The Impact of Mobile Web 2.0 on the Telecoms Industry
With the launch of the iPhone, the Telecoms industry enters a new and a disruptive phase - the drivers of which are no longer the traditional players in the industry.
This session explores the synergies between the web and the Telecoms industry.
It outlines the opportunities and the disruptive influences of the Web on the Telecoms industry.
Traditionally the Web and the ethos of the web (open standards, interoperability, etc.) are viewed with suspicion by the telecoms industry. The Telecoms industry in general, does not trust the Web. It is almost as if it chooses to ignore the 'Web' in 'Mobile Web 2.0'.
But the Web forms the bedrock of Tim O'Reilly’s seven principles defining Web 2.0 and it is not possible to ignore the Web any more - especially considering the rapid growth of User generated content.
Unless it adapts to the web, the industry risks missing out on the huge opportunities that can be leveraged through the power of Mobile Web 2.0.
This session talks about the Good, the bad and the ugly - in the interplay between the web and Telecoms.

The speaker was very hard to understand. I cannot fault his unusual accent, however, I found his presentation style to be to rushed and often disjointed. The slides were badly organised and did not summarise his keypoints. Only takeaway: telecoms are screwed. Well, I knew that before I went through this one hour of rambling. I expected much more in-depth analysis from this session. Speakers from actual telecoms would have made this a much more balanced presentation.
