Europe 2020 and the Digital AgendaSpeech by Commissioner N. Kroes

Barcelona, Mobile World Congress, 15 February, 2010

The transition to next generation, Internetbased environments is the sectors

greatest challenge since market liberalisation. It is also a chance to offer new value-added services, which will generate new

revenues. The availability of high quality content should drive take-up of new technologies,

in particular broadband internet, digital television and mobile communication.


e new y-a op e regu a ory ramewor or e ecoms prov es a suppor ve anpredictable environment for this scenario to unfold.

With regard to Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband, we will come forward inJune with an ambitious and comprehensive European strategy. A key element of itwill of course concern wireless and mobile services.

This will require an appropriate and coordinated action also on radio spectrum issues.Spectrum is a scarce resource and we all agree that an efficient use of the radio

bandwidth becoming available with the switch to digital technologies, the so-calleddigital dividend, and other coordinated actions are needed to allow better and moreinnovative mobile services.

European Telecoms Sector :

350 billion in revenues in 2008Telecoms sector revenues: > 50% of ICT Sector

(51% mobile, 49% fixed)

Investment: >50 BEuros /year

European Mobile markets are maturing:Revenue growth was 3.8% in 2007, to 137B, + 1.3% in 2008With 550+ million mobile phones in use (end 2008), penetration is now at a notional120% of population (up from 100% in 2006).SMS=11% of revenue other data= 7% of revenue. 3G subscri tions at end of 2008 were


8

92 million.

Competition drives fast broadband growth:Revenues from fixed (broadband) data grew to 62B (from 58,5B) in 2007.14 million broadband lines were added in 2008, bringing the total to 113M, andpenetration in the EU27 to >50% of households.The Netherlands and Denmark now have the highest broadband penetration rates (>30%

per capita) in the world. Eight Member States have higher broadband penetration ratesthan the US.

Economic impact of boosting Europes Digital Economy

[Source: European Commission Digital Competitiveness report (04/08/2009) ]

More competition in broadband will generate 580billion andcreate 700 000 jobs by 2015.

Increased take-up of 3G services will generate 242 billion by


.

Better spectrum management can grow GDP by 0.1% annuallyand inject billions into the EU economy.

Using the digital dividend for wireless broadband in the EU canbring 150 - 200 billion in benefits.

a) Wireless and mobile broadband systems

LTE-Advanced and post-LTE systems; with focus on mediumterm evolution of LTE systems towards higher rate LTE-Advanced

with support to standardisation; in the longer-term, R&D targetingnew radio transmission paradigms and system designs taking intoaccount new constraints such as the need for radical cost andenergy per bit reduction and lower electromagnetic field exposure.

Enabling technologies for flexible spectrum usage for mobile


,

as well as proof-of-concept reference implementations, taking intoaccount commercial and regulatory constraints and opportunities. Novel radio network topologies, taking into account the need for

autonomy, energy efficiency, high capacity backhaul, low EMF radioexposure, and smaller low power base stations.

Integration of radio technologies with optical fibre networks,for consolidation of mobile and wireless networks into integratedcommunication systems (using e.g. femto-cells) which can deliverultra high speed wireless access in the home, the street or in theenterprise.

Beyond LTE: Mobile access to the Internet

Some issues for the future

Internet data follows a Moores Law

5G/6G will need ever larger bandwidth

There will be extra demand for spectrum


Mobile wireless: more wireless than mobile?

4G LTE/WIMAX are designed for data

Voice is a retro-fit

A paradigm shift in (green) receiver design? What follows OFDM?
