The Numbers
• iTunes– 10 billion songs sold– 15 billion apps downloaded
![Page 3: Mobile Computing at USSOCOM](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56812cdb550346895d919ea7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Numbers
• 8 trillion text messages will be sent in 2011• 300,000 mobile apps have been developed in three
years• 1 in 4 mobile apps once downloaded are never used
again.

The Numbers
• There are 5.3 billion mobile subscribers (that's 77 percent of the world population).
• Half a billion people accessed mobile Internet worldwide in 2009. Usage is expected to double within five years as mobile overtakes the PC.
• Many mobile Web users are mobile-only, i.e. they very rarely use a desktop to access the Web. US 25% users are mobile-only.
• High-speed mobile networks - almost one in five subscribers have access to fast mobile (3G or better).

The Numbers
• 101 million smartphones were sold in 2010-Q4, versus 92 million PCs.
• Smartphone shipments, grew 87% year over year, while PCs only grew 3%.
• One in two Americans will have a smartphone by Christmas of 2011, compared to just one in 10 in the summer of 2008.

Social Media• Helicopter hovering above
Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event).
• A huge window shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty :-S
• Go away helicopter - before I take out my giant swatter :-/
• seems like my giant swatter worked !
• Since taliban (probably) don't have helicpoters, and since they're saying it was not "ours", so must be a complicated situation
• The abbottabad helicopter/UFO was shot down near the Bilal Town area, and there's report of a flash. People saying it could be a drone.
• people are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful.
• Two helicpoters, one down, could actually be the training accident scenario they're saying it was >>

Roadmap
• Environment I – Unclassified data over commercial Network
• Environment II – Secret and below over Commercial Network
• Environment III – Secret and below over SOF Network

Challenges
• Bandwidth– DC is OK, but Africa, South Asia….
• Acquisition model– Production– 2 yr lifecycle – Hopefully!
• IA, IA , IA (Devices, Apps, Network)• Configuration Management• It is all about the Data!

Information Assurance
• Hardened OS?• Hardened Devices? • Or COTS?

Takeaways
• Fast moving – less than 2 year lifecycle– “Only constant is change”
• Not your Grandfathers desktop– Production model = change
• Configuration Management nightmare
