Mobile Internet Strategy Series 2010 May 27, 2010

Growth in Mobile Internet has dramatically accelerated in the last 12 months. Apple, Google, Microsoft and a number of emerging players are pushing for a leadership position in this highly competitive market. New mobile devices not only include high-end smartphones, but also new device categories like media phones, tablets and smartbooks and e-readers. Major hardware and software players are continuing to build their ecosystems of applications, services and content around their product offerings. Monetization is gaining traction with the launch of app stores and a number of acquisitions in mobile advertising.

Our panel will discuss where the mass-adopted mobile internet and emerging device categories will head in the coming years. Key questions include:
How will the mobile ecosystems evolve in the coming years?
Which new device categories will emerge, which will most likely not survive?
Which platform and services strategies will drive adoption of services?
How will the market for consumer and business applications develop?
How will the battle between carriers and service players evolve?

A panel of experts with backgrounds in the mobile, internet, software, and hardware industries will discuss the future of mobile internet and its impact on our daily lives.
