Cost:
Free, as always.

The current rollout of HSPA is creating new business opportunities that exploit mobile broadband. The huge sales of USB modems reveal an emerging market that is different from pocket broadband on handsets. Mobile broadband is competing with WiFi due to always-connected mobility, ease of access and flat rate data plans. Carriers are developing HSPA and WiMax capabilities, deploying femtocells and partnering to provide xDSL connection to their core networks.

In Europe, the market has already transitioned from one dominated by visionary mobile broadband customers, to a mainstream market dominated by pragmatic customers. In the US, more people are using Web-friendly handsets and consuming more Web content overall, particularly content that lies outside carriers’ portals.

Meanwhile industry bodies – in conjunction with a raft of PC OEMs – are creating a new Mobile Broadband logo and branding campaign for wireless broadband in laptops, aiming to educate the public about ‘broadband inside’.

MoMo New York presents a discussion on the impacts of mobile broadband on carriers, content providers, laptop manufacturers and infrastructure vendors. We are happy to announce the following distinguished speakers:

Moderator:

  • Lubna Dajani, Stratemerge

Panelists:

  • Carl Taylor, Director of Applications & Services, Hutchison Whampoa Europe
  • Ari Zoldan, CEO, Quantum Networks, LLC
  • Robert Samuels, Director, Mobile Products, The New York Times
  • other panelists to be announced.

Dear NY MoMo-ers and friends….

MobileMonday New York invites you to join us on Monday, July 28th at 6:45PM at the Samsung Experience Center for an expert-panel discussion around the initial findings of Stratemerge’s study on social networks and debate the findings’ potential market implications.

Following the event Nokia is sponsoring  a wine reception to follow at the Landmarc  which is also located on the third floor of  10 Columbus Circle.

Moderator

  • Lubna Dajani, Founder & CEO, Stratemerge

  • Ben Boissevain, Managing Partner, Agile Equity
  • Jennifer Byrne, Director, Digital Media Verizon
  • Daniel Cohen, Vice President, Business Development, Dada

About the study:
Stratemerge is currently conducting a study to assess the viability and monetization potential of social networks focusing on the mainstream segment of consumers that represents 50% of US and EU markets. This segment is categorized by consumer behavior rather than age or gender.  These are consumers who have been found to be emotionally and financially compelled by simplicity and relevance in technology they choose to buy. They view their mobile devices primarily as a way to communicate and stay connected with their relationships. They expect value and reliability in devices and services that they purchases. Many of us fit perfectly into this segment or at least know someone who does.

Many thanks to the many of you who have already responded to the online survey portion of the study which can still be found here. The online survey will remain open for two more weeks.  You are welcome to take part of the online survey portion of the study. A findings report will be made available to all participants in the month of August 2008.

Thank you for your continued support and contributions. As always those of you who are interested in sponsoring MobileMonday NY, or have particular interest in this topic, please reach out to us directly.

We look forward to seeing you on the 28th.

Respectfully yours -
Lubna Dajani and David Harper
Founders, MobileMonday New York

New York: April 28th at MobileMonday NY: Social Search & Mobile Analytics

This month\'s event is sponsored by taptu.

This month’s event, “Optimizing the Mobile Experience and Increasing Visibility with Social Search and Mobile Analytics” is sponsored by taptu.

Bryson Meunier, Resolution Media: To demonstrate how rapidly the mobile web and mobile search is developing these days, ten months ago David Harper said at the Mobile Monday NY dedicated to Mobile SEO:

“There is a real lack of analytics, as far as traffic or benchmarks. Many analytics tools don’t understand mobile traffic.”

Today, however, there are many analytics packages in place to optimize mobile campaigns, including Amethon, Bango, Mobilytics and Quattro Wireless. The fast-paced world of mobile search has also brought Taptu to the forefront in the last six months with their mobile social search engine, which many have called a serious competitor to Google in mobile search.

Other variations in mobile search and discovery are also emerging in the US, such as QR codes and mobile visual search. For webmasters, search engine marketers and advertisers still thinking of mobile optimization in terms of links, title tags and traditional web analytics, there is much to learn today about the opportunities available in the medium.

Fortunately, Mobile Monday NY is hosting a free event on April 28th to discuss the new opportunities available in mobile search and discovery since that Mobile SEO panel just ten months ago. How can marketers best leverage social search and mobile analytics to bring visibility to their brand today? Representatives from several companies active in mobile analytics and social search, including Amethon, Bango, ESPN, Quattro Wireless, Mobilytics, Resolution Media, TigTags, and taptu, will be on hand to discuss. | RSVP here
