wifi monetization methods

As the mass adoption of Wi-Fi-enabled mobile devices converges with the acceptance of Wi-Fi as a global wireless standard, the business model is shifting—from a means to offload congestion and reduce churn to a tool for service differentiation. With more than half of Internet traffic estimated to come from Wi-Fi by 2016 (Cisco VNI) and the “land grab” for Wi-Fi hotspots already well underway, service providers are quickly moving from the question of whether to develop Wi-Fi monetization strategies to when and how to gain market advantage.
Today, consumer use of Wi-Fi is being driven by the demand for mobile Internet access and the desire for lower roaming costs. In Europe and the U.S., the percentage of smartphone data carried over Wi-Fi is already over 50% (Analysys Mason). Most service providers view the business model for Wi-Fi to be revenue-neutral—a way to manage delivery costs by taking advantage of the unlicensed spectrum, reduce traffic on congested 3G and 4G networks, and provide a good user experience for customer satisfaction and retention. To go beyond basic Wi-Fi and the expectation of “free” access, service providers will have to define a new class of Wi-Fi services that provide a seamless user experience, carrier-grade reliability, security and Quality of Service (QoS).
Building the infrastructure for Wi-Fi monetization will require service providers to address evolving standards for network discovery and selection, enable transparent authorization and authentication, and support seamless interworking between Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
In the move towards advanced monetization models, Wi-Fi has the potential to become a platform for service differentiation, customer acquisition and value-added partnerships with venue owners, enterprises, advertisers, over-the-top (OTT) content providers and other emerging players.

The Unity rocket, developed by his company Virgin Galactic, has successfully returned to Earth after completing its one - and - a - half hour space journey. Branson has returned to a height where the view of the earth is obscured, the sky is darkened, the force of gravity is greatly reduced and it floats automatically. From New Mexico ... Branson said he wanted to enjoy the trip before it could lead to those who want to pay and fly next year. The flight departed from New Mexico, USA at 3.30 pm British time.

Childhood poverty linked to brain changes related to depression

Childhood poverty linked to brain changes related to depression Children from poorer families are more likely to experience changes in brain connectivity that put them at higher risk of depression, compared with children from more affluent families.  First study author Deanna M. Barch, PhD, chair of the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences in Arts & Sciences, and colleagues publish their findings in  The American Journal of Psychiatry . The study builds on previous research from the team published last year, which found that children raised in poverty have  reduced gray and white matter volumes in the brain , compared with those raised in richer families. Additionally, they found that such brain changes were linked to poorer academic achievement. For this latest study, the team set out to investigate whether childhood poverty may also lead to brain changes that influence mood and risk of  depression , given that children raised in poorer families tend to b
