ISBN 92-61-10741-9 FOREWORD “The Portable Internet” is the sixth in the series of “ITU Internet Reports”, originally launched in 1997. It has been prepared to coincide with ITU TELECOM Asia 2004, Exhibition and Forum, to be held in Busan (Republic of Korea) from 7 to 11 September 2004. This new report examines the emergence of high-speed wireless Internet access together with the proliferation of portable devices. In so doing, it explores the market potential and future impact of the new set of technologies underlying the “portable Internet”. Chapter one, the Introduction, defines the portable Internet for the purposes of the report, focusing in particular on its disruptive nature relative to existing business models, and examines the stakes for the industry. Chapter two, Technologies for the portable Internet, provides a technical overview of high-speed cellular mobile and other wireless networks underlying the portable Internet. Chapter three, Market trends, looks at growth patterns, market opportunities, pricing strategies and corporate strategies. Chapter four, Policy and regulatory aspects, discusses the challenges faced by regulators and policy-makers in an increasingly mobile environment. Chapter five, The portable Internet as a tool for bridging the digital divide, considers the impact of the portable Internet in underserved areas and looks at the role played by national policy, community initiatives, education and affordability in extending its reach. Chapter six, The future of portable Internet technologies, explores cutting-edge developments and future market applications. Chapter seven, The information society and the human factor, looks at the impact of portable Internet technologies on society and socialization. ITU, the United Nations specialized agency for telecommunications, is committed to playing a positive role in the development of the information society and to extending the benefits of advances in new information and communication technologies (ICT), such as the portable Internet, to all the world’s inhabitants. This is in line with the Decision of the highest policy-making body of ITU (Resolution 101 of the Plenipotentiary Conference (Minneapolis, 1998, updated Marrakesh 2002)), which calls upon ITU to “fully embrace the opportunities for telecommunication development that arise from the growth of IP-based services”, and subsequent ongoing calls from ITU Member States to continue to actively pursue this objective. The ITU Internet Reports hopefully make a significant contribution to that commitment. FOREWORD I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The text of this report was prepared by a team from ITU’s Strategy and Policy Unit (SPU) led by Lara Srivastava, comprising Avita Dodoo, Joanna Goodrick, Tim Kelly, Eric Lie and Taylor Reynolds together with Maria Cristina Bueti, Nicolas Derobert, Ayanna Samuels and Christine Sund. The statistical tables were drawn from the ITU World Telecommunication Indicators Database and compiled by Taylor Reynolds and Maria Cristina Bueti. The report was edited by Lara Srivastava. Special thanks go to Jean Jacques Mendez for the cover design, Simon de Nicola and Maynard Adea for assistance with the overall formatting. Some of the research for this report was carried out under the “New Initiatives Programme”, launched in 1999 (http://www.itu.int/ni). Under this programme, relevant workshops have been held on “Radio Spectrum Management for a Converging World” from 16-18 February 2004 in Geneva (http://www.itu.int/spectrum), and on “Shaping the Future Mobile Information Society” on 4-5 March 2004 in Seoul, Republic of Korea (http://www.itu.int/futuremobile). The report has benefited from the input and comments of many people to whom we owe our thanks. Among others, we would like to thank ITU’s Robert Shaw, Tatiana Kurakova, as well as Robert Burke of MIT Media Lab Europe. Thanks also go to all those who gave their generous permission to use material reproduced in the report. We would like to thank the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications (MPHPT), Japan, and the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) of the Republic of Korea, whose generous support has allowed us to expand our case study and research programme. We would also like to express our gratitude to respondents from public telecommunication operators, Internet service providers, regulatory bodies and national administrations who helped by providing specific information and data related to the development of portable Internet technologies in their regions. Much of the data contained in this report is taken from the ITU World Telecommunication Indicators Database, managed by the Market, Economics and Finance Unit (formerly the Telecommunication Data and Statistics Unit) of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT). The Database is available on CD-ROM, or via the Internet as a subscription service.

