Re: Stop selling Ringtones and start selling Frequency Data

this is exactly the kind of data that will be the savior of the mobile industry, whether that be the mobile operators, content producers, handset manufacturers or others.This kind of frequency or usage data enables so many benefits, it's frankly surprising that we haven't got there sooner...of course, ODPs were supposed to be the vehicle to drive this ....

And who said banner advertising on mobile wouldn't work! ;-)

It's case studies like these that are destroying confidence in mobile advertising, the model is just wrong. Once we work out how to get a true advertising model on mobile, then we will see the cash. Until then I guess you have a new contributor to the office coffee fund.

Thanks for sharing Ewan.

Re: A-GPS in a Sim Card from Sagem Orga & BlueSky

Even if it did have an antenna built into it, making GPS and A-GPS work in a handset takes a lot more than just bundling the technology into the phone. It requires significant tuning and careful antenna placement. As already mentioned, the typical location of a sim card is not the ideal location for an A-GPS antenna (or receiver).
