MWC: bringing SMS and mobile barcodes to railway tickets - the wrong way and the Masabi way
Explore Article gomonews.com (Feb 17 2010) EMEA
Mobile ticketing company Masabi has an interesting theory about mobile: most people really don't care about it. I happen to agree with them there - most people just use voice and text. So over the last 8 years, Masabi has concentrated on making a railway ticketing system so simple and pleasant to use that even people who find SMS "new fangled" will appreciate it. I sat down this morning with CEO Ben Whitaker to look over the service... and I liked it. A lot.

One weak link can break a chain: why mobile advertising failed for Zamano in the UK
Explore Article gomonews.com (Mar 2 2010) EMEA
An interesting news story popped up today. Mobile data services company Zamano reported a revenue drop of almost 40% in the UK during 2009 - a drop that the Irish Times attributed to "a shift away from advertising services on print and TV to advertising on mobile devices." Zamano declared it is withdrawing investment from the UK altogether. This really drew our attention, as it sounded pretty dramatic. It sounded like mobile advertising was being blamed for the low revenues of the company. So GoMo News spoke to Zamano CEO, John O'Shea. And the picture he painted was one of ...

Engineers as marketers: a mobile marketing strategy that seems to be working pretty good for InMobi
Explore Article gomonews.com (Feb 18 2010) Mobile Marketing , EMEA
InMobi belongs to a category of mobile advertisers you might term "the Outsiders". It's a big company, with big reach - but it doesn't have a huge presence in the US or Europe.... yet. GoMo News has reported on InMobi a lot in the past, and I leapt on the chance to talk to them at MWC. I spoke to InMobi Founder & CEO Naveen Tewari and VP of Global Marketing, James Lamberti. We had a great interview about the InMobi business model and expansion strategy - I had not realised how strongly technology driven InMobi is. We also discussed ...

UK Newspapers Want BBC Mobile Apps Blocked For 'Undermining' Them, BBC Disagrees

I wondered how long it would be before print media pointed at the BBC’s new smartphone apps plan as another example of expansion in to their commercial territory. The answer: just 24 hours... The Newspaper Publishers Association, in an emailed statement, says its members believe BBC apps “will undermine the commercial sector’s ability to establish an economic model in an emerging but potentially important market ... This, over the long term, will reduce members’ ability to invest in quality journalism.” The NPA already looks like a dog with a bone with this - it says it will ask the regulating ... -
