 I'm here at ITU Telecom World 2012 in Dubai and I'm very pleased to be joined by Gabiel Gautay who is Executive Vice President of a Global Government and Public Affairs for Alcatel Lucent. Gabriel, thank you very much for being with us today. Thank you for having me. Debates at ITU Telecom World 2012 have been focusing very much on the current radical transformation of the ICT sector and its implications for the industry and the world in which we live. What for you is the principal opportunity arising from this transformation? I really think that the biggest change in the last two or three years in our world is the rapid uptake of mobile broadband and its huge transformational power. Mobility is now everywhere, being developed to developing countries. Six billion human beings have a mobile phone but out of the six billion 1.2 is a mobile broadband connection and in five years time probably five billion human beings will have in their pocket and in their hand a higher processing power than the computers of the 1980s. Now this has huge implications both for the development of this world. We know that 10% of the broadband penetration triggers GDP growth up to 1.2% in developed economies and even more in developing economies, 3% and create jobs. We all know that so the small and medium companies who have embraced broadband internet and mobile broadband create twice as many jobs as the others. So I think really this is the biggest change and it's not an evolution, it's a revolution not only in the ICT sector but for the world. And what do you proceed to be the main challenges brought about by this transformation? The main challenge is to cope with it and to cope with this huge amount of data that is going to come from these mobile internet enabled mobile phones. We anticipate multiplication by a factor of 25 to 30 in the five coming years with this data explosion. How are we going to cope with it in times of disruption for the industry? We know that service providers who have been rather wealthy in the past years have more difficulties and that the value change in favour of the so-called over the top players. So we have to deal with scarcity of investment funds at a time where never in the last 15 years so much investment has been needed. Second is we have to deal with the scarcity and especially the scarcity of spectrum which is the second bottleneck. So how are we going to contain to cope? Three various answers. The first one, we need more spectrum. We need more harmonised spectrum in the world but we know it's not a totally expandable good. Second, we need more innovative technologies. LTE is more efficient, 4G is more efficient than 3G for instance. And third, we need new topographies, small sales but with small sales come the need for backhaul. So we also need new investment models. We can't go on in the world we have known in the last 10 years and invest as we have done. And last but not least innovation is not just technology. It's about new business models. It's about how do we make these new essential applications like mobile health, mobile education which have the biggest transformational power especially for developing countries and they know it. How do we make them happen? We make them happen through a collaboration of not only technology service providers, not only service, traditional service providers, apps providers but also governments, education, health. There is one doctor in Sudan per 100,000 people. There is a lack in the developing world of over 1.5 billion community health workers. Now these people know much better than the developed world that they will, that mobile broadband is the future, that they will not be able to do without it. How do we make all these people work together to make it happen? And I think this is perhaps one of the biggest challenges of this ITU. Well, we're very much here and we're here at ITU Telecom World 2012. I wanted to finally ask you, why is an event like this important? An event like this is important first of all because it's, of course, it's an assembly of policymakers, ministers, regulators who need to understand that the world is changing, that they have the role to play collaboratively with the private sector to make these business models, to enable these business models and probably through a change of the traditional regulation. And they have in their hands one of the scarcest and most valuable goods, which is Spectrum. And Spectrum allocation can be twofold. They must see that as an essential asset not to reap value out of the private sector, but to bring it to the population and to their countries to enable these invaluable new business models to happen, especially in the two domains, mobile health and mobile education. Gabrielle, thank you very much indeed for being there today. Thank you for having me.
