The dawn of the Gigabit Internet age: every bit counts
Faster connection speeds can enable more “bursty” connections

 In 2016 only a limited number of
 connectivity technologies are likely to be
 capable of Gbit/s service:
 FTTH                   FTTP
 FTTB                   DOCSIS 3.1

  The faster and more ubiquitous that fiber
  technologies become, the greater the
  incentive for cable networks to update
  their networks, and vice-versa.

VoWiFi vs. VoIP

About 100     mobile operators worldwide will be offering at least one packet-based voice service at the end of
2016, double the amount year-on-year, and six times higher than at the beginning of 2015.

                                              • To increase network capacity
                                              • To extend the reach of their voice services
VoLTE/VoWiFi: capacity, reach and capability
VoWiFi vs. VoIP
A network operator managed and controlled service
  •Users: calls less likely to be dropped
  •Carriers: more control over the revenue stream
Offers native calling
  •No need to open an app to make or receive calls.
The cost of VoWiFi extending reach may be relatively low
  •Operators need to deploy an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS)
It can reduce operator costs
  •Calls place on a smartphone would be carried over the consumer’s broadband network freeing up some
    cellular capacity
  •It enables traffic to be off-loaded to another network

Whether an operator launches first one of the two services or it launches both will be influenced by three
factors

Photo sharing: trillions and rising
In 2016,2.5 trillion             photos will be shared or stored online, a 15% increase on the prior year. About three-
quarters of this total will likely be shares, and the remainder online backups.

The expected network impact of all this sharing will be about 3.5 exabytes, a 20% increase over the previous year.
