      <title>Mobile Commerce in China &#31227;&#21160;&#30005;&#23376;&#21830;&#21153;</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<h1>Summary of 8 March event</h1>
<p>Two very enticing presentations from Taobao Wireless Dpt Director, Song Man Yuan, and Harry Liu, <span class="caps">CEO</span> of TreasureBeam, sole mobile commerce and payment partner of Guangdong Mobile. Two other companies, PayPal China (M. Michael Zhao, Head of China Integration) and HandPay (M. Chen Dihao, Marketing Director) joined us for the panel discussion.</p>
<p>Some trends first: for operator-driven m-commerce transactions, utility payment and ticketing (lottery, bus tickets, air tickets etc) are by far the most popular items. Ticketing is also  avery fast growing category on Taobao wireless which is not dependent on operator billing but leveraging on Alipay mobile payment gateway. For TreasureBeam, mobile education, newspaper and insurance selling on mobile will be the next big things, in addition to traditional m-commerce (clothes, cosmetics etc) which are lagging a bit (small screens to download pictures, etc).</p>
<p>On the downside, when working with operators, the difficulty met is in the transaction size limit, a real hurdle for air tickets (Treasure Beam has yet to launch their airticket service) and bad debt. With China Mobile introducing mobile wallet applications, some of these restrictions will be lifted. Marketing of all these applications will also be a key success factor, as users are usually unaware of all the m-commerce applications they can use on their phone.</p>
<p>Some numbers: on Taobao, the average mobile transaction size is <span class="caps">RMB</span> 100. The number of daily transactions reached 100,000 in 2009 and daily transaction volume reached 1 million <span class="caps">RMB</span> (302 Mil <span class="caps">RMB</span> transactions for 2009 alone). The number of daily visitors reached 4 million at the end of 2009 (2.5 Mil daily active users over 2009 on average). Taobao Wireless saw a “hockey stick” in user growth in the second half of 2009, with 40% increase usage. TreasureBeam, on their side, claim at least 10 Mil subscribers. They also saw similar growth patterns.</p>

With the impending 2010 Expo and the ever-increasing focus on China&#8217;s mobile consumers, technology companies and markets, MobileMonday will continue to play a key role in the dynamism of Shanghai&#8217;s business community. <br />
The success of MoMo Shanghai presents a ready-made opportunity for an energetic new team of knowledgeable and passionate mobile industry profesionals to volunteer to shepherd this amazing community into the bright future.<br />

      <title>Wrap-up on the Coupons event | Nov 10, 2008</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>Over 130 people attended the latest Mobilemonday event. We could not even sit everyone.</p>
<p>Presentations can we downloaded here:<br />
<b> iCoupons </b><br />

<p><b><br />
Some take aways:</b><br />
- There is a real need for coupons, which are unique ways for brands/retail to engage with consumers. <br />
- Consumers want interesting offers (iCoupons)<br />
- redemption can be very high &#8211; 71% for Chamate chain of tea houses (iCoupons).<br />
- Puca has a different approach of engaging consumers by putting interactive kiosks in malls and providing coupons there. This is a similar model put in place by Velo, which business model solely relies on kiosks in key locations (usually metro). over 400 kiosks have been deployed (and Velo is claiming over 1 Mil users in shanghai). <br />
- SweetMart engages the consumer in a more classic way, by printing discount coupons in a dedicated printer, installed at supermarket cashiers. enables very accurate datamining and <span class="caps">ROI</span> campaign tracking. <br />
- Enjoy China has an even more classic (and classy) discount book that users buy and enjoy in over 300 venues across town (Shanghai). <br />
- According incumbent players (iCoupons, SweetMart, Enjoy etc), having a physical coupon in hand is a key aspect of coupon redeeming. Mobile players seemed to disagree&#8230;<br />
- Mobile coupons could really take off when better reporting and tracking is in place, and when coupons are more personalized, easier to get and to claim.</p>
</hr>
<p>To go beyond this panel, let&#8217;s also share some recent research about mobilecoupons: <br />
<a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/mobilemarketingtoday/mobile_coupons/200m_mobile_coupon_users_by_2013_juniper_100186.asp"><img src="/files/cellfire%20gamestop.jpeg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><b> Some 200 million consumers worldwide will use mobile coupons by 2013, says a new report from Juniper Research.</b></p>
<p>According to the study, Japan and Korea have the most advanced mobile coupon markets, but much of the forecast growth will come from the US and Europe as more restaurants, entertainment, retail and grocery companies adopt the medium.</p>
<p>Although most coupons today are still paper-based, mobile coupon pilots have shown much higher redemption rates, &#8220;often double-digit percentages,&#8221; noted report author Howard Wilcox.</p>
<p>The research forecast has Western Europe and North America together being responsible for nearly 20% of mobile coupon redemption values by 2013, taking market share from the Far East, which owns nearly all mobile coupon usage today.</p>]]>

