Mark Ollila is Director Technology & Strategy and Head of Nokia Games Publishing, Multimedia at Nokia, of course. Mark and I talked about a number of topics with respect to mobile messaging and multimedia, media interaction, syndication and even the mobile internet.

Special thanks to Mark for doing this interview twice after a small production error. Tip: be sure the mic is plugged into the mic port and not the earphones one. *blush* I’m sharing this embarrasment with you so that my rapid speech through the interview has a bit of context. No, I wasn’t trying to catch a bus or train during the interview.

The Future of MM Apps and Services

Worldwide, mobile operators are struggling to maintain their current ARPU levels as competition drives ever-lower pricing for voice minutes and text messaging plans. At the same time, operators are trying to determine what is the secret to developing the next generation of applications and services that enable them to attract new customers, reduce churn and to get more value from their existing customers.

But predicting the next "killer app" is not that simple. And the mobile industry is infamous for bouncing from one topic to the next in a desperate search for the next great app.

Predicting the future is the art of seeing the present logically extended. Given the degree of interdependency -- and invested capital -- among the key players in the value chain, changes in the industry will likely be evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

Hear Airwide CEO Kevin Wood highlight 4 key factors he sees in predicting the future of mobile messaging applications and services in this interview with Telecom TV.
