In a new edition of their report ‘Mobile Broadband Cards, Routers, Services, and Subscribers’ Infonetics Research predict mobile broadband cards to be an $8.4 billion market by 2013.

Report highlights:

The mobile broadband card market grew 10% sequentially in the first half of 2009, driven by increasing adoption of HSPA and demand for netbooks

Manufacturer revenue from mobile broadband cards is forecast to hit $8.4 billion worldwide by 2013

Worldwide, the number of mobile broadband subscribers is expected to near 1 billion by 2013 (including phone and PC based W-CDMA/HSPA, CDMA2000/EV-DO, and LTE subscribers)

Mobile subscriber growth is being fueled by people seeking basic voice service, particularly in BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China), all migrating to 3G, which in turn will drive mobile broadband subscriber adoption

CDMA operators have been quicker off the blocks with mobile broadband, rolling out EV-DO earlier than GSM operators upgraded their networks to W-CDMA/HSPA, resulting in significantly higher CDMA2000/EV-DO mobile broadband card adoption

Between 2009 and 2013, worldwide service provider revenue from mobile broadband services is forecast to more than double

Apparel makers are faced with the challenges of designing fashionable styles, producing multiple styles in short runs, managing stock levels, improving delivery speeds, achieving flexibility and versatility, and ensuring that clothes fit well and are of good quality. They also have to produce clothing cost-effectively for a market which is supplied largely from countries with very low wage rates. Given that clothing production is labour intensive, many developments have been geared towards labour-saving automation so that producers in developed countries are more able to compete with low cost countries.

Automation is more appropriate for producers in developed countries than in developing countries where most of the clothing industry is now based. However, it is appropriate in some developing countries where there are growing shortages of skilled labour. In addition, developments are helping companies to achieve higher and consistent quality levels in order to meet the increasingly stringent demands being placed on them by buyers. A growing number of developments is being aimed at the requirements of the industries in specific countries, notably China.

Technological developments are also helping companies to differentiate their product offerings and to operate more efficient supply chains. In doing so, these developments are enabling producers to meet pressures from retailers for quicker delivery times and more efficient management of stock levels.

This report examines developments in four areas of apparel technology: developments in apparel manufacturing technology; developments in garment decoration; three-dimensional clothing design and visualisation technology; and radio frequency identification (RFID). Developments in garment decoration include machines for embroidery, lasers for cutting applications, direct-to-garment digital printing, methods of attaching sequins, and embossing. RFID enables manufacturers and retailers to track the location and progress of a product anywhere in the supply chain. Also an RFID-tagged piece of clothing can be held in front of a “magicmirror” in a retail store to display various types of personalised information.

Executive Summary

The Sector At A Glance

Key Insights On The Oil & Gas Sector Of Iraq

The latest Iraq Oil & Gas Report from It forecasts that the country will account for 6.38% of MEA regional oil demand by 2010, while providing 7.63% of supply. MEA regional oil demand rose to an estimated 10.86mn b/d last year and should average 11.08mn b/d in 2007, before reaching 11.91mn b/d by 2010. MEA gas consumption in 2006 was an estimated 373bcm, with demand of 533bcm targeted for 2010. Production last year of an estimated 510bcm should reach 774bcm by the end of the decade. While Iraq should have begun exporting gas to neighbouring Kuwait during the forecast period, it is not expected to make a significant contribution to either regional gas supply or demand over the short to medium term.

For 2007, the revised It forecasts are for the OPEC basket to average US$55 per barrel. Based on last year’s typical price differentials, this implies Brent at US$58.72, WTI averaging US$59.94/bbl, and Urals at US$55. Our central view is therefore that the OPEC basket price will slip from US$55/bbl this year to US$50 in 2008, before settling around US$45/bbl in 2009/2010. Should OPEC defend successfully our presumed ‘target’ price of US$55/bbl during the challenging months of 2007, then it is reasonable to assume medium-term prices may surprise on the upside.

Iraq real GDP growth is forecast by It at 10.2% for 2007, following an estimated 9.1% in 2006. We are assuming 14.7% growth in 2008, 11.4% in 2009 and 7.7% in 2010. We expect oil demand of an estimated 570,000b/d in 2006 to rise to 800,000b/d in 2011, depending on investment in infrastructure and the development of domestic production. International oil companies (IOCs) are in 2007 expected to join production sharing agreements with the state, which should help accelerate the growth in oil output. Based on the efforts of existing contractors and national oil industry bodies, we are forecasting average oil production of 2.15mn b/d this year. December 2006 production was 1.77mn b/d, with more than 1.4mn b/d of exports. Further field reactivation work and the initial IOC efforts point to output of an estimated 3.1mn b/d in 2011. The government has much more ambitious targets, aiming for 0.5mn b/d annual output expansion and a long-tem goal of 6.0mn b/d. However, there are major risks involving attacks on oil installations, Iraq’s OPEC entitlement and the success of new energy policy in stimulating IOC investment.

In the It Business Environment Ranking matrix, Iraq this quarter receives a slightly lower composite score of 34, which now ranks the country equal fifth out of 16 states included in the MEA region, alongside Angola. The overall business environment can be considered moderately attractive in a regional context, thanks largely to huge oil production upside potential and vast untapped oil and gas reserves. A great opportunity exists for IOCs once the political situation has stabilised and production sharing/licensing terms have been agreed. Political and economic risk remains very high, which offsets the positive factors.

“Encyclopaedia of Indian Tribes and Castes is the result of the need felt by the scholars, researchers, teachers, and administrators for a reference work on Indian ethnology which can rise above the usual complexity and confusion in finding reliable and trustworth information in this vast and highly important area. The vast and detailed information contained in the pages of this pioneering work makes it an ideal and invaluable reference tool for the confirmation of sociological, anthropological, ethnological, historical, and cultural facts about the tribes and castes spread all over the Indian subcontinent.

“Careful research and compilation of an enormous amount of data has produced a collection of about 11,000 tribes and castes, organized by an alphabetical order, in a convenient and otherwise unavailable format. The entries, varying in length and scope of coverage, do not omit any tribal identity howsoever obscure or difficult in finding information on. The result, therefore, provides extraordinary opportunities to the readers for socio-anthropological or administrative research or for the purpose of reference.

“The present work that attempts to put together a large number of identities symbolized by names. Its value lies in its identification of this large number of identities, providing a raw material that can be used in various ways as all such material can be. The biggest and most valuable contribution of this encyclopaedia is in the painstaking process of documentation in which all the references and sources have been clearly indicated. This would greatly help both the scholar and the administrator to trace the source, time and place in which a particular identity has been created.

“A careful comparative scrutiny would help in clearing up many administrative doubts and scholarly inquisitiveness as to identities and their reproduction as well as suppression. The reader might find many names here that are not found in official documents and many that do not exist in any official discourse. Many may be listed as tribes in one place and caste in another.

“The marathon effort that has gone into creating this work is towards building up a comprehensive and reliable data base that would be useful in many different ways. To the critical scholar it would provide raw material that can be reanalyzed and reinterpreted, to the researcher it may provide a clue to identifying a potential “field” of study and to the administrators it would provide a wealth of base line information. It is our hope that the volumes would also be beneficial to the people so identified and named here as “tribes”.

“Grouping information systematically, ‘guided by the historical sense’ and with a clear view of the information needs of the reader, the Encyclopaedia of Indian Tribes and Castes is intended, above all, to be ‘a methodical compendium of social knowledge’” (jacket)