      <title>Wrap Up on Mobile and Online Gaming Convergence event</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>After 3 months away, mobilemonday shanghai was back to discuss convergence between mobile and online gaming. We had the pleasure to host 4 distinguished guests from Troodo, China Mobile, Gobi Ventures, Interfax.</p>
<p>Troodon and Interfax presentations can be downloaded <b> <a href="/files/Momo%20shanghai%20Troodon%20china%20gaming%20market%2020080922.pdf">here</a> </b> and <b> <a href="/files/Momo%20shanghai%20Interfax%20china%20gaming%20market%2020080922.pdf">here</a> </b>.</p>
<p>Here is a round up on the event itself:<br />
(big thanks to Bill Crampton from <a href="http://www.btt-china.com"><span class="caps">BTT</span> China</a> for having greatly contributed to this column)</p>
<p>According to Interfax (Iris Hong, China <span class="caps">TMT</span> team leader), the mobile market is encountering steady growth (see below for downloadable report) and China Mobile launched a new mobile gaming platform for connected mobile games, charging either on a monthly basis or per item (per level reached in the game) with free download. 9 games have been launched on this platform already.</p>
<p><b> Current challenges and conclusion from the panel </b>:<br />
- Operators dominates value chain and control the pipe, China Mobile is now owning 2 gaming platforms<br />
- Technical difficulties &#8211; launching 3G is everything but easy, especially on unproven technology such as TD-<span class="caps">SCDMA</span>.<br />
- Restructuring in industry creates uncertainty (and opportunities, but that remains to be seen actually). <br />
- Current network speed is low, difficult to download over 1 mb in size<br />
-High data fees in Beijing and Shanghai, much cheaper in Guangdong<br />
-Faster data speed <span class="caps">SHOULD</span> mean fees go down, even in shanghai and Beijing, which are currently the most expensive in China.</p>
<p>Here is more on individual presentations.</p>
<p><b> Troodon &#8211; Larry Zhang, <span class="caps">CEO</span> and Founder </b></p>
<p>PC Online Gaming (<span class="caps">POG</span>) is tje most successful online business model in China<br />
Do players only play Mobile Online Games (<span class="caps">MOG</span>) for short periods? actually, no! Average user spends 4.5 hours per day on the game &#8211; not snack, but dinner<br />
60 percent are students, also soldiers who are not allowed to use the Internet<br />
Troodon Heroes of Song doing well now<br />
<span class="caps">MOG</span> user base is much bigger than <span class="caps">POG</span> base<br />
Customers pay no less for <span class="caps">MOG</span> than for <span class="caps">POG</span><br />
Traffic fee #1 limitation, many users max out by 20th of the month or so, after they have used up their 100 MB data package.</p>
<p><b> China Mobile &#8211; Mr. Wang WeiXun, Sr Project Manager </b></p>
<p>China Mobile gaming platform needs work<br />
Long term goal is to support large scale <span class="caps">MOG</span> services<br />
China Mobile only invests in platform when business model is well established. Example; Fetion (Feixin) platform developed after QQ established market</p>]]>

<p> </p> <br />
In a nutshell:<br />
In 2007, revenues generated by Java and <span class="caps">BREW</span> mobile games reached <span class="caps">RMB</span> 777 million ($113.3 million). Java/<span class="caps">BREW</span><br />
mobile game revenues are expected to maintain their high growth momentum and reach <span class="caps">RMB</span> 1.29 billion ($188.1 million)<br />
in 2008 and <span class="caps">RMB</span> 3.16 billion ($460.77 million) in 2010.<br />
Although there are almost three times more handset users than Internet users, those who play online games on their<br />
handsets make up a very small proportion of handset users. The mobile online gaming segment generated revenues of<br />
<span class="caps">RMB</span> 120 million ($17.5 million) in 2007. The year 2008 is likely to be a turning point for the online mobile game market, with revenues from the online mobile game<br />
market in China expected to almost triple to <span class="caps">RMB</span> 380 million ($55.65 million) in 2008. Mobile game companies are<br />
likely to see another wave of investment between 2008 and 2010.<br />

      <title>Wrap-up on June 23, 2008 event on Mobile UI</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>Thank you to all guests of the June 23rd event on Mobile User Interface.</p>
<p> </p> 
<p>3 speakers, 7 panelists, to cover the &#8220;talk of the town&#8221; topic, how to design a better user interface. According to <span class="caps">IDEAN</span>, a UI designed with convergence in mind (web, wap, etc) is key to driving better adoption of value-added services, reinforcing the look-and-feel identity and consistency. From a more practical perspective, all our speakers went beyond simply nice icon design to focus on the service to be delivered instead, and how to get there (on the phone) as rapidly as possible. In the case of Microsoft, the Beijing design team created a totally new concept called &#8220;Cupid&#8221; meant to build a UI environment for 2 mobile phone users, instead of one, enabling the viewing of a single videos between 2 screens, facilitating exchange of photos, multimedia files, contacts, bookmarks etc. <br />
Overall, though, all our panelists, including leading handset vendors, agree that Chinese Mobile operators are still behind when it comes to specifying new UI to their handset suppliers. Brand recognition (some red-ish icons, for china mobile) still primes over ease of access to different value-added services.</p>