I don’t mean looking forward for a few weeks or a few months. I’m talking about years. For me those sorts of experiences almost always end in disappointment. They can never live up to what I’ve built them up to be in my imagi- nation. The New York City Mara- thon shattered that pattern, far exceeding my expectations. Why New York? I was a dedicated half-marathoner until I learned about the route of the NYC Marathon. Having been to the city only once before on a quick weekend trip, I knew little about it, but I was fascinated by the chance to tour all five bor- oughs on foot. What better way to see it! I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to meet New York and New Yorkers at ground lev- el. That’s what hooked me and kept me applying year after year. My mantra of “The half, always the half” changed to “Only New York and only once.” NYC <continued on Page 2> Heading up the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge at the start of the NYC Marathon.

  • A Farewell to Guy Morse the Man Who Played a Huge Role in Saving the Boston Marathon Moves On
    A Farewell to Guy Morse The man who played a huge role in saving the Boston Marathon moves on. uy Morse spent 28 years—beginning in December 1984—with the B.A.A. and left the organization at the end of 2012, leaving it much better off than Gwhen he started. His accomplishments are many and have been documented such that a generation from now the organization and the city of Boston will look upon the growth under his tenure and will be able to put the era in perspective. Though the B.A.A. marked its 125th anniversary in 2012, Morse started as its first employee when the club recognized the need to move the marathon to a professionally run organization. The marathon was growing and change was im- minent; otherwise the event would be left behind, surpassed by progressive and more appealing approaches. Morse knew the B.A.A.’s main event would require the assistance of many. Though the terms may be more prevalent today than in the 1980s, he effectively sought to rebrand and relaunch the Boston Marathon, though he did not have the luxury of employing the strategy in a vacuum. There would not be an ability to pause, skip a year, and come out with his guns blazing on an 18- or 24-month horizon. No, this challenge would have to be met within the many constraints and limitations that are inherent in an event with many distinctions and traditions. In fact, while they were assets, those same qualities were holding back the race from being able to be agile and adaptive.

  • Marathoners Warned About Too Much Water
    Marathoners Warned About Too Much Water By GINA KOLATA Copyright 2005 New York Times Dr. Lewis G. Maharam, the medical director for the New York City Marathon and marathons in San Diego, Phoenix, Nashville and Virginia Beach, said he was taking every opportunity this year to educate runners about the biggest threat to their lives on race day - drinking too much water. He knows the danger: in their zeal to avoid becoming dehydrated, runners may end up drinking so much that they dilute their blood. Water rushes into cells, including cells of the brain. The swollen brain cells press against the skull, and the result can be fatal. The resulting condition is known as hyponatremia - too much water. “There are no reported cases of dehydration causing death in the history of world running,” Maharam said. “But there are plenty of cases of people dying of hyponatremia.” No one knows how many have died, said Dr. Arthur Siegel, the chief of internal medicine at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass., and the designated hyponatremia team leader for recent Boston Marathons. But he said that perhaps a dozen hyponatremia deaths had been recognized, according to informal communications among doctors at recent marathons. So this year, for the first time, the participant handbook for runners in the Nov. 6 New York City Marathon tells them how much to drink - no more than eight ounces of water every 20 minutes. Maharam also makes sure the message is delivered via television shows that feature news about the marathon. He makes an announcement at the start of the marathon about how much to drink.

Methods: We analysed the results of six European (Paris, London, Berlin) and American (Boston, Chicago, New York) marathon races from 2001 to 2010 through 1,791,972 participants’ performances (all finishers per year and race). Four environmental factors were gathered for each of the 60 races: temperature (uC), humidity (%), dew point (uC), and the atmospheric pressure at sea level (hPA); as well as the concentrations of four atmospheric pollutants: NO2 –SO2 –O3 and 23 PM10 (mg.m ). Results: All performances per year and race are normally distributed with distribution parameters (mean and standard deviation) that differ according to environmental factors. Air temperature and performance are significantly correlated through a quadratic model. The optimal temperatures for maximal mean speed of all runners vary depending on the performance level. When temperature increases above these optima, running speed decreases and withdrawal rates increase.
