An end-of-year review - from CNBC news - places 3GPP's mobile network evolution at number 3 in their 2016 'key themes that are likely to dominate the landscape', just behind flexible displays and advanced 'earbuds' for hands free and cable free audio.

Although CNBC sees the demand for LTE network equipment flattening in the New Year, they highlight the importance of 3GPP IoT work, in the face of competition from non standards based proprietary technologies, as an important space to watch.
