Me and my mobile are inseparable!
In a recent study by the UK Post Office states that people have a very strong connection to their mobile phone. Only 3% of the women and 6% of the men among the 2000 surveyed would ive up their phone to save money. Rather people are moving to Pay as you go (prepaid) plans to [...]
Vodafone opening the holy grail?
In yesterday’s announcement from Vodafone we can get a hint of the future. Operator opening up access to their unique assets for content and service providers to create and deploy their services to the masses in a more efficient way than before. It is not an app store. Remember Vodafone gives access to bill their customers worldwide. [...]
Mobile has to show its green side!
I continue my short series of telecom and wireless in a larger perspective than just mobile entertainment and apps. It must be the effect of watching our garden explode with new life again that triggers this. In the environmetal debate the mobile industry is not very present. Despite the graduation from only offering token “green [...]
Power to the people. How mobile has turned the surveillance society upside down
You probably saw it yourself the other week when the policemen beating up people at the G20 in London where exposed in a mobile film clip. Read more about it here. Maybe you thought it as well as I did when the story broke; “Yet, another example of how an individual with his own phone [...]
More on App Stores
A follow-on to my last post. Just read the extract for a new study from Strand Consult, the wireless industry consultants. Their study is funnily enough called App Stores, do they have a future?. They have a somewhat blunt but still useful analogy. If the mobile VAS/content market was the bookmarket, the problem is not [...]
Got AppStore strategy? Do you feel lucky punk?
It’s been a while due to lack of time. The main focus for the last weeks has been the launch of a new company and product – Souldate, mobile dating with positioning. Dating is well suited for mobile. With positioning it takes it to the next level. Anyway, now you know why I have been [...]
Cold feet or getting real?
Now the optimistic hyperbolic analysts are getting cold feet. In a recent study by Juniper as reported about here, it is now expected that the effect of the recession will eat into the growth of mobile entertainment revenues. In Juniper’s case they say the growth will be half of what they previously said. Well in [...]
Why Entrepreneurs Rule the World
If you look for a short but good read over the weekend here is my tip: Why Entrepreneurs Rule the World – Professional development – Biznik. I can only speak from my own experience, but in the current crisis I feel I have a much better income security than people in big corporations. As my [...]
CTIA roundup
So finally, after my first stab at video from yesterday, here comes the written version with links and all. (Re Video: yes, I will use a tripod in the future. The Flip is so small that it is difficult to film with on free hand). There were a few thems the I picked up. Mind [...]
Connect to mobile consumers in a meaningful way
For a while now I have been a fan of the work done by Graham and Josh at mobileYouth. I recommend their slideshows on their site. Should be required reading for many in the industry. As a content provider we are so often more worried about the physical connectivity to wap gateways and billing systems etc, [...]
