2013 Mobile Industry Predic6ons Survey

First things rst. From all of us at Chetan Sharma ConsulKng, we wish you and yours a very happy, healthy, and prosperous 2013. My thanks to all who parKcipated in our 2013 Mobile PredicKons Annual Survey. It gives our community an insiders view of the trends and predicKons for the New Year. 2012 was a terric year for the mobile industry. Mobile data conKnued to drive most of the mobile growth around the world. Mobile also started impacKng every major verKcal industry around the globe. In fact, mobile has become so ingrained in the fabric of business producKvity and social interacKon that it is not longer the new growth engine, it has become the engine. The compeKKve dynamics stayed quite vibrant in 2012. We saw epic ba=les in the markets as well as in the courts. 2012 also saw the PC value chain struggling for relevance while the smartphones and tablets unit sales captured all the a=enKon and headlines. As we peer into 2013, we will see the total number of cellular subscripKons eclipsing humans on the planet. The connected device made steady progress. Anything that should be connected is being connected - creaKng a web of new opportuniKes and challenges.

LTE has become the fastest deployed cellular technology in the approximately 35 year history of the industry. Broadband combined with connected devices and applicaKons are changing the way we live, we interact with others, do business, and consume informaKon. The European economic crisis impacted many players especially the large telcos, making the transiKon to digital ever more urgent. As voice and messaging revenue curves decline and access revenue approaches its high mark in the next few years, investment in the fourth curve becomes criKcal for all players. Our annual survey is a way for us to engage our community on the trends for the next year. We put some of the pressing quesKons to our colleagues and industry leaders. We are able to glean some valuable insights from their choices and comments, some tangible shiZs, and get a sense of whats to come. ExecuKves, developers, and insiders (n=200) from leading mobile companies and startups from across the value chain and from around the world parKcipated to help see what 2013 might bring to keep us on our toes. What makes this survey unique is that it draws upon the collecKve wisdom of folks who are at the center of the mobile evoluKon. The survey provides a view of how they see the upcoming year for mobile.
