By 2020, more than five billion consumers and businesses worldwide will be connected to the Internet and cloud via 20 billion wired and wireless devices. Operators, network suppliers, media providers, component makers, device manufacturers and investment firms face huge opportunities for growth. However, competing technology platforms, intellectual property battles, regulatory burdens and escalating R&D costs and allocation decisions all represent huge barriers to overcome.
