"The world is in transition and in the year ahead, mobile will be both the protagonist and subject of this instability. The winners in this evolving landscape will be those players that can capitalize on the global mobile gold rush and treat each user as a unique customer."

By 2015, there will be 20 times more mobile data and content and 40 times more mobile transaction spending – increasing the need for improved management of data, traffic and network bandwidth constraints, and services across the entire mobile business market."

"All city drivers dread the routine: reach downtown destination, hunt desperately for a parking spot, curse the driveways and fire hydrants. In San Francisco, however, parking is about to be made easier, thanks to a new network of GPS wireless sensors that will be installed next to the city’s parking meters. The sensors, designed by the local technology company Streetline, will beam data on parking availability to the offices of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which, in turn, will make the information available to the public."
