A new report from Portio Research predicts a strong future for SMS, and that it will remain the most widely used messaging format for some years to come. SMS revenues are estimated at $50 billion by 2010 driven by almost 2.38 trillion messages. The report also highlights the slow but steady progress of other mobile messaging technologies, especially mobile e-mail and instant messaging. Since its launch in 2002, MMS has failed to assume the SMS mantle, hampered by interoperability issues and low handset penetration, says Portio. MMS can however be considered a commercial success with similar revenue predictions as SMS by 2010 from considerably less traffic. The report suggests that: "the industry must concentrate on increasing the use of Premium MMS as a marketing tool and a distribution channel while promoting growth of cheap peer-to-peer picture messaging. When MMS becomes cheap, simple and compelling, traffic will grow and revenue will follow".
Organizations that were experimenting with Applied-AI in isolated pilot programs just two years ago are now embedding it into core workflows, customer-facing products, and business-critical infrastructure. But as technology matures, a troubling pattern is emerging: speed of deployment is consistently outpacing the security discipline required to protect it. A new Gartner market study exposes the risk that many technology leaders have instinctively sensed but struggled to quantify. GenAI Security Market Development By 2028, 25 percent of all enterprise generative AI (GenAI) applications will experience at least five minor security incidents per year, that's up from just 9 percent in 2025. That represents nearly a threefold increase in less than three years, and the trend does not stop there. Gartner further projects that by 2029, 15 percent of all enterprise GenAI apps will experience at least one major security incident per year, compared to only 3 percent in 2025. Meanwhile, the d...
