内容提要：

Communications media and devices are proliferating at an accelerating rate. Globalisation means that innovations spread within months, and markets appear in a few years that previously took decades to emerge. Much large scale manufacturing has moved from Europe and the US to Asia, attracted by lower costs and economies of scale. Will other activities follow suit? Where should we look for innovation in communications? What is the future for communications manufacturers, operators and consumers?

This talk will examine trends in technology and markets, and set out some suggestions for what policies researchers, businesses and government should pursue.
