Dear MobileMonday Friends,
Welcome to the next MobileMonday event, co-hosted with
Telkomsel and themed "Mobile Commerce in Digital
Lifestyle: Opportunities and Challenges for 2012"
This is a very hot and interesting topic. As noted by Tomi Ahonen (Pearls #3
- Mobile Money, 2011), mobile application in commerce space has gone from a long
way from a simple SMS alert for banking transactions (yr. 1996 by Merita Bank,
Finland), to paying train tickets (yr. 2000 in Austria), to mobile wallet (yr.
2004 by NTT DoCoMo), to the very successful m-Pesa (yr. 2006 in
Safaricom/Kenya), and the list goes on and on.
I am quoting David Birch of Consult Hyperion in his book "The Digital Money
Reader (2011)"
Looking around the world now, it appears that the era of mobile payments, mobile banking and mobile money is upon us. Mobile and wireless will be central to strategy in the payments world for the foreseeable future.
Are you ready to explore this untapped market? And opportunity that
potentially can deliver a huge impact for our country. Joining us are speakers
