Both Debi and I attended the Tech Crunch 40 conference on the 17/18 of September - a platform for 40 companies to present their new products and services to an audience of Web 2.0 journalists, media, venture capitalists and interested parties. The Mobile and Communications panel threw up some interesting companies, namely…

Cubic Telecom (www.cubictelecom.com)
Yap (www.yapinc.com)
Trutap (www.trutap.com)
Ceedo (www.ceedo.com)
Loudtalks (www.loudtalks.com)

After the presentation, an expert panel - Chris Anderson (editor in chief of Wired Magazine), Ryan Block (editor in chief of Engadget), Om Malik (founder and exec editor of GigaOm Omni Media) and Marrissa Mayer (VP Search products and User Experience at Google) - discussed the companies chances, and had a chance to grill them on their services. Now’s your chance to listen in on some of the best services Web 2.0 can offer mobile messaging.

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.
