Background

Open Mobile Timeline:

  • Sept - Nokia announces OVI - move into Internet services
  • Oct - Apple announces it will open iPhone to 3rd party developers

2008

To be continued...

The multi-million dollar wireless communications industry is undergoing a radical transformation as open models threaten to disrupt the existing wireless value chain.

From open sourcing the OS, through to open platforms, open devices and open networks - all of these initiatives are designed to enable innovation, and unleash the power of the Internet on wireless networks.

And whilst 'open' means different things to different people, the overall effect is towards opening the tightly controlled wireless industry value chain to enable an Internet-style ecosystem in its place. That's a fundamental change to the fabric of the wireless industry - bringing new business models, new partnership structures, new routes to market for services, and new entrants.

The Open Mobile Summit provides a critical forum for all of the major players across the full spectrum to understand the impact of this change, and develop business models and partnerships to survive and thrive in the new world order.

Meet with industry le aders from across the colliding mobile and internet industries, and get a fresh perspective at the Open Mobile Summit!
