Please visit www.telecomcircle.com for the full blog.

* Greater focus on data services and fewer tariff wars as focus shifts to managing EBIDTA margins
* Both the handset manufacturers and operators would focus on the handset OS platform
* Smart Phones likely to be the fastest growing category amongst handsets
* Handset vendors to aggressively push GPS
* Mobile RSS Feeds and Widgets to emerge stronger
* Social Networking (esp. IM+eMail) to be the driver of Internet adoption on mobiles
* Music, video, gaming and location to adopt the social networking platform which would in turn drive their adoption
* Mobile Money Transfer (MMT) to gain traction with Central Banks across the world coming out with regulations in favour of MMT considering the convenience and high penetration of mobiles
* Mobile applications to get mainstream
* Carrier Walled Gardens would disappear leading to better content development by independent VAS companies
* 4G technology debate to be decided in favour of LTE. WiMax would go down fighting but will still manage substantial installations as a support to 3G/LTE
* Consolidation amongst carrier and cross-border deals in emerging markets likely to give boost to M&A activities
* Mobile entertainment to grow as the cheapest source of entertainment during the tough economic conditions

CLARIFICATION REQUESTED:
What go you mean by: WiMAX likely to lose?

The only bullet point you make is:

4G technology debate to be decided in favour of LTE. WiMax would go down fighting but will still manage substantial installations as a support to 3G/LTE

Does that mean mobile WiMAX will die when LTE goes mainstream? And when will that be? Any chance it might co-exist with LTE?

Samsung seems to be moving at the speed of 4G with making devices co exist with different networks, and profiles, with there new programmable CDMA GSM, Wimax, LTE platform. Good work Samsung for moving fast forward, this news changes the landscape of these technology's. And keeps wimax alive. And obsoletes what was yesterday. You stepped it up a notch with other chip makers, device makers. I never want to hear again that oposite profiles wont or cant work in harmony. Thanks Kobe
