Please register "HERE":http://momoshanghainov09.eventbrite.com/ <p> </p> !/files/touchmedia.gif!:http://www.touchmedia.cn According to industry analysts, the mobile marketing and advertising market in China -- including messaging -- could well exceed $100 million in 2009 (optimists talk about $200 million). Though smaller than in Japan's market (est. $1 billion), China is expected to close the gap quickly, with almost 200 million mobile internet users (192 million @Sept. '09). Founded in 2003, TouchMedia has become the leading media network in Chinese cities' taxis, offering a mix of interactive and advertising-based content to passengers. With the average taxi ride between 18 and 21 min and a captive audience of high income consumers, TouchMedia is now starting to capitalize on higher mobile awareness and usage, and to leverage mobile networks and location-based services, like maps and coupons, to engage, interact and entertain passengers even further. Neil Ducray, TouchMedia’s Managing Director, will guide MobileMonday Shanghai community on a journey toward convergence of mobile and “outdoor” media. h2.

Here is a round up on the event itself: (big thanks to Bill Crampton from "BTT China":http://www.btt-china.com for having greatly contributed to this column) According to Interfax (Iris Hong, China TMT 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. <b> Current challenges and conclusion from the panel </b>: - Operators dominates value chain and control the pipe, China Mobile is now owning 2 gaming platforms - Technical difficulties - launching 3G is everything but easy, especially on unproven technology such as TD-SCDMA. - Restructuring in industry creates uncertainty (and opportunities, but that remains to be seen actually). - Current network speed is low, difficult to download over 1 mb in size -High data fees in Beijing and Shanghai, much cheaper in Guangdong -Faster data speed SHOULD mean fees go down, even in shanghai and Beijing, which are currently the most expensive in China. Here is more on individual presentations. <b> Troodon - Larry Zhang, CEO and Founder </b> PC Online Gaming (POG) is tje most successful online business model in China Do players only play Mobile Online Games (MOG) for short periods? actually, no! Average user spends 4.5 hours per day on the game - not snack, but dinner 60 percent are students, also soldiers who are not allowed to use the Internet Troodon Heroes of Song doing well now MOG user base is much bigger than POG base Customers pay no less for MOG than for POG 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. <b> China Mobile - Mr. Wang WeiXun, Sr Project Manager </b> China Mobile gaming platform needs work Long term goal is to support large scale MOG services China Mobile only invests in platform when business model is well established.

Java/BREW mobile game revenues are expected to maintain their high growth momentum and reach RMB 1.29 billion ($188.1 million) in 2008 and RMB 3.16 billion ($460.77 million) in 2010. Although there are almost three times more handset users than Internet users, those who play online games on their handsets make up a very small proportion of handset users. The mobile online gaming segment generated revenues of RMB 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 market in China expected to almost triple to RMB 380 million ($55.65 million) in 2008.

According to IDEAN, 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 "Cupid" 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. 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. <b> Presentations can be downloaded here: </b> "Microsoft Cupid Concept" "MicrosoftCupid_shared Momo shanghai.pdf":/files/MicrosoftCupid_shared%20Momo%20shanghai.pdf "Asentio Design" "Asentio Momo shanghai.pdf":/files/Asentio%20Momo%20shanghai.pdf "Idean" "IDEAN - Momo shanghai.pdf":/files/IDEAN%20-%20Momo%20shanghai.pdf and again a big thanks to our speakers on June 23rd: </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3> <div> <p> M.

