FOREWORD

This year in BCC’s information technology research category, several reports were published covering topics ranging  from non-cellular waveforms in mobile phones to digital devices found in the living room.  As can be expected with many of the markets linked to electronics, BCC expects many of the markets  analyzed in its information technology research category to grow at high compound annual growth rates over the five-year forecast period; we forecast some segments are in excess of 20% and 30%.

The importance of the link between the Internet and this strong growth cannot be overstated.  As discussed in further detail, the marriage of the Internet and television,  as well as the increasing popularity of online gaming, are two prominent examples.
