As our daily experiences fuel the dreams and ideas that give birth to next-generation tech businesses, those of us in the industry are constantly looking for ways to stay ahead of the idea curve. Often, that means delving into technologies that are new, plentiful, and untested. Add to that the tidal changes occuring in the telecom industry and—well, it’s nearly overwhelming. There are so many things to keep up with, so many new search tools, social network add-ons, and the like, that it’s impossible to truly stay on top.
Unless you attend eComm.
The European Emerging Communications conference will take place in Amsterdam this October 28-30. The reason this conference will help you cut through the noise of all the new launches and idea overload is simple: the ideamakers are always at eComm. Meet them. Talk to them directly. Exchange your own ideas about the future of the social tech stratosphere. Engage in person.
Consider the changes driving today’s telecommunications industry:
- Telecom is becoming software
- Today’s model of the telephony and SMS cash-cows will significantly dry up long-term
- “Phones” are becoming general purpose always-on computers
- A march is underway to change how spectrum is allocated and utilised
- Applications innovation is being democratised
- The media industry is converging with personal communications
- Internet-style ecosystems are starting to pressurise the traditional value chain
- Search engines and computer manufactures are encroaching into the space
- App downloads; media content and even communication streams are increasingly routing-around operator’s billing systems
- The telecom kingdom is fragmenting daily
This is eComm’s list, of course. But take a look at that last entry. It’s kind of the bottom line, isn’t it? Where do you fit in? Do you have questions, answers, contributions, or just curiosity? Me, too…
