Mobile money will make the world go round

The world has gone m-tastic… m-commerce, m-banking, m-coupons, m-tickets, m-wallets, m-travel, m-retail and many other things pre-fixed with an “m-” (for mobile). All those that are money-related – or should we say m-money – fall into two categories: using a mobile device to a) do banking-type things with cash (deposit, transfer funds, withdraw, get paid, pay bills) and b) purchase things (physical and digital goods, travel and entertainment either on the mobile Web or at the store/venue/station...

Mobile Ads Go Mainstream: starring the FTC, Google, Apple’s $1m iAds and a soap-opera story-line that’s has the media hooked

Why Japan is the king of mobile: the stats and facts

Japan has much higher mobile Internet penetration than the US or Europe. This high usage of the mobile Internet (and mobile data generally) means mobile advertising/marketing is considerably more advanced than elsewhere. • There are good reasons why Japan is king of mobile – and it's not just a cultural thing – and the mobile ecosystem in other countries would benefit greatly if these were emulated. • The Japanese operators take much of the credit for fostering this environment (operators elsewhere, please check you are following their lead)...
