The project basically looked at the Korean market--the first major market to go live with Mobile TV Broadcasting--and how the Korean experience was relevant to other emerging markets in America and Europe. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The research project was commissioned and sponsored by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Arqiva</span>, a broadcasting infrastructure company in London. And the project eventually became by graduation project for Sloan Fellowship at London Business School.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Some of the key topics covered are:</span><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial;">Historical background of mobile TV broadcasting in Korea</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">Technical standards of mobile TV</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">Observed usage patterns</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">Communal video content consumption vs. individual video content consumption</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Time-shifting and space-shifting TV</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">Subscription vs. Free-to-Air</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">Non-mobile devices including in-vehicle receivers</span></li></ul><span style="font-family:Arial;">Follow the following link: <a href="http://ericemoon.googlepages.com/IntroductionofDMBinKorea.pdf">The Introduction of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting in Korea </a>(<a href="http://ericemoon.googlepages.com/IntroductionofDMBinKorea.pdf">http://ericemoon.googlepages.com/IntroductionofDMBinKorea.pdf</a>)</span>ERic in Londonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05325508001766327978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397692359700858292.post-12733778235685483062007-02-22T17:37:00.000-05:002007-02-22T17:51:39.686-05:00Nokia N800 Review by Walt Mossberg<span style="font-family:arial;">Ouch! This really hurts for my dear friends at Nokia. Who let Walt test the device without the software in it? </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Perhaps, it's just me, but don't you think Walt is a bit biased towards the iPhone? I mean, he doesn't have to mention iPhone every time he opens his mouth or write a sentence, right?</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Personally, I think the Nokia device is really cool. And I'm sure it is more capable than the illusive, but hyped iPhone would be in June. And I'm not sure if the third-party developer strategy is really a bad idea. Would you really want your PC to come with all software pre-installed?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><a href="http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid452319854/bctid511932738">Watch video of Walt Mossberg reviewing N800</a></span>ERic in Londonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05325508001766327978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397692359700858292.post-25132547312732882712007-02-20T17:10:00.000-05:002007-02-20T17:16:13.238-05:00Wireless Network Neutrality<span style="font-family:arial;">Found this brand new working paper on Wireless Net Neutrality by Tim Wu of Columbia University Law School.

What is 3G anyways? And who cares?</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">However, I disagree from the others on <em>why</em> iPhone is such a significant event for the mobile communications business. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The truly revolutionary feature of iPhone is neither the much talked about touchscreen nor its music-playing capability. It is not even the innovative navigation design that involves some type of flickering of the fingers. All of these components of hardware design are not really new and will be copied rigorously by other manufacturers in the short coming months.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">What sets iPhone apart from other mobile devices, however, is that the iPhone will provide users with the uncluttered access to the Internet. Cingular (or the New AT&T as some of its employees started to called their company) has agreed, on Steve Jobs insistence, to do away with the Cingular browser software that is standard on any other web-enabled device on the Cingular network. With the iPhone, a consumer is now able to access the Internet freely without the pre-configured menu of dull and useless contents provided by Cingular. A truely mobile access to <em>the</em> Internet.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">It has taken someone like Steve Jobs to finally get through the thick skull of phone company executives to let them know that the operators are really the dumb pipes. They might have thought that they were the water company, but they were just the plumbers. Plumbers don't control what flows through the pipes--it has to be determined between the water company and the consumers.</span><br /><br /><br /><embed name="flashObj" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=" src="http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/452319854" width="486" height="412" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashvars="videoId=507864079&playerId=452319854&viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://services.brightcove.com/services/amfgateway&servicesURL=http://services.brightcove.com/services&cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&domain=embed&autoStart=false&" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" seamlesstabbing="false" swliveconnect="true"><br /></embed>ERic in Londonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05325508001766327978noreply@blogger.com0
