3GSM: Wednesday is dotMobi day in Barcelona

by Guy J Kewney | posted on 09 February 2007

Concurrent with the 3GSM conference, there is the Wireless Developer Forum, on two days in Barcelona: and the dotMobi Advisory Group is running sessions on Wednesday 14 February 2007: 08:30 - 13:00 at the Hotel Barcelo Sants. The Forum itself is over two days: 13-14 February.

Boasting of having registered "over 350,000 plus .mobi domains" the Advisory Group promises to "provide all mobile, IT and media companies with insights to the innovative and new revenue-generating opportunities enabled by .mobi domains."

Fortunately, the agenda is rather longer than that. It will, apparently, cover "hot" topics such as mobile web, email, search, advertising, payment and location services.
