But there are tectonic shifts taking place in the ecosystem this year, and

      Mobile advertising is for real, money will be made and winners will emerge. That’s a reliable prediction. And mobile advertising will find itself increasingly relevant as it works its way into many different types of content, from banners, text trailers, mobile video, LBS, and even worked its way into voice recently.

      With the downgrading of banners, the future advertising successes will increasingly depend on context, and a mobile phone is a great device for surmising the “presence” state of

      Mobile telecom networks have been built with the same basic topology since their emergence in the late 80s, with towers erected at the center of (hopefully) overlapping cells. Through the 90s networks were expanded for better coverage, and afterwards expanded for better capacity, but after almost 20 years, the same basic architecture still rules. But it’s different in the advanced markets of Korea and Japan, where repeaters and picocells rule the day, and signals reach even into subway tunnels.

Real products launched into the market don’t just blur the lines between TV and PC, but in fact make it increasingly clear that any screen is fair game for any content, and the service will come from both broadcast, unicast, and from within the home.

      The economic stimulus program is currently underway and rather underwhelming as it would apply to telecom companies. However, we see a real focus on “innovation at the edge.” Our speaker, Mr. William B.
