The presentation, shown below, is split into four […]
On the 30th October I’ll be giving a free Telestrategies webinar entitled “Telco adoption of Web 2.0 principles and open innovation for rapid application development.” The pitch for the webinar is: “The battle is intensifying between telcos, consumer device manufacturers (e.g. iPhone and Sony PS3) and web-based services (e.g. Google) in the delivery of services […]
As mentioned in the previous article “Open Innovation and Application Developer Needs,” in helping operators understand ways they can harness open innovation I’ve spent most of my time with the application development community understanding their needs. And getting them in front of operators so operators understand what application developers need, NOT what operators think they […]

Secure User Plane Location (SUPL, pronounced supple) in essence enables applications to directly talk to the AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) unit on the mobile phone, without the need to pay the operator for a location dip. SUPL potentially side-lines the operator out of providing location information; without the need for a costly, complex and […]
