New Internet Trends and Technologies and Their Impacts on Telecom Industry

With never-ending changes and improvements and an increasing industrial scale of the Internet, the emerging new application trends, such as social networking, network video, intelligent search and mobile Internet, and new Internet technologies, such as Mashup, artificial intelligence, grid computing and open platform, are significantly influencing the Internet industrial structure. Moreover, the rapid development of the Internet and the convergence of the Internet and telecom networks, especially the development of mobile Internet, are giving the telecom industry a shock. This shock will certainly change the structure of the telecom industry, gradually break the monopoly status of telecom operators, shift the telecom emphasis to services and contents, and enhance the importance of terminal vendors in the industrial chain.
