London continues to be a hotbed of mobile innovation with the announcement of Ryan Carson’s Future of Mobile conference, due to take place from 17-18th November later this year

The Carsonified crowd have quickly established themselves as running great, low cost, high value conferences in digital mobility, web, design and advertising.

The sessions are themed around openness, operating systems, launching apps, ‘ideas & tactics’ for breaking through industry barriers. It actually looks looks pretty pragmatic, rather than theorerical with a slight bias (and rightly so) towards entrepreneurs and hackers.

Early bird pricing still seems to be in effect, sodelegates can registered for as little as £145/$282. You can find out more about sessions, speakers and workshops at http://future-of-mobile.com/2008/london/

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.
