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 - 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.

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 - 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 - Infrastructure - National Broadband Networks (NBN)

Synopsis
The most critical element to the success of National Broadband Networks (NBN) will be the infrastructure company that will run the network. They will have to make the critical architecture and design decision for the open wholesale-only services which will form the basis of this new infrastructure for at least the next 25 years. Essential here will be that the network will facilitate the vision laid down by governments which include multiple use of the network by other sectors such as healthcare, education, energy, etc. At the same time the company will need to ensure that it remains an infrastructure company and doesn’t become another telco.
Australia was the first country to get the (national purpose) vision right, thanks to government leadership. The USA soon followed and is now showing real leadership as well. The Netherlands and New Zealand also are on the right track. Economic and trans-sector innovations are now key items on the political agenda of these countries. There is no silver bullet and each unique situation generates its own alternatives, which in turn inform others involved in similar national projects. The vision gives rise to the creation of social and economic strategies that need to be taken into account in the design and architecture of the infrastructure. Pragmatic solutions need to be developed to maximise the use of existing infrastructure and other resources. Un(der)served areas need to receive priority and local communities and councils can play a key role in this. Wireless broadband can play a major role as well. These early projects could also be an ideal testing ground for trans-sector applications.

Global - Infrastructure - National Broadband Rollouts Design and Deployment Strategies

Synopsis
After the vision comes the actual design and the roll out of the national broadband networks. Australia was the first country to get the (national purpose) vision right; thanks to government leadership. The USA soon followed and is now showing real leadership as well. The Netherlands and New Zealand are certainly also on the right track. Economic innovation and trans-sector innovations are now key items on the political agenda of these countries. There is no silver bullet and each unique situation brings with it their own alternatives; which in turn assist everybody involved in such national projects, where ever they are. The vision creates social and economic strategies which need to be taken into account in the design and architecture of the infrastructure. Pragmatic solutions need to be developed that allows maximizing the use of existing infrastructure and other resources. Un(der)served areas do need to get a priority and local communities and council can play a key role in this. Wireless broadband can play a key role here. These early project could also be an ideal testing ground for trans-sector applications.

Global - Investing in the Communications Revolution

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this report is that the views of Professor Carlota Perez as expressed here were written well before the financial crisis. This makes this report all the more poignant. At the same time it validates that telecoms has a key role to play in the economic revival. However, this will need to be done in a totally new framework in order to get us through the transition period of the communications revolutions. We are now moving towards what she calls the mass deployment phase, which will be accompanied by unprecedented social and economic benefits – not just for individual nations but, if we do it right, for the global community also.

Global - National Broadband & Trans-sector developments in Australia & New Zealand

Synopsis
This report provides an international case study for the international audience. 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.
Trans-sector thinking will be required to guide us through the next stage of human evolution. We are drawing attention here to the importance of looking across sectors to create synergy. BuddeComm has previously discussed at length the opportunities within the ICT industries of utilizing new telecoms networks for e-health, e-education, smart grids, etc. Apart from this, the report discusses a new way of thinking which also applies across infrastructure projects – looking at the potential synergies between the building of roads, sewerage systems, water and gas pipe networks, as well as telecoms and electricity networks – in short, smart communities.
The focus in this report will be on the national broadband and trans-sector developments in Australia and New Zealand, these countries are leading the world in embracing new government policies and business strategies which are taking their telecommunications industries – as well as several other sectors - into total new directions.

Global - Utilities Broadband - Trends & Analyses

Several obstacles still continue to hinder the BPL industry. For several years the lack of an international standard has held the industry back and questions remain regarding the technical viability of BPL. On a positive note, there is progress in terms of standardisation - in late 2007 a joint IEEE standards proposal was submitted by the HomePlug Powerline Alliance and Panasonic. However, with mainly low-risk-taking utilities involved in this market, they have become unwilling to take-on the telcos in the broadband market. Instead they are more interested to look at the use BPL for smart grid applications and Demand Side Management services. BPL also offers benefits in home networking due to its ubiquity. This report provides an analysis of the market, including an overview of the current and future market, a SWOT analysis, and discussion on latest developments and trends. Further information on Smart Grids can be found in separate reports. Note: Developments are also known as Utilities Broadband or Broadband Utilities.

Smart Cities, Buildings & Communities

Synopsis
The concept of smart communities is based on intelligent infrastructure such as broadband (FttH) and smart grids, so that connected and sustainable communities can be developed. However, before these smart communities can be built, trans-sector policies and strategies need to be developed. They can’t be built from the current silo structure that dominates our thinking; but require a holistic approach which includes environmental issues such as self sufficient energy buildings, energy exchanges for renewable energy and e-cars, delivery of e-health, e-education, e-government services as well as digital media and Internet services. This report discusses and provides examples of some of the developments taking place around the world towards building smart cities and communities.

Smart Grids - Global Overview & Trends

Synopsis
Countries around the world are recognising the urgent need to address issues such global warming, CO2 emissions and the need for energy savings. Electricity generation is the single largest contributor to global CO2 emissions, but also offers the greatest potential for reducing such emissions in the short and medium term. Utilities around the world are in a race to upgrade their decades old infrastructure to make it more intelligent (ie smart grids). This will allow utilities the ability to better manage their network, limit electricity loss, prevent outages, loadshed and provide customers with in-house information and tools (smart meters) to better manage their own energy use. In addition, utilities will be able to reduce their carbon emissions, which will offer interesting opportunities on the carbon trading market. This report provides a global overview of Smart Grid developments including analyses of its importance in terms of environmental issues.

Smart Grids and the Communications Revolution

Synopsis
The communications revolution is an important element of the broader ICT revolution, and it is unfolding before our very eyes. We are right in the middle of a transition from old communications structures (mainly one-way streets) to new intelligent structures that are fully-interactive and video-based. This is not simply a technology-based development – it brings with it massive changes in the way we live, work and communicate. It impacts on healthcare and education, as well as on environmental services such as smart electricity grids. This necessitates collaboration between the various industries such as utilities, telcos, IT, vendors and consultants. As well as the benefits the transformation brings to the nation it also brings with it massive new business opportunities. The energy industry will be one of the last on the planet to be affected by the ICT revolution. A total business transformation will be required over the next 5-10 years.
