Patent battles remain a source of antagonism in the technology sector, as an ever more interrelated web of lawsuits threatens to derail — as much as protect — innovation in the converging worlds of internet and mobile.

Welcome to the fourth edition of Inside Telecommunications, our review of the most significant developments in the telecom sector each quarter. The final three months of 2011 saw plenty of innovations from around the world by operators of fixed and mobile services, while regulatory issues continue to evolve across a number of domains.

In this issue, we explore a variety of important themes, from the latest operator developments in mobile health to new technology advances in fixed broadband.

Find out more about:

• Regulatory trends and their potential impacts
• A global roundup of mergers and acquisitions activity
