Factors influencing Mega Trends

The world is changing in three important ways creating major

future upside – a Smarter Planet

The world is becoming more Instrumented

By 2010, there will be some 30 billion RFID tags in use – up from 5

billion some 5 years ago

The world is becoming more Interconnected

With a trillion networked things—cars, roadways, pipelines,

appliances, pharmaceuticals and even livestock - the amount of

information created by those interactions grows exponentially

All things are becoming more Intelligent

Powerful systems and analytics can turn those mountains of data

into smarter decisions and actions

Is there a Silver Lining in every Cloud?

1. Where are the Servers

located?

2. Where is your Data?

3. Which laws and

jurisdiction apply?

4. Which country is data

coming from?

Protection of Privacy = Regulation

of Conflicting Interests

• It is a balance of:– the individual's right to free speech and its converse, the right to personal privacy;

– the state's and regulator’s rights to information to combat crime;

– society's need for secure communications networks and secure infobase and its converse, access to freely available information;

– government, business and the media to obtain, use and publish information; and

– restricted access to commercial trade and government secrets



Australian Context

• National Broadband Network (NBN)

• eHealth

• Human Capital



National Broadband Network

• Ubiquitous high speed

• Going to accelerate the 3 Mega Trends

– Instrumented

– Interconnected

– Intelligent

• It is the products and

services over the NBN

that will make the difference



eHealth

• Significant Government priority on eHealth

records

• Who owns the Data?

– Data transferred across multiple providers

– Stored in the cloud

• Hosted offshore?

• What if the provider goes bankrupt?

• NEHTA is working hard on these issues



Human Capital



Conclusion

Ability to collect, understand and use data

Manipulation of data (both public and private

Data) is crucial for business

Cloud computing is changing traditional software and

content licensing and pricing models

Security, Cyber Identity and Privacy will continue to pose

even greater challenges
