I'm about half way through the floorwalking now and the meetings are done for the day. The word 'recession' has been mentioned a few times and there's a feel that the industry is tightening its belt somewhat.

Mobile World Congress

My earlier thoughts concerning on-device portals have been supported by some more people here, and there's certainly a lot related to the possible new revenue streams. The industry is at a set of interesting convergences: saturated markets, network rollouts completed, declining ARPUs, very low cost handsets... There's almost a reluctance to move into the newer digital service markets - everything still takes time in mobile. Yet the pressure on revenues hasn't generated very much that's significant: is the best thing that the industry collective can come up with in 2009 a standardised power connector? Or have I not been here long enough to see something earth-shattering?
