What’s NOT Going to Happen in Technology Markets in 2010?
For the fifth consecutive year, ABI Research puts a different twist on the traditional December activity of surveying the year just past and speculating about what the new one will bring, with a white paper titled "What’s Not Going to Happen in 2010." The paper is available for free download from the company's website.
Compared to this time last year, things seem to be looking up on a number of fronts. However the economic and geopolitical turmoil of the past twelve months will have effects that may need years to play out. It’s a bold analyst who will make definitive statements about what is going to happen even in the short-term (although that won’t stop many from trying!)
Slightly easier is discerning the developments that are very unlikely in the coming year. So a dozen of ABI Research’s experts have put their heads together to debunk some of the most-hyped predictions about what will happen in tech-related industries around the world. They cover a wide terrain including mobile devices and applications, femtocells, mobile financial services, online video and pay-TV, social networking, data security, Wi-Fi, telepresence, navigation, telematics and location-based services, mobile networks, “green” technologies, and RFID.
Will anybody release a true iPhone-killer? Will cheap Chinese handsets disrupt the market?
Will femtocells hit the mass market? Will Pay-TV lose out to Internet video?
Will LTE hit the market in a big way in 2010? Will RFID spending decrease?
With its mix of expert opinion, informed assessments and wry humor, "What’s Not Going to Happen in 2010" makes for a lively and informative read.