Take aways/downloads </P> <p> First of all, we are pleased to announce that thanks to everyone's participation, we have collected a bit more than RMB 5,000 during the event alone for the victims of the earthquake in Sichuan. We donated it to the Red Cross Society of China. More here: !/files/chinese%20red%20cross.gif!:http://www.redcross.org.cn Second, we had a terrific event the other night, and had the opportunity to compare "live" 5 different services. The demo was clearcut. A small competition led with a few volunteers highlighted cgogo has the best service in entertainment and general search (followed by Google). mInfo came first in the local search (followed by Google as well). Third, when it comes to business models, the preconceived view about advertising seems not that obvious, according to Cgogo. Zhu Bo, the CEO, was actually pessimistic about the mobile search industry's future, at least for "small players" else than Google or Baidu. In this regards, he considered advertising was only representing a tiny fraction of Cgogo's revenue. Most of the revenue coming from content download (MVAS). The traditional SP model is back? we can definitely wonder and ponder. if actors like mInfo definitely rely on local search sponsored ads, all the other players (cgogo, Roboo and uucun) who thrive on content and entertainment, have build more balanced revenue streams. 2008 and 2009 will really tell if small actors can truly survive in a world dominated by search giants. - Download the presentations here: </p> <p> "minfo.pdf":/files/minfo.pdf "roboo.pdf":/files/roboo.pdf "cgogo.pdf":/files/cgogo.pdf "uucun.pdf":/files/uucun.pdf </p> <p> <hr/> <h3 style="text-align: center"> May 26th, from 7pm to 9.30pm at Kathleen's 5 restaurant and bar (325 Nanjing West Road, inside Museum of Modern Art, angle with Huang Pi Road).</h3> </p> <p> <h2 style="text-align: center"> <b>手机搜索 </b></h2> </p> <p> <h3 style="text-align: center"> MobileMonday上海2008年5月26日，19：00－22：00 地点：上海赛玛餐厅，南京西路325号（黄陂北路).</h3> </p> <p> <hr/> </p> <p> <h3> <b> MobileMonday Community supports earthquake relief </b></h3> To support relief effort towards the victims of the earth quake, MobileMonday Shanghai will exceptionally charge RMB 100 for the event(instead of RMB 50 usually).

Take aways/downloads </P> <p> Bedo's innovations are coming from a powerful friend and profile matching algorithm implemented on top of a location-aware platform. The idea is to meet people who match your expectations/profile, locate them geographically and communicate with them anonymously (if needed) over IP (Bedo has designed a VoIP gateway over GPRS). Push to talk and broadcast-to-many are key features of the service. Revenue comes from premium features but mostly advertising from POI etc. - Download the presentation "here":/files/bedo%20Mar%2028th%202008%20(MM%20template).pdf </p> <p> Gypsii, a 2008-Navteq Global LBS Challenge Finalist, is positioned as a mobile lifestyle service. Gypsii is coming from a mapping and GPS background. Their focus and expertise is about sharing life experience (hence the UGC component), rather than communicating real-time with people in the vicinity (Bedo), though it is possible too (via sms, IM, or simply phone of course). The geo-tagging component plays an important part, as well as the “search venues and POI” and directions on how to get there. Search is an important component of Gypsii’s offering. - Download the presentation "here":/files/gypsii%20Mobilemonday%20Shanghai%202008_SNS.pdf +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <h1 style="text-align: center;">LBS and Mobile Social Networks</h1> <p> <h3 style="text-align: center">April 21st, from 7pm to 9.30pm at Kathleen's 5 restaurant and bar (325 Nanjing West Road, inside Museum of Modern Art, angle with Huang Pi Road).</h3> </p> <p> <h2 style="text-align: center">LBS 手机定位服务和手机社交网络</h2> </p> <p> <h3 style="text-align: center">MobileMonday上海 2007年4月21日，19：00－22：00 地点：上海赛玛餐饮有限公司，南京西路325号（黄陂北路).</h3> </p> <p> <div> <div style="float:left; margin-right: 5px"> !http://www.mobilemondayshanghai.net/files/mobile_with_a_map.jpg! </div> <div> According to the estimation of Analysys International, revenues from China's LBS market reached RMB 505 million ($71.6 million) in 2007, up 59.7 percent year-on-year.

