IDC MWC Mobile Industry Dynamics, 2012: Multiple Perspectives on a Shifting Industry Landscape

This insight demonstrates the increasing need for all components to be much more aware of the other components and for the mobile industry to be much more aware of adjacent sectors and industries that it can help rather than just the mobile sector evolution itself.
