 by Research and Markets, Chile's telecom market will rebound with a 4.4% CAGR from 2010
 through 2015, reaching $6.1bn, propelled by significant increases in fixed and mobile data

According to a study by Cisco “Visual Networking Index (VNI) Forecast and Methodology, 2009-
2014 “, mobile data traffic is estimated to surge by as much as 39 times during the five year
period from 2009 to 2014. By 2014, the annual global mobile data traffic is expected to reach 3.5
exabytes per month i.e. a run rate of over 42 exabytes on a yearly basis. Mobile data traffic will
be the strongest in the Middle East and Africa followed by the Asia-Pacific and North America as
revenue from voice gets saturated and operators focus on alternate sources of revenue

Increased spectrum availability for wireless broadband is a top requirement to accommodate
data traffic growth. According to Cisco's VNI index, data traffic will grow 16 times and video
traffic 20 times by 2014 wireless broadband

"Expect to see smartphones accounting for a growing proportion of the wider mobile phone
market as they become increasingly affordable to more customers," Canalys senior analyst Pete
Cunningham said in a statement. "By 2013, smartphones will grow to represent over 27% of
shipments worldwide, with the proportion in some developed markets in western Europe
surpassing 60%, and 48% in North America.

 Ericsson has estimated that, by 2015, there will be 3.5 billion mobile broadband users around the world,
compared to the 500+ million that use it at present

 According to a recent Analysys Mason report, the total data traffic volume in 2015 will be more than 30 times that
of 2010. Operators will need to make capital investments to increase capacity in order to meet this demand

 According to In-Stat, “WCDMA-HSPA base stations will be the workhorses of wireless data networks”. 2009 saw
overall deployments of newly deployed macro base stations up 10% on 2008, driven by the rising demand for
smartphones and mobile broadband, meaning that most of the increase will have come from WCDMA-HSPA.
WCDMA-HSPA base stations will account for at least 50% of total revenue in this segment in 2009. By 2013
WCDMA-HSPA will contribute 70% of revenues in the sector

Some industry forecasts (10)



 UK consultancy firm, Coda Research Consultancy, has predicted that mobile data consumption in the US is set
to reach 327,000 terabytes a month by 2015, indicating a 40-fold rise in mobile data consumption over 5 years

 Mobile data traffic from PC modems and routers is forecast to increase 4-fold between 2010 and 2014, according
to a report by ABI Research. 2,000 petabytes of data will be sent and received in 2010, a figure that will rise to about
8,000 petabytes in 2014

 Semiannual US wireless industry survey was released at CTIA in March 2010 revealing that wireless service
revenues totaled $77 billion for the last half of the year. The real growth is coming from wireless data services - mobile
Web, text messages, and other non-voice services. In the latter half of last year, revenue for wireless data service
totaled > $22 billion, nearly a third of overall wireless services revenue and up 26% YoY. Steve Largent, President
and CEO of CTIA, said in a statement. "Mobile broadband will increasingly play a vital role in people’s lives."

 A study by Juniper Research has forecast that more than 1 in 10 mobile subs will either have a ticket delivered to
their mobile phone or buy a ticket with their phone by 2014, representing a five-fold growth over the next five years.

Some industry forecasts (11)



A Report Predicts Explosive European Growth for Mobile Broadband - According to a CCS Insight report,
Mobile Broadband in Europe, 4Q09 - the total Mobile Broadband subscribers in key European markets will rise
from 22m at the end of 2009 to over 43m in 2011. In addition, total revenue from Mobile Broadband access in the
major markets will rise from less than €6 billion in 2009 to more than €11 billion in 2011

Cisco Systems predicts in its Visual Networking Index that mobile-ready devices and mobile video will fuel
enormous global growth in mobile data traffic over the next four years - The Pentagon and broadcast
networks can expect continuing pressure to turn over some of their spectrum to make more airwaves available to
the private sector. According to Cisco Systems, global mobile data traffic increased 160% in 2009 to 90 petabytes
per month. Cisco predicted that "annual global mobile data traffic will reach 3.6 exabytes per month globally or an
annual run rate of 40 exabytes by 2014," (39 fold increase from 2009 to 2014, or a CAGR of 108%) and noted that
such traffic "is growing today 2.4 times faster than global fixed broadband data traffic.“ Cisco says that, by that
date, there will be more than five billion personal devices connecting to mobile networks, as well as billions of
machine-to-machine devices. Video will represent 66% of all mobile data traffic by 2014, up 66-fold from 2009.

Some industry forecasts (12)



Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA)

The results from an industry survey organized last year by GSA provided an expectation that HSPA+ mobile
broadband technology would enter the mainstream during 2010. GSA confirms this is now becoming reality
as HSPA+ is now commercially launched on almost 1 in 5 of HSPA networks.

63 HSPA+ systems have now entered commercial service in 35 countries. Another 53 HSPA+ networks are in
deployment or planned. By the end of 2010 GSA expects that 95 – 100 HSPA+ systems will be in commercial
service

The eco-system includes 50 HSPA+ devices which have been announced by 11 suppliers.

  • 3. Mobile Broadband Growth Success (1) Rogers Wireless: Wireless network revenue growth was fuelled by data revenue growth of 39% and net sub additions of 119,000. Wireless data revenue now comprises 27% of Wireless network revenue and was helped by the activation and upgrade of approximately 385,000 additional smartphone devices, of which approx 35% were for subs new to wireless. This resulted in subs with smartphones, who generate ARPU nearly twice that of voice only subs, representing 35% of the overall postpaid subscriber base as at June 2010, up from 25% as at June 2009. Vodacom Group: good mobile broadband progress; data revenue up by 43.2% to ZAR 350 million in Q2 2010. Pieter Uys, CEO said: "This was a positive start to our financial year with overall Group service revenue increasing 3.1% in constant currency. Our continued focus on broadband leadership paid off with Group data revenue growing 43.2%.“ In H1 2010, Swisscom sold 585,000 mobile devices, of which nearly half were smartphones. Revenue from mobile data traffic with Swisscom customers rose in comparison with the previous year by 33% www.gsacom.com Global mobile Suppliers Association © 2010 Mobile Broadband Growth: August 2010 Slide no. 3/50
  • 4. Mobile Broadband Growth Success (2) According to the latest research from Strategy Analytics, global mobile handset shipments grew 13% YoY, to reach 308 million units in Q2 2010 According to a report by Canalys "Worldwide, shipments of smartphones were up by 64% in the second quarter as the devices reached down to the mass market and became a steadily larger percentage of the total handset base”. Apple shipped 8.4 million iPhones worldwide in Q2 2010, up 61% from 5.2 million units in Q2 2009. On 21st July 2010, Telenor’s CEO Jon Fredrik Baksaas stated “In the Nordic region, high demand for mobile data is contributing to the solid growth in organic mobile revenues. The mobile network upgrades are on track, with pick-up in investments in the coming quarters. In addition, the work on further cost reductions will continue,” In advance of the launch of the iPhone 4 in Ireland, stats released by Irish mobile internet services company Digital Reach Group (DRG) show an 85% surge in traffic from iPhone handsets in Q2 2010, compared to Q2 2009. Gavan Drohan, Operations Director of DRG, says: "The huge growth in mobile traffic shows that users are increasingly browsing on devices other than their PCs. Smartphones have encouraged day-long internet snacking instead of lengthy evening sessions in front of a PC.” www.gsacom.com Global mobile Suppliers Association © 2010 Mobile Broadband Growth: August 2010 Slide no. 4/50
