Inaugural Conference and Expo to Attract Executives from the Entire Mobile Internet Ecosystem
Westborough, MA - October 29, 2007 - Mobile Internet World is the industry's first conference focused on the future of the mobile Internet and how to profit from it. Over the past 15 years, the Internet has fundamentally changed the way we work, play and communicate. Evolving wireless and mobile broadband technologies are now enabling the next major wave -- the Mobile Internet. A fully-mobilized Internet will enable consumers and businesses to access applications and information anytime, anywhere. Over the next five years, the mobile Internet will be redefined by the convergence of telecommunications, media, advertising, content, entertainment and e-commerce, resulting in the creation of the fastest growing market in the world.
Mobile Internet World will showcase the mobile internet ecosystem and explain how emerging mobile technologies, products, systems and services are combining into a new ecosystem that will enable the next generation of the internet. Mobile Internet World will be held November 13-15, 2007 in Boston at the Hynes Convention Center. The website is www.mobilenetx.com.
"The media and communications industries are in chaos. Traditional operators are fighting disintermediation with convergence, while traditional media companies search for profitable and relevant business models in this new, mobile medium. Meanwhile a completely new generation of services and end-user applications are emerging. Mobile Internet World was developed to help market participants understand how to profit from the mobilization of the internet", says Eliot Weinman, conference co-chair and President of the events division of Yankee Group.
According to Berge Ayvazian, Chief Strategy Officer, Yankee Group and conference co-chair, "In the emerging mobile Internet ecosystem, mobile operators, web content and applications providers, as well as investors are all battling to achieve differentiation and profitability amid a vast spectrum of opportunity. Mobile Internet World is the first event to help define the mobile Internet market, and help attendees form immediate action plans to capitalize on these opportunities."
Opportunities in the mobile internet industry are growing exponentially. For example, according to "The Next Trillion Dollars from the Anywhere Network" recently published by the Yankee Group by 2011 transactions via mobile advertising has the market potential of $10 billion in revenue and mobile commerce has the market potential to reach $5.87 billion.
