Mobile Services
Evolution 2008-2018
Bellagio, Italy. July 13
- Aug 1, 2008
http://www.chetansharma.com/UNF-MobileServicesEvolution.htm
This weekend in Bellagio, Italy begins a 4
week long dialogue on the subject of eHealth. The Conference -
Making the eHealth Connection: Global Partnerships, Local solutions
is being organized by the eminent
Rockefeller
Foundation. It will bring in experts and organizations from
around the world to discuss, share, develop, agree on solutions going
forward. Each week deals with a different nuance of the eHealth
framework. This will allow for an in-depth study and discussion.
Full conference info here.
Week 3 deals with
mHealth and Mobile
Telemedicine being organized by The UN Foundation, Vodafone
Group Foundation, and the Telemedicine Society of India. As part of this
conference The Rockefeller Foundation and its partners have released a
series of white papers on various subjects. I was asked by The UN
Foundation to look into the potential Mobile Services Evolution going
forward and how a platform could be developed that will enable a number
of applications focused on enterprise, health, public safety and
associated sub-segments. While it is difficult to predict with any
precision what might happen 10 years from now, one can try to understand
the evolution of technologies, business models and their interrelated
ecosystems and see the impact on various vertical segments where we use
technology to solve some basic problems. Most of the time, technology
itself doesn't cut it, it requires partnerships, collapsing of the
bureaucracy, innovative funding means, and just the burning desire to
make a difference that matter the most. I strongly believe in Mobile's
central role in a number of social and public services. Mobile
Services Evolution 2008-2018 is a small effort to forward that
discussion.
Abstract
Over the last 10 years, the progress
made in the global mobile industry has been truly stunning. Mobile
device ownership has gone from being a luxury item to necessity as the
feverish rate of adoption has spread mobile technologies into every
corner of the world. As we look into the next 10 years, it is certain
that the mobile phone will be used for much more than just voice
communications. There is an opportunity for private institutions and
public enterprises to build a vision of cohesive mobile services
platform that enables and engages the masses to both fundamentally
enhance the quality of their daily existence as well as lead to new
opportunities globally. This paper takes a look at the potential
evolution of mobile technology and services over the course of the next
10 years and discusses an M-Services framework for building and
deploying diverse mobile services. The paper also looks into the
challenges of such an endeavor and steps that will be needed to achieve
the vision.
