“In
this new Connected Life, mobile will transform society and will have a profound
effect on the way we interact not only with each other, but also with our
surroundings. However, capitalising on this enormous opportunity requires
collaboration across the entire ecosystem to demonstrate how mobile technology
in everything from tablet PCs to new healthcare devices can enhance people’s
personal and business lives,” O’Hara added.
The
sectors that will benefit from this collaboration include the consumer
electronics industry, which could generate direct revenues of US$445 billion;
the automotive sector, which could generate US$202 billion in revenues; the
health sector, which could see growth of US$69 billion; and the utilities
sector, which could see an additional US$36 billion in revenue by 2020.
Mobile
operators can benefit from this important revenue opportunity by addressing key
areas of the value chain such as service provision and system integration, as
well as collaborating more closely with vertical industry sectors to provide
compelling new services to their customers.
Mobile
operators are uniquely placed to work in partnership with other industries to
enable this opportunity because they provide ubiquitous network connectivity;
deliver proven customer care, billing and distribution capabilities; and
represent a trusted brand for consumers and businesses
