GSMA Mobile 360 Series 2015

Locations

The Latin America mobile market is now the fourth-largest globally, with almost 326 million unique subscribers. This is expected to grow to thrust this region to the second-highest installed base of smartphones in the world by 2020.

Exponential growth such as this isn’t without its challenges. From mobile operators and regulatory agencies to the financial and investment communities, each must find a way to optimise the growth while sustaining profitability. While adjacent

industries such as automotive, health and utilities must leverage the new opportunities in this growth market.

Mobile connectivity is already playing a key role in inclusion of the underserved in the social and economic development of many African countries, but clearly there is much room for further development. Ideally that development will offer a clear benefit to all within a country’s population: reducing any digital divide; supporting families and businesses; and offering access to essential education, skills and finance to create flourishing local digital economies.

This is a challenge that can only be met through collaboration to overcome critical roadblocks in technology, governance, business models and investment. The Mobile 360 Series - Africa event explores these initiatives through

conference sessions and various co-located programmes.

In 2014, Mobile 360 Series – Africa had

60 countries including 25 Africa nations

representing

Africa

7-9 October 2015

The countries within the Middle East are characterised by significant economic and social differences. While all 15 mobile network operators in the countries of the Gulf Co-operation Council are on track to have commercially launched 4G-LTE by the end of this year, a number of markets in the region still lag behind the global average in terms of 3G penetration.

The GSMA Mobile 360 Series – Middle East conference identifies and addresses key challenges and opportunities applicable in all of these markets, and provides an invaluable opportunity for distinguished regional industry stakeholders from both developed

and emerging markets to share their experiences and further the development of mobile broadband.
