Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (Fraunhofer FOKUS) has introduced a mobile multimedia service which will make sure football fans do not miss any action of matches even when they are on the move.
The service abbreviated as FUSECO Playground would be highly beneficial for developers in researching and testing prototypes for next generation mobile broadband applications. Even the components and protocols could be developed and practically field-tested.
The makers are planning its launch on May 17, 2010 at the 6th International Testbed Conference “TridentCom2010" in Berlin. Fraunhofer FOKUS has joined hands with Technische Universität Berlin, the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz Institute and Deutsche Telekom Laboratories to make this project a reality.
The company feels that such innovations in mobile technologies are independent and do not depend on the network provider or the mobile manufacturer. Smartphones and tablet PCs continuously need such inventions in order to continuously give a different and exciting experience to their users.

With the help of this new multimedia service OpenEPC can link the whole range of IP platforms effortlessly according to the latest standards from IPTV and cloud platforms over IP multimedia sub system (IMS) based service platforms to proprietary company platforms. For instance if a service is developed to watch live sports on smartphones the OpenEPC will link the IP-based streaming platform of a broadcasting company to various mobile networks. FUSECO Playground will test different platforms and will give the best suited one.
A lot of emphasis is given to the user’s IP in this service and network providers would be able to categorize their customers IP for either telephone services or premium internet access. But there might be users who make heavy use of both the services from their phones how will their IP be categorized is not clear.
Such innovations by companies like Fraunhofer FOKUS can take mobile phones to an all new level. This will help network providers in classifying their customers better on the basis of their usage of certain services or call usage.

Universal broadband need of the hour
According to a report by CMA, its high time government spent time and energy and applied determined efforts to make sure that the entire country has access to high speed internet broadband services, that too by the year 2017, if it wants the country’s economy to make significant progress in the coming years. For the country to be properly out of recession, it is very important that the online economy gets the required boost and becomes highly progressive. CMA is an important part of BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT in Britain.
CMA implores upon the political parties and the government to take concrete steps towards the development of broadband infrastructure in the country. Only talks and plans wont do. It is high time they got into action doing something about it. It also appealed to the local and regional firms to increase investment as well as stakes in online business, e-commerce services and other web services so as to increase the return on investment that would go into setting up of required network infrastructure and allied assets.
Currently, Britain lags behind many of its competitors such as Japan, Korea, Sweden etc in terms of broadband services in the country and just made it to the list of top 30 in terms of Broadband quality Score. In fact the IT community in the country is losing out against its counterparts in other nations because of the poor broadband coverage as well as connectivity issues in certain regions.

Tough competition lies ahead for the broadband companies
A major price war is ready to be sparked off in UK in the realm of broadband packages and services. In fact, this is going to be more of a monopolistic competition war where one major industry player will dictate the prices to the other , not necessary marginal, players. Well let me be explicit.
The initial package prices British Telecom, BT has set for its high speed optic fibre broadband services, Infinity, are very very low. For a monthly charge of only 25 pounds a month, one gets free connection for BT infinity which gives the consumers a broadband speed up to 40 MBPS alongwith a download speed of 10mbps, unlimited Wi Fi access, a digital storage of 5GB and advanced security features. The duration of the package is 18 months and seriously, the consumers couldn’t have asked for more. It is as economical and as blissful it could get.
For other broadband service providers in the country, this could mean that they have to find innovative technology solutions in order to provider the consumers the prices as competitive as that of BT’s Infinity otherwise they will have a tough time selling their products and services in the market.
Many analysts and industry experts are surprised as to why BT has kept the prices so low when the trend is that at the launch of an innovative technology solution, the prices are kept on the higher side so as to get maximum revenue in the early days, before the rivals get the necessary technology to provide the same services.