Mobilemonday Shanghai was back on March 17th, 2008, 7pm – 10pm Venue: Kathleen’s 5 Restaurant and Bar, 325 Nanjing Xi Lu (Huangpi Bei Lu). Directions and other info can be found at http://www.kathleens5.com.cn Mobile Monday上海 2008年3月17日，19：00－22：00 地点：上海赛玛餐饮有限公司，南京西路325号（黄陂北路） </p> <p> According to BDA, China Mobile’s enterprise customers represent over 26% of its user base, and a much higher ARPU than average subscribers. The recent creation of an Enterprise division at China Mobile marks a trend that the future battle of Chinese telecom operators might be in the Enterprise space. Yet, these corporate customers require specialized sales people, better customer service and more tailored solutions. How to address these challenges? 2 of 3 speakers tonight (SRT and ZeroGlobal) will share with us some recipes for success in the enterprise market, while the third (Babeeta) will show us how these very enterprise services (push email in this case) can successfully appeal to the consumer world too and blur the lines. 根据BDA调查显示，超过26%的中国移动手机用户来自移动公司的移动服务业务，并且取得的ARPU比普通用户高得多。 中国移动领域的最新划分标志着未来中国电信有可能进入移动领域的趋势。这样，客户将需要更专业的营销人员，更好的服务以及更专业的个性化定制方案，如何应对这些挑战呢？今晚到场的3位专家，其中2位将与我们分享企业成功的市场策略(SRT and ZeroGlobal），另外一位将为我们分享如何提供更专业的服务(push mail)去消除界限以吸引全球客户。 h3.

Slow bandwidth, regulation and IPR are the three main issues clogging growth. Yet new players have emerged, such as Dragon New Media, 3G.cn, ivision China, Green Tomato, Streamezzo etc coming from different angles, such as TV broadcast, video or streaming multimedia content businesses. Recent regulation from MII/SARFT regulating video download may also heavily influence this industry soon. h3. Take aways from the evening: - Our two speakers, Wu Chunlei CEO of Dragon New Media, and Mike Lee, GM China of Streamezzo, walked us through live mobile TV services they launched in China (Dragon New Media) and elsewhere in Asia and Europe (Streamezzo). - On the pure technical side, mobile TV services have already been launched in China, mostly through GPRS/Edge by Dragon New Media and a few other mobile players (sometimes unofficially in the latter case) - Using a more adequate bearer, some portable multimedia players and local brands of phones can also be found using TMMB technology and broadcasting TV. It is however clear that, from a standards perspective, CMMB (SARFT advocated standard) will prevail as the official mobile TV standard. With 3G coming along, we also expect to see 3G-based mobile TV and streaming services. The big question is: how will these services be packaged and to which extend will China Mobile and other mobile operators support it, considering the heavy strain on the network. - Regarding the Dec 17, 2007 joint regulation from MII/SARFT stating that video download services must from now on be state-controlled, it is aimed at both Internet and Mobile Internet content providers. Video download / streaming content providers will have to be in majority owned by a state-owned company. - From Chunlei’s perspective, the Chinese proverb “if the order comes from the top, solutions come from the bottom” to illustrate the fact these content providers falling under the new legislation rules will find solutions to accommodate the present situation. Chunlei e highlighted the fact that Dragon New Media, as a state owned company itself, had not been approached. </hr> </p> <p> h3.

With the expected and massive arrival of GPS-enabled mobile phones and PMP (Portable Multimedia Players) and in-vehicle navigation devices in the Chinese market, location-based services is set to take off in the coming few months. <br clear="right"/> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fshanghaimomo%2Falbumid%2F5114154431050129265%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed> <br clear="right"/> Though we are still unclear on how much money is to be made in this market, our expert speakers gave us a few ideas ahead: h3. Device, Device, Device! According to Kirvan Pierson, this is where the money is. And he is not alone. Destinator also relies on device-embedded applications, currently available on PND (Personal Navigation Devices), PDAs and now cell phones. There are 300 PND manufacturers in China, and the bulk currently supplies to 77Mil vehicles in use, growing at 16% CAGR through 2011. This is where growth will be sustained in the coming few years. h3. Network-based applications will be slow to pick due to China Mobile and China Unicom speed (or lack therefore) in making the technology easily available to MVAS providers. h3. Connected applications (embedded in device, but refreshed real-time) will prevail. Maps are a perfect example. GPS-enabled devices will become mainstream (USD 5 only for a chipset currently). h3. Pure LBS will be restricted to niches (police, emergencies etc). MTI showed that building a business on LBS only and customized devices for elderly, handicapped people or kids is possible. Niche specialization should be key to success here. For more, download presentations here: Kirvan Pierson, Managing Director, XLocate.

