Presented as part of the seminar: Can mobile phones improve agricultural productivity, resilience and food security?
For developing regions keen to seize the opportunities of the Networked Society, ICT facilitates education, financial services, health, safety and security, and livelihoods, in support of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). With more than six billion mobile subscriptions, innovative approaches are still needed to address the needs of the “last” billion users at the base of the pyramid. Ericsson takes a holistic approach by combining technology, global presence and experience in public-private partnerships. By combining competency in developing new business models, with novel approaches we can replicate and scale successful initiatives for the greatest possible impact on the Millennium Development Goals.

User-friendly Education: Ericsson, together with interaction designers, is developing a specific education PC-client for the cloud solutions that will resemble the class room and school environment.
Direct communication channel to all students: When the students start up the PC, there is a ”widget” that is called ”Story of the day”, where the content can be controlled from global level.
Usage reports: A possibility for the ministery of Education to know which equipment is used, how students use it. Real-time tool that can be accessed any time + reports.
Instant updates: Any time any new educational applications or content is added, it immediately becomes available to all students.
Virus Free Environment: Say No to Antivirus software as PCaaS includes 100% guaranteed Virus Protection.
Maintenance Free: Get the latest upgrades and updates without any manual operation. No specific IT knowledge is needed. Global white-list / black-list: Internet white lists or black lists managed from one single location.
Connecting Brazil: Inbuilt communication tools for exchanges between schools in Brazil and in the world. Connecting schools program can be supported with for outside of Brazil under the CTL initiative
Personal Cloud Storage: Each student has their own private storage in the cloud, so that they can access their files independently of which PC they would use.

Key messages:
Based on Ericsson estimates, Q4 showed continued high QoQ mobile subscription growth, Q1 2011 is estimated to continue this trend. India again grew at a very strong pace. Worldwide mobile subscriptions are now approximately 5.3 billion, of which 4.7 billion are GSM/EDGE/WCDMA/HSPA and world total penetration has reached 76%. Mobile subscriptions increased 3,5% in Q410 compared to Q310 with an estimated net addition of 177 million. The YoY growth rate in the GSM/EDGE family (without WCDMS/HSPA) is approximately 12% in Q4. This is slightly lower than the world average growth of 15%. We estimate that 45 million WCDMA subscriptions were added, reaching 634 million.
However, the number of subscribers is likely around 3.8 billion and the number of active subscriptions likely around 4.6 billion
Fixed broadband subscriptions exceed 504 million subscriptions Q3 2010. VoIP includes Cable/Copper/Fiber VoIP. Fixed broadband subscriptions are growing to reach around 640 millions in the outer forecasting years.
The number of fixed broadband users is at least 3 times the number of fixed broadband connections due to multiple usage in households, enterprises, and also in public access spots. (~3.8 people per household is world average, but the ratio is lower in developed countries where most users are today).
Mobile Broadband: CDMA2000 EV-DO, HSPA, LTE, Mobile WiMAX, TDSCDMA. Both mobile PC, Tablets and handheld devices.
Mobile Broadband and Mobile PC/Tablets are subsets of total mobile subscriptions
Fixed Broadband: Cable, xDSL, Fiber,
PC-to-PC VoIP, e.g. Skype, is not included in VoIP numbers
M2M connections not included.
