Singapore, February 6, 2014 – Social media, big data analytics, OTT, multi-platform screening and CYOD (Choose Your Own Device) have been cited in various industry reports as some of the key trends to watch in 2014. These trends are fuelled by a steep increase in consumption of data and entertainment on mobile devices, with mobile data traffic in Asia Pacific expected to exceed the rest of the world by 2017.

London, UK, January 6, 2014--In my previous column  I previewed GVF High Throughput Satellites 2013: Game-Changer in Action - The London Roundtable. I am very pleased to report that several participants in this latest program in the GVF-EMP Conference Partnership portfolio described the event as “A very successful conference, by any standard.” Here, in this contribution to the final edition of 2013, I wish to provide you, the reader, with the means to access at least some of the flavor of the series of great dialogs which took place in London on 5^th and 6^th December 2013. Then, as follow-on, I intend to provide you with some advance notice of upcoming events in the GVF calendar for the first quarter of 2014.

London, UK, December 2, 2013--The subjects of the oil & gas vertical market and that of High Throughput Satellites are rarely outside the scope of anyone connected with the development and delivery of satellite-based communications solutions these days. Indeed, as you read this column – during, I believe, the first week of December – one of the latest of the GVF-EMP Conference Partnership events covering the first of these subjects has already been successfully concluded, and another, covering the later subject, will be very nearly, or even actually, underway.

London, UK, November 15, 2013 – The GVF-EMP Conference Partnership has announced additional details of the High Throughput Satellites 2013: The Game-Changer in Action – London Roundtable, which will take place at the Strand Palace Hotel on 5th & 6th December 2013. This event will deliver the third programme in the GVF-EMP Roundtable Series, offering a further timely and topical platform for industry and end-user dialogue just as the satellite operator community continues to bring more HTS capability to orbit and to the satellite broadband solutions market.
