Enabling smart communications

The communications, media and entertainment sector has been at the forefront of the changes driven by tech savvy consumers in a smart world. The new business models being forced on the music industry by consumer access to downloads are well documented. Similar challenges are being seen in the newspaper world with the ongoing debate as to how to monetise online content.

In addition the communications companies that provide the connectivity, which underpins this smart world, are faced with considerable challenges. Smart communications will drive the requirements for ever more bandwidth. The providers will have to find new ways of sharing the value provided.

This sector also provides the strongest examples of companies that have seized its opportunities and profited from them, ranging from Apple’s iPhone to Google AdWords.
