I access a lot of mobile content and none of that is within the walled garden of my Telco (Three). Pre iPhone anyone who did a small amount of mobile browsing figured the going direct delivered significantly in terms of choice. Google and others promoting their mobile version (think mail/reader/maps) has accelerated the update. The iPhone App Store will accelerate this even further. Three have the gaul to actually charge to access some of their walled content – most of which is free on mobile browsing (think <a href="http://m.ebay.com.au" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="m.ebay.com.au">m.ebay.com.au</a>, <a href="http://m.truelocal.com.au" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="m.truelocal.com.au">m.truelocal.com.au</a>, <a href="http://m.yourrestaurants.com.au" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="m.yourrestaurants.com.au">m.yourrestaurants.com.au</a>).</p><p>Carriers will soon need to start offering truly unique content or abandon the fees and/or marketing based on their walled content.</p>petercroweTue, 26 Aug 2008 22:28:57 -0000
