Mobile is the largest technology platform in history

1 ~7.5B connections (~3.7B subs) GSMA Intelligence, May 15.

~7.5 billion connections,

almost as many as

people on earth1

More prevalent than

electricity or running

water in some regions

Evolving into Internet of

Everything: cars, meters,

sensors, health devices, etc.

At the center of

breakthrough experiences

like 4K UHD video

Mobile has made a leap every ~10 years
