According to new research report from the analyst firm Berg Insight, the number of machines connected to mobile networks in Europe will grow by 34.2 percent in 2008 and reach 14.1 million at the year-end. Growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.9 percent, the number of connections is projected to reach 58.6 million by 2013. Much of the growth will come from motor vehicles whose share of the installed base is expected to double from about 30 percent in 2008 to 60 percent in 2013.

"The total number of mobile network connections used by machines now equal that of a medium-sized European country. While the market for personal communication has reached its saturation point, the machine communication market will continue to grow for many years to come. Berg Insight strongly advices mobile operators to become more actively involved in this market in order to position themselves for the future", commented Tobias Ryberg, Senior Analyst, Berg Insight.

The report identifies major differences in the types of machines that are being connected to mobile networks in different European countries. "Scandinavia has a very high proportion of smart energy meters, Germany and Italy mainly have motor vehicles and in Spain the market is dominated by security alarms and POS-terminals. Other countries such as the UK have a more diversified market landscape," said Ryberg. There are also significant variations in the share of machine-to-machine SIM-cards, compared to the total number of SIM-cards. Sweden and Finland were found to have the highest rates of 13.4 percent and 7.7 percent respectively, several times higher than the average 2.2 percent.

Children with vision problems are often misidentified as having learning disabilities, especially since the kids themselves may not be aware there's a problem with their sight. But parents should look for warning signs of vision trouble.
