The impact of HTML5 on the Internet and communications will be significant due to its extensive features, cross-platform and browser compatibility, and because it is standards-based.

It will be instrumental in closing the web vs. native app debate as HTML5 provides a convenient bridge between the two worlds. Of course, legacy plugins, such as Flash, Silverlight et al won't disappear immediately and are likely to benefit from further enrichment.

However, HTML5 has already captured significant interest, deployment and widespread penetration. What's more, the independence from proprietary alternatives that it offers will render it increasingly attractive to many.

So what does this mean for operators and Service Providers? How will the emerging world of HTML5, impact business models and opportunities?

In our new report, "HTML5 and Real-time Communications" we provide a comprehensive and considered review. We highlight the likely impact of HTML5 and provide insight to help guide your thinking. Our strategic recommendations for Service Providers are based on our review of the implications of the migration of Internet applications to HTML5 and the opportunities they present.

The report is available directly from us and we can provide extensive briefings and consultation on the subject. If you would like to know more about the impact of HTML5, please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We would be happy to help!
