of the telcos should be.

Global - Broadband - Regulating Fibre Access

Countries with effective and strong regulatory policies are forging ahead with a lively fibre footprint and the financial crisis is providing further emphasis on FttH. This report examines how, when regulators get the issue between their teeth and act, the fibre sector moves ahead because operators are no longer put off by regulatory uncertainty. By promoting effective fibre regimes, regulators are in turn supported by governments, conscious of the socio-economic benefits of fast broadband networks, and the consideration that such networks are vital to national infrastructure. In this report we also include a detailed case study of developments in Europe as they are important on a global scale. Europe’s regulatory policies aim to encourage fibre infrastructure investment while promoting competition.

Global - Convergence - Cable Market

The concept of cable TV superhighways (offering more than just TV) started to emerge in the early 1990s. Initially the cable TV operators were looking at Video-on-Demand services. This proved to be too difficult and other TV based services such as iTV didn’t have the right business model. At the same time, telephone companies indicated that they would move into video media. Cable operators towards the end of the 90s started to explore the more lucrative broadband services. This has been a great success story. The move is now towards the concept of ‘Triple Play’, providing voice, data and video services. This report provides an overview of the cable market sector including a regional overview and global cable market statistics for the cable telephony, modem and TV markets.

Global - Economic Crisis - Strategic Developments for Comms during the Crisis

Synopsis
The financial crisis has led to a major rethink on how the various political, social and economic systems operate. Instead of repairing broken systems, new approaches are being developed which are better-suited to the current environment. Telecoms investments play a key role in most economic stimulus packages. And with government involvement, we can work on ways to use the telecommunications networks for the national good. BuddeComm has been involved in generating government policies around open networks, structural separation and trans-sectoral developments on three continents. This report discusses some of the high-level strategic developments occurring as a result of the economic crisis. A separate report discusses in more detail the importance of maintaining this momentum of change beyond the crisis; See Global - Economic Crisis - Strategic Vision for Comms after the Crisis.

Global - Economic Crisis - Strategic Vision for Comms after the Crisis

Synopsis
The financial crisis has provided the stimulus for change. The fact that governments had to intervene sharply to keep the economies afloat is a clear indication that there is a need for them to be involved. The crisis is a unique opportunity to develop new policies, vision and strategies that allow us to move in a better direction, where investments are also judged within the context of social, environmental and economic benefits. If we are able to maintain the momentum of change beyond the crisis we will see that communications can play a key role in the recovery phase, at which point we can form new structures. Communications provides pivotal infrastructure for the emerging digital economy. Its benefits will be trans-sectoral. ICT (web 2.0) which will also provide more equal access to information and decision-making processes (which could prevent future derailments). The Internet and social media are leading the way here. In this report we are again inspired by the work of Professor Carlota Perez. A separate report is also available that discusses some of the high-level strategic changes currently taking place around the world, see Global - Economic Crisis - Strategic Developments for Comms during the Crisis.

Global - Fast broadband and Trans-sector policies

As the discussion continues about the need for intelligent networks and ‘smarts’ in virtually everything it becomes obvious that we must move away from the decision-making processes that have brought us to the point of financial crisis, environmental crisis and to the monopolistic and dogmatic regimes that have developed in the telecoms sector. Around the world debates are heating up in the search for new and better ways to find solutions for these crises. There is more or less universal agreement that a linear continuation of the past will lead to more problems and, eventually, utter chaos and destruction.

Global - Industry - An Introduction to Telecommunications

Telecommunications started in the nineteenth century with the telegraph, and developed through the telephone and radio to TV to satellites and the Internet etc. The data transmitted has advanced from signals (Morse code) through voice to pictures and data and, with the development of convergence, to combinations of these. Every year, new technologies increase the services available and the speed of delivery. A combination of factors is resulting in the ever-decreasing cost of these services. This free report gives an overview of this development, and the role of regulators to control it.