Our friends from Nokia honored us with a strong presence, with over 20 people for Nokia alone! China Mobile Folks (the gaming team!) also came and shared some thoughts with us. Take away from the meeting: - It is very difficult to meet marketing "windows" when you work with the Chinese market, where application time for the China Mobile deck for example can go up to 6 months (marketing window = launching a licensed game before or in the same time as the movie for example). - New business models will emerge, outside the operators' control (Glu launched a scratch card with Maxis in Malaysia on one of its recent launches), but for now, the classic SP-Operator relationship and billing still holds, and downloads (according to China Mobile) have been increasing steadily. - Contrary to what people might think, the timing to invest in mobile gaming in china is appropriate. Mobile gaming, outsourcing or selling to the local market, is poised to grow, especially with higher bandwidth available with 3G. A special thanks to Robert Hayes, MD APAC of Glu, flying from Hong-Kong, and Petri Talala, VP at FutureMark, who flew from Finland. Congratulations, finally, to Philip Ma from HP and David Cao from Streamezzo who won the lucky draw tickets for the DeBono Conference on Sept 20, valued each over EUR 500 each.

In the same time, we have seen outside of China the emergence of a breed of co-branded handsets, such as the Motorazr Dolce & Gabana, the LG Prada phone, Disney Mobile phones (etc), a trend fostered also by the emergence of MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operator – Virgin Mobile is an example) across Europe and the US, and the need for greater differentiation from retail brands. So far, China and its 2 largest operators have only mildly caught up with the fever, offering only slight customization in a few selected handsets, and little or no “quality” accessories accompanying new branded phone concepts. Modelabs Group, an expert in the field of tailor-made mobile phones and accessories, along with Disney Consumer Products, which launched an MVNO in the US and branded handsets in many countries including China, and EBT Mobile, one of the largest mobile phone distributors in China, will help us assess how the local mobile phone market will evolve towards phone and accessories branding and differentiation, and when! <div> <b> M.

Like a vengeance, mobile payment & transactions is back in the limelight in China, for good this time. <div style="float: right;"> !/files/march_side_image.gif! </div> NXP and Sony, two heavyweight players in the contactless technology, recently announced they teamed up to standardize mobile wallets. In Japan only, 12.6 million consumers already have their credit card embedded in a chip in their mobile phone, and they can pay for purchases by swiping their phone over a wireless reader. The Sony-provided chip is also installed in 32 million “wallet phones” and in as many as 120 million contactless cards. A slew of trials or commercial launches in Germany, Taiwan, France, The US, The Netherlands, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand and the Philippines confirm the growing trend outside of Japan. Yet, China is not standing still, as several trials are also taking place, such as in Shanghai or Xiamen. In 2006, a field trial started in Xiamen together with NXP, Xiamen e-tong card, Nokia and China Mobile Xiamen. The Nokia phones, equipped with an NXP NFC chip embedding a mobile wallet , can be used to shop in over 4,500 locations equipped with contactless readers as well as similarly equipped entry points in the public transportation system. Even more recently, China Mobile just announced they joined a group of its industry peers to lead a worldwide program to extend the use of mobile phones for payments at any point of sale. The "Pay-Buy Mobile" initiative was launched on Tuesday with 14 mobile operators - representing more than 900 million subscribers - by the GSM Association. Industry insiders predict the most popular M-transactions will revolve around: - Ticketing (transportation, e-tickets etc) - Micro payments using a mobile wallet with NFC/sms/wap sessions (payment at convenience stores, top-up, utility bills payment etc) and mobile banking (account balance, money transfer etc) - Information on the move, service discovery and purchase (with NFC, QR code etc). Our two keynote speakers and mobile transactions experts, Greg Shen, from Smartpay and Patrick Henzen from NXP, will share their views on this new ecosystem, who makes money (and how much…), what are the hottest new applications, the current barriers to entry and other regulatory limitations in China. They will then be joined in our panel by industry leaders from the banking sector, sim cards and handset vendors. <b>• Greg Shen, President & CEO of SmartPay</b> Prior to joining as CEO, Greg led a buyout and restructuring of Intrinsic Technology, a telecom solutions provider in China, which SmartPay acquired.

