Half a century ago, the mobile industry connected two people for the first time. Today, the total number of connections is closing in on 11 billion. What does this tell us?
First, it reflects the universal human desire to communicate (and pay to do so).
Second, from the telco point of view, it reveals that for all the success of value added mobile services, our industry’s foundation will always be connectivity. This yearbook – the first ever on wholesale – is your guide across that vast world of connectivity.
