Mobile will rule:

Among the future issue that will impinge on this business model, said Kasanen, is the eternal question of interoperability among devices. Customers who acquire content on a mobile device will expect—perhaps more than ever before—to move that content to other devices, and to other people's devices. This expectation poses technical, proprietary and copyright issues that the industries represented at the Mobile World Congress are still struggling to resolve.
Another dilemma is the issue of battery life. The more Internet content moves to mobile devices, the greater the pressure on each device's battery life. "This is a problem that's practically impossible to solve without the operators' help," said Kasanen.
In the final analysis, Kasanen reiterated, the pace of the shift of media services from fixed to mobile devices, although inevitable, will depend on "stronger customer relations and more profitable customer relationships."

Interoperability will be taken care of, no problem. The mobile financial model will also take care of itself. Battery life, now that's another question. With all the crap these new handsets will be doing the demands could be enormous. MirrorBit Dram could help, but who knows what's going on with that. I'm sure there are reasons for the sonorous way SPSN releases information, but it's not easy on their investors. |
