Australian telco rejects femtocell … Intel CEO talks wireless electric lamp … Cisco’s WiFi fail at MWC … Vodafone to avoid closed vertically-integrated systems … Android booth has awesome slide … Euro operators are over-regulated … HTC Desire S runs Gingerbread … Operators have their own app store … Augmented reality navigation app
These are a few of the themes and memes that I picked up while checking out the Mobile World Congress web site and scanning Twitter hashtags.
Another theme that you can’t help but notice is that operators can’t wait to really monetize the mobile app market. Not a surprise, but now with impressive deep snooping gateway routers (Cisco’s ASR 5000), ISPs and wireless providers will be getting much closer to pulling this off with very dynamic and flexible payment models.
