The event in coming round again http://mobile2event.com/ and I am on at 11.00 and delighted to be hosting the fireside chat where we will focus on sensors, identity and big data. I have an amazing line up including Dick Hardt Pioneer and Entrepreneur, Kevin Marks Vice President of Open Cloud Standards at Salesforce, Andrew Nash Director of Identity Products Google and Michael Neuenschwander Sr. Director, Product Management, Oracle and Russ McGuire VP strategy at Sprint The starting position is that mobile phones are now digital sensors determining and feeding back what your current environment is like, they provide in India and Africa users with a digital identity, and these device just generate an abundance of user specific, context aware, relevant and timely data. But more data does not automatically give meaning, generate better insights or create value for either users or marketers. So what we are going to chat about is how do we make mobile data more meaningful and does it re...

Operator's Dilemma (And Opportunity): The 4 th   Wave   In 2012, the global mobile industry revenue will hit $1.5 trillion. This revenue has tripled in the last 10 years. Mobile operator’s revenue reached a new milestone at the end of 2011. The total global mobile operator revenue exceeded $1 trillion for the first time. The operator profits have more than doubled in the last 10 years. The trifecta of fast broadband networks, well-designed mobile computing devices, and the insatiable supply of content, applications, and services has unleashed consumer demand for more like never before. If we look at the history of the mobile industry, the first generation was primarily focused on voice and this era persisted for a good 10-15 years before 2G messaging and very basic data services were introduced. A decade later, data services started to become more interesting as 3G networks enabled faster access speeds and new applications. When Apple released iPhone in 2007, foll...

Even Graham, an academic who spends his days studying digital trends across the world, is shocked, pointing out that the US "normally excels in all metrics of online visibility/power/reach". All of which points to the fact that either the folks behind Klout know something that the rest of us don't, or their algorithm sucks. [ Mark Graham ]”

Kabir Kumar write a great blog here Can Digital Footprints Lead to Greater Financial Access? on CGAP, advancing financial access for the worlds poor.  It is about a full report which is here “ ..cell phone users generates data – from basic call data records , to mobile money transactional data , to data from social media usage and so on — that leaves what can be called a ‘digital footprint.’ Whether we call it digital footprint or something else, the truth is that the existence of this data is quite extraordinary for those of us interested in developing services for the poor and people with little or no formal financial access. In fact, in a number of countries, basic cell phone usage data may be the only source of information on vast sections of the low-income population that is both electronic and available in aggregate form in one or two data warehouses. In other words, it is available in a way that can be analyzed.” There is so much gr...

Specifically, the Respect Network is the first network being built from the ground up to give people control of their personal data and the ability to realize that data’s value. Unlike centralized social networks, the Respect Network is a decentralized, multi-provider network much like today’s email or banking networks. Additional partners in the network include Kynetx, Gluu, The OpenXDI Project, Project Danube, The Customer’s Voice, Planetwork, and ...

The Washington, D.C.-based think tank Future of Privacy Forum (“FPF”) released a study detailing the current state of mobile app privacy policies as of this past month, June 2012. The report found that many app developers are now responding to the increased pressure from U.S. regulators on this issue, and have now introduced privacy policies for their applications as well as new policies surrounding the use of customers’ private data. Study results  full pdf Table 1 sets forth the total percentage of all 150 and paid apps across three platforms:     The following tables reflect the % of total apps that provide some form of access to a privacy policy…   But more importantly, the FPF also looked into whether the privacy policy was linked to from the app store listing page and whether it was accessible from within the app itself. (See charts below). After all, what good is a privacy policy, if no one can find it? According to the report’...
