| NOTAS: | "The rapid growth of mobile connections in emerging markets and the hugely beneficial impact of greater connectivity to emerging economies have been the focal points for mobile network operators (MNOs) in these markets thus far. As these emerging markets continue to mature, the focus is shifting rapidly from basic communication toward connecting the next billion users to the mobile Internet. Rapidly changing consumption patterns, the availability of faster networks and more powerful yet more affordable devices, and new channels for content and apps are all fundamentally changing the market. Mobile operators have traditionally dominated this segment but, as elsewhere, they are now faced with significant disruptions in the market." |
