We are getting some fascinating results through so a big thank-you to all participants. The survey forms part of a wider analysis of operator strategies regarding &#39;smart pipes&#39; - what the term means, what value (if any) can be derived from being smart and what the key challenges are to becoming so. We are examining operator activities in Europe, North America and Asia and are evaluating specific operator actions.The final report, published in September, will be made available to all participants.]]></description><link>http://www.convergenceconversation.com/posts/simon.torrance/only-48-hours-left-to-complete-smart-pipes-survey</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.convergenceconversation.com/posts/simon.torrance/only-48-hours-left-to-complete-smart-pipes-survey</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Aug 2011 11:34:31 +0100</pubDate></item>

It&rsquo;s been quite a while since the last time I did that and found many interesting facts.Here&rsquo;s something nice: the top 10 articles in Broadband Prime, ordered by popularity.

		<item><title>Web Accessibility - addressing digital inclusion with standards</title><description><![CDATA[It&rsquo;s been estimated that 11m people in Britain are disabled, with around 7m of those being of working age. What&rsquo;s more, there&rsquo;s a significant (and rising) number of older people who may not think of themselves as disabled but who might have difficulty with their sight or hearing. So, at a time when an increasing number of contact points are being moved online, it&rsquo;s clear that unless accessibility is embedded into communication strategies, organisations may&nbsp;be unwittingly&nbsp;creating a digital divide.]]></description><link>http://www.convergenceconversation.com/posts/david.fatscher/web-accessibility---addressing-digital-inclusion-with-standards</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.convergenceconversation.com/posts/david.fatscher/web-accessibility---addressing-digital-inclusion-with-standards</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 May 2011 10:52:17 +0100</pubDate></item>

However, the current spending on digital media -- including internet and mobile -- has not yet risen significantly, according to the latest assessment by eMarketer.Among the major media of television, internet, radio, mobile, newspapers and magazines, U.S. adults still spend the most time each day with TV. eMarketer estimates adults watched television for 42.9 percent of the time they spent each day with those media in 2010, and ad dollars align closely, at 42.7 percent.The internet, by contrast, took up 25.2 percent of U.S.]]></description><link>http://www.convergenceconversation.com/posts/david.deans/newspaper-advertising-losses-could-be-much-worse</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.convergenceconversation.com/posts/david.deans/newspaper-advertising-losses-could-be-much-worse</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Apr 2011 00:59:00 +0100</pubDate></item>
