From current 8 Bn. expected 50 Bn. devices by 2020 • Innovations beyond imagination • Everybody wants everything. Goggle..internet, goggle voice, now goggle phone……Hunger for speed, more

  6. ASIA • Asia covers an area of 44.58 Mn Sq Km, about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area. • The continent was the site of many of the first civilizations. • More than 4 Bn. Population, about 60 percent of the world's population. 1.4 billion of those people live in China. Seven out of ten of the most populated Countries are in Asia.

  7. Telecom in Asia • 4.8 Bn. mobile subscribers ie. two thirds of the world’s population by 2016 end. By 2020, almost three quarters of the world’s population – or 5.7 billion mobile subscribers( Including 3.1 Bn. from Asia Paciic) • Out of proposed addition of 860 Mn, two third (580 M.) would be from Asia Pacific, which will include 310 Mn from India. • Mobile broadband are 55% of total in 2016, expected to rise to three quarters of the connections base by 2020. The proportion of 4G connections is forecasted to almost double from 23% to 41% by 2020. • 5G networks are forecast to cover around a third of the global population by 2025, with adoption reaching 1.1 billion connections.

  8. Issuing Confronting Asian Telecom • Technologies continuous up gradations requiring investments, rising customers expectations • Driving 3G, 4G, 5G or beyond • Declining ARPU • Exponential Data Growth • Near Death of traditional telecom due to IP Networks/social media, VOIP • Telecom highest Diesel consumer, need for Green • Mobile Social Networking • National Security issues. • Cyber crimes, Phishing, Data Thefts • Entire Country can be brought to standstill and virtually collapsed…airports, railways, power generation, modern day war machines

  9. Protectionism by Countries • World leaders pledged to resist protectionism and support free trade in order to speed the economic recovery and avoid the mistakes of the 1930s as the center piece of the London G20 summit in April, 2009 • Governments around the world have continued to push up trade barriers in spite of above • There is surge in anti-dumping complaints as crisis-stricken companies take action against foreign competitors they might have tolerated in better times. Anti-dumping investigations increased 28 per cent last year compared with 2007. • As per WTO, most affected have been agricultural products – particularly dairy – iron and steel, autos, chemicals and plastics, and textiles and clothing. • Various Governments introduced programmes to support automakers, pulp and paper producers and others. A total of 19 governments reported moves to support financial institutions.

  10. Priorities for World • Global Poverty & inequality • Inspite of quite phenomenal growth during last decade • Almost half of the world’s population lives below the poverty line • The lower 50% possess less than 1% of the world’s wealth • Over a billion people suffer from chronic malnutrition • Three billion do not have access to clean water or proper sanitation • Along with poverty, inequality has risen dramatically and dangerously • The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), adopted in 2000, were meant to solve these issues by 2015. Not much hope to achieve that. • Climate Change… A SERIOUS ISSUE • While climate change has been described as the greatest challenge (and threat) mankind has ever had to face, it could also be the greatest opportunity. It will ultimately stand out as the test of whether humanity can engage in collaborative survival or is doomed to conflictual destruction. • Sustainable and inclusive development is possible. Are we ready to work for it?

  11. WHY CAN NOT ATIE LEAD? • Fragmented, Non focused, • only one meeting a year • Lack of industry to industry cooperation • No web site, No secretariat • Zeal and Passion needed • Can we say…we need a crazy leader?

  12. Way forward • There needs to be more dialogue among ourselves, intellectuals. As opinion leaders, we have the task of projecting the relationship on a broader perspective. • Leveraging strength of each ATIE members. • Need to extend the relationship from association-association to people-people, industry-industry level. • Actively explore new ways of further elevating cooperation.

  13. And • ATIE website incorporating all members website, so that interested people can get the required information on products and technology. • CMAI has opened ATIE desk within India. • Can we all have a desk for ATIE?

  14. Can we dream? • Prime Minister of India has invited leaders of all the 10 Asian Countries to join as State Guests on 26th January 2018, Republic Day of India. • Can we launch Global ATIE on that date?

  15. Some out of Box thoughts? Do we need to have AEF and ATIE independently, as most members are common. WEF can remain separate without any doubt.
