Mobile Internet World Europe Summit, Munich

How to Profit from the Next Generation of the Internet

Today I run into the Mobile Internet World Europe Summit in Munich. I wasn’t sure if the topics would be interesting for me, but already the start was juicy; Declan Lonergan from Yankee Group showing the top 10 of the most used mobile sites on the Vodafone UK network: 1. facebook, 2. Google, 3. BBC, 4. MSN, 5. Bebo, 6. Sony Ericsson, 7. Yahoo, 8. myspace, 9. Hotmail and 10. Youtube. And in some other forecasts and figures I found confirmation for my own thoughts on changes in the mobile ecosystem. But also Sven Bolthausen, Head of Multimedia Germany, Ericsson, attested to some trends in his lecture ‚Driving Mobile Internet Adoption‘ on do’s and don’ts in the mobile eco system.

The mobile internet summit, playboy presentation and panel discussion.

Beside meeting some business contacts like Petra Maertens (jamba.com), Wandrille Pruvot (Buzzcity) and Christian Georg (Ericsson), I today also found out, that I am an Upwardly Mobile; They are familiar and comfortable with Web 2.0 tools like wikis and blogs as well – Yankee Test told me 🙂
