Opportunities for telcos in mobile money: 2011
As the
smartphone becomes more central to what we do day-to-day, mobile and electronic
payments are transforming the payment landscape . How can telco operators define
the areas where they can add value, whether directly to the end user or as an
intermediary elsewhere in the value chain?
Download a copy of the Ernst &
Young's report - 'Mobile Money - mobility redefined' to find out how.

Mobile innovation in Asia
At the
GSMA's Mobile Asia Congress, it was clear that telcos in Asia Pacific are
looking to expand their networks, tackle capacity challenges and determine how
to expand their range of services. After all, with 6 million new connections
being added every month from the Asian marketplace, opportunity is knocking.

* Fast forward - Strategies for success
in tomorrow’s hot new markets
Ernst & Young's report
Fast forward: Strategies for success in tomorrow's hot new markets examines
how yesterday's developing countries have become today's fast-growing economies.

their implications for global businesses:
-
a reversal of
fortune and challenges that both fast-growth and developed economies will
face
-
the intensely
competitive global market, with competitors emerging from new places
-
the
importance of a global mindset to succeed in a globalized world.

The fifth
Capital Confidence Barometer reports surprising appetite for deals despite
market turbulence.
Of note:

Future M&A
activity fuelled by stronger balance sheets and falling debt levels

Large
corporates can draw upon cash war chests
-

consensus around asset values sees 30% rise in potential sellers come to the
table
