Interview with Jake Morrison from Cogini

 

Steve Follmer consulted in Silicon Valley for many years, where he co-founded live365.com. He is currently between startups and analyzing opportunities in the mobile space. Steve holds a BSE degree from Princeton University.

 

ABI Research projects that worldwide shipments of global positioning system (GPS) enabled mobile phones will reach 550 million units in 2012, up from 240 million units in 2008, representing handset revenue generation growing from $50 billion to $100 billion over that time, with installed base penetration approaching 40%. Who will seize the opportunity this creates?

On the 14th MobileMonday Taipei, we invited presentations from three location-based services providers: jMap.cc , Cogini and GPSStar, discussed how LBS is relevant to our daily life, the innovation they will bring to users, and the value LBS provides.

This industry has been simmering along for years, confronting a chicken-and-egg dilemma, no hardware no solutions, no solutions no hardware. But these presentations made clear that we’re long past the tipping point. To read the complete 14th MobileMonday Taipei event report written by Mr. Steve Follmer, please click here.

We continue our MobileMonday Taipei Live Interview with M. Wang Chih-Hao, business representative of Fring in Taiwan.

It has been a little over a year since MobileMonday Taipei discussed about WiMAX for our launching event in June, 2007. Shortly after the event, the government issued 6 licenses for WiMAX operators,. And ever since then, WiMAX is in its full throttle in Taiwan, although there are different voices about the success of WiMAX in Taiwan. Today it seems that all the focus is still about the deployment of equipments, which is very important for WiMAX, but this time we would like to go beyond the hype and discuss what really matters for the users – the services. What can user really benefits from WiMAX and what changes WiMAX will bring to our day-to-day life.

For the 13th MobileMonday Taipei, we invite 2 WiMAX operators , Global Mobile and Vastar TV to talk about their services and what they are going to bring to the users, and how it will change the telecom industry today in Taiwan.
