mCommerce Trends
in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) |
| |
|
 |
Tony
Poulos
Contributing Analyst,
Asia/Pacific Telecommunications Research |
| |
|
In this presentation, we will examine
the progress in developing viable mCommerce strategies
in the region. Although there has been much hype
and investment in recent years about the need and
viability of mCommerce in growing economies, there
have been varying results. Some of the topics that
will be covered include the impact of pre-paid as
a viable mCommerce option, variation of financial
standards and the disparity of requirements across
region. We will case study the successes and failures
of mCommerce initiatives as well the interest being
generated by financial regulators that have concerns
about unregulated mCommerce activities with reference
to proposed European legislation in this area. We
will also examine the potential of mCommerce to
impact traditional payment methods such as cash,
debit and credit cards now that mobile devices have
become so prevalent as well as investigating the
security implications of such a move. |

Mash It Up: VOIP
2.0 Meets Web 2.0 |
| |
|
 |
Claus
Mortensen
Research Manager, Asia/Pacific
Communications Research |
| |
|
Only two years after VoIP introduced
a true blending of voice and data networks, we are
already looking at the next generation of both VoIP
and the Web. IDC believes that VoIP 2.0 will be
an integral part of Web 2.0, and that the new products
and services that are being introduced today will
disrupt the traditional telecommunications business
models. Already we are beginning to see voice communications
look like instant messaging and revenue models for
voice services that look like revenue models for
email services. The next generation of VoIP and
the Web will give rise to new mergers and partnerships
that will result in products and services that encapsulate
the concepts of both. This session will examine
how future products will change telecommunications
business models, which companies are best positioned
to capture the benefits, and what the near-term
and longer-term scenarios are. |

Value Over IP in
the Enterprise: Will the Intelligent Network Shift
the Flow of IT Profits? |
| |
|
 |
Landry
Fevre
Research Director, Telecommunications
& Consumer Markets, IDC Australia |
| |
|
Enterprise IP networks are in transition
from best effort service to mission critical conduits
of communications. This new focus is driving network
vendors to develop new technologies and linkages
up the IT stack in order to solve application delivery
and mobility challenges while bringing new levels
of efficiency and reliability to computing and storage.
In this session, Mr. Fevre will review the challenges
and opportunities that arise as core IT services
flow into the network and the number of interactions
between the network other IT entities grow. |
