Is Business Blogging for you?

Business leaders take note - an increasing number of people, from the C-level executive to staff employee, are engaging in business and personal blogging, as well as other social media activity.  This affects your business development efforts in a number of ways. It's time to plan how business blogging and social media interaction can be used for effective business development in your business. I explored this topic at the Blogher.org conference in New York this week.

2007 TMT Wireless Update following 3GSM

TMT Investors, Entrepreneurs and Business Management – Where will you play?

Tremendous transformation is how I would describe the wireless services market in the past 15+ years.  My work in the early to mid-90’s, for AirTouch Communications (now part of Vodafone and Verizon Wireless), included compiling the first comprehensive world market studies for the emerging company to pursue its international expansion vision.  In less then a decade, that company became a dominant world player, offering leading wireless products and services worldwide, as it successfully navigated significant change in the technology, regulatory, consumer, and competitive landscapes.

Every year we watch this and witness the ongoing evolution of the industry.  For Time2Market Telecom, Media and Technology clientele, The TMT Experts' Report is in from 3GSM in Barcelona with the 2006-2007 update, so you can understand the state of the worldwide wireless telecommunications and technology market. This update provides meaningful competitive intelligence for your product and service development, as well as market positioning. E-mail or call us to arrange a time to speak.  In the meantime, highlights from the TMT Experts' Report:
- Mobile subscribers reached 2.7 billion worldwide, year-end 2006
- 480 million new subscribers are expected in 2007, 80% of growth will be from developing markets
