AT&T T-Mobile deal crash: Let 2012 be a year we think Different, not just Big

So this AT&T and T-Mobile thing is off. It is not surprising. Just like the futile efforts to re-boot SAAB in my native Sweden, the writing was on the wall. Somehow the people involved became prisoners in their own reality distortion field. Both these deal crashes are signs of old school thinking. Let’s hope we’ll [...]

Christmas tree made of mobile phones

A nice double message from a store in Vietnam – a christmas tree made of recycled phones. On that note: Happy Holidays! 2011 was a busy year for Mobiletribe and we have now set the table for a very exciting 2012. Part of the plan is to increase our visibility for the blog and the [...]

Hats off to a long-timer: Mobilestreams

I have been following Mobilestreams and Simon over the years. At one point I was even a supplier of a service to them. We  leave that behind since it was not the runaway success we had hoped for. But I give it to Simon since he has always been willing to push the envelope and [...]

Internetdagarna (Internet Days konference) 2010 in Stockholm

I just had to write a short blurb on my impressions from the morning sessions at Internetdagarna in Stockholm today. First our new Minster for IT Anna-Karin Hatt surprised everyone positively. She made a great first impression. Her speech (in Swedish) is available here. Then a virtual worlds fanatic from Stockholm School of Economics who [...]

Why Vegas should embrace mobile gambling

A quick follow-up on yesterday’s post: Landbased casions are one of the main reasons online gambling is not allowed in the uS: The lobbying power from the casions is thought to be massive. I think they make a major mistake in stopping online gambling. The reason is simply one of the foundations for any commercial [...]

Why mobile gambling is the next big thing

Most of us have seen all the reports and articles on 2010 being the year of the mobile internet. The quote below adds to that. “Regarding the pace of change, we believe more users will likely connect to the Internet via mobile devices than desktop PCs within five years.” –The Mobile Internet Report, Morgan Stanley, [...]