However, as increasing numbers of photo and video enabled devices enter the market, the volume of users uploading images or clips is expected to grow significantly. In 2006, 46 million users are expected to submit video clips to services such as SeeMeTV or YouTube from their mobile phone, rising to 198 million by 2011. Mere months ago, mobile user-generated content barely existed. But on Monday night we will be joined by several companies, both on stage and in the audience, that are making a run at China’s millions of amateur mobile-videographers, bloggers and IM’ers. With dozens of start-up companies, as well as the major Internet players like portals and blog platforms, all aiming to develop this young market, what is the current status and where is the industry headed? Our speakers and guests will engage in a lively debate about the value of user-generated content from a mobile perspective. Everyone wants to know what will drive this dynamic and unpredictable new market. Please bring the questions that are nagging you, and be prepared to challenge our speakers – these are just a few of the critical issues we will cover: The mobile version of user-generated content has completely different usability issues (and therefore different usage drivers) from its Internet cousin. How does this affect development and marketing of applications? Who is responsible for regulating or controlling the content that users submit? And who really owns the content that is contributed? How will service providers address this challenge? What is driving content generation, so far, and what will be the key drivers in the future? Are advertising-supported business models applicable to mobile UGC platforms? How will this work? Be a part of a new community of like-minded mobile aficionados - join us at MobileMonday! <b>Panelists:</b> <b>Fred Y Ju, CEO, Wap Tianxia</b> Wap Tianxia (www.waptx.com ; wap.waptx.com) is a leading content and service portal for mobile internet users in China.

Free Entry (and one iPod to win!)</b> After years of proselytizing and prognosticating, the development of a true mobile advertising market in China may finally be upon us. In addition to Focus Media recently purchasing (Kaiwei Diangao) Dotad Media Holdings for $30 million and China Mobile's "M-Dream" choosing Fractalist China Inc. as its exclusive advertising agency (China Mobile thus becoming one of the largest advertisers in China) , a gaggle of VC-backed projects were set up in 2006 to develop tools and networks that hope to take advantage of emerging mobile advertising media. Advertising on wireless wapsites only started to appear in March of this year, but monthly sales reached nearly 1 million Yuan in July according to SinoCast China IT Watch. Some industry watchers estimate that mobile phone advertising in China will generate nearly 500 million Yuan in revenue this year -- double last year's market value, and growing at a compound annual rate of 38%. Yahoo, Google, Sina, Baidu and other industry heavyweights are piling into this advertising sector. With so much of China’s advertising innovation emerging from the “new media” hotbed of Shanghai, Mobile Monday will take a stab at assessing this newest of new media, and addressing some of the concerns: What are the roles of operators to block or permit user info surfing free sites that do not belong to China Mobile m-dream? Will China Mobile even matter in the long run? How is mobile an extension of online - but is it really? What does mobile advertising enable? There are many applications available on the market. Will mobile search supplant desktop search in China, for example? What are the “goldilocks” limits on this new medium? Spam will surely crop up, and we need to understand tolerance levels as many customers are already fed up. How to measure this market? Segmentation and tracking of clicks is a key to healthy development, as traditional media agencies are currently dubious that there is enough evidence to convince their clients to make the jump to mobile Three true thought-leaders in the mobile advertising sector will fuel the debate at our inaugural event. <b>Panelists:</b> <b>Joshua Maa, CEO and Founder, Madhouse</b> Joshua Maa has over 14 years of managerial experience in Greater China’s New Media, Entertainment, and Consumer Marketing industries.
