Abstract :
Technology evolution in storage, processing, communications, sensors and terminals is making boundaries among IT and telecommunications fuzzier than ever, and at the same time it creates overlap across the industries. Telcos want to become media companies, Computer companies drop the word "computer" from their name, SecondLife mashes onto Google.. These changing boundaries are opening up new opportunities. Can the established companies reposition themselves or are they too busy to compete against each other to perceive that the market is going somewhere else. The presentation aims to stimulate new thinking on what may happen and what role each of us can play. In this talk I would like to share with you some ideas on some classes of technology roadmaps discussing the likely impact on the biz of Telecommunications.
