White Paper - Airwide
Airwide invites you to read their white paper on Mobile Messaging 2.0 (PDF) by Vince Kadar, their CTO, and weigh in on the topics and themes raised below in the comments.
An excerpt:
Taking its place with the rest of the 2.0s
When you look at any of the 2.0s – Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, Business Intelligence 2.0 – they all have the confluence of certain market-driving trends at their core. Mobile Messaging 2.0 is no different.
One need look no further than the recent evolution of the Internet to see how mobile messaging will evolve in the next year or two. Web 2.0 makes the Internet more of a shared community versus a one-dimensional flow of information between static Web sites and individuals. First-generation Internet networks had limited capacity and capabilities, constraining what users could do. But as throughput became faster and more reliable, and as hardware and software became protocol agnostic, the Internet blossomed into a user-generated forum for exchanging ideas.
The result? Users are discovering new ways to find, produce and share information. For example, personal Web pages and Britannica Online are giving way to blogs and Wikipedia. Multimedia podcasts and blogs make ordinary people on-air personalities and professional writers respectively.
Imagine what users will do with Mobile Messaging 2.0. One by one, technologies, pricing models and vendors have emerged that are dramatically affecting the future of the mobile messaging industry. And now even more revolutionary applications like Twitter are emerging with potential to generate more revenue for operators – if they can determine how to capitalize on the opportunities. Just as with Web 2.0, more powerful networks and more advanced hardware and software that run on them are enabling users to do more with messaging. This new generation of messaging technology is transforming the one-size-fits-all short message service (SMS) to user-defined, rich-media messaging where users have much more control over how they communicate with others.
However, Mobile Messaging 2.0 does not drive benefit only for subscribers. It also incorporates an emerging set of principles that will guide operators in the development of next generation mobile messaging networks. At its heart, it is a fundamental shift away from ‘network defined messaging’ to ‘user defined messaging’ that has the potential to benefit everyone.
