The first Mobile Internet World Conference & Exposition will be held Nov. 13-15 in Boston. The new conference will focus on how evolving wireless and mobile broadband technologies are now enabling the next major wave of the Internet — the “mobile Internet” — according to event organizer Trendsmedia.

With mobile broadband technology delivering throughput up to 10 MB/second, a completely new generation of service and end-user applications will emerge, Trendsmedia says. The resulting “ecosystem of technologies, channels, services, applications, software, media, and communication paradigms [together] represent the Mobile Internet,” according to the company.

The conference's goal is to assemble, for the first time, key mobile technologies, products, systems, and services into a single event attended by key industry players, “thought leaders,” and users. The event's program, according to Trendsmedia, will examine key issues such as:

• How will emerging business models and advanced mobile technologies work?
• How will services be commercialized?
• What products will appear first?
• How will new services compete with incumbents?
• How can Mobile Internet services be integrated into the enterprise or the home?
• What about pricing, availability, and competition?
• What new forms of media and content will be enabled?

According to Berge Ayvazian, chief strategy officer of Yankee Group and conference co-chair, “Previous attempts to commercialize the Mobile Internet have languished in part because of inadequate technology, but more significantly as a consequence of business models that were overly restrictive in the variety of services offered to consumers and enterprises. The proliferation of the Mobile Internet depends on the successful evolution of business models, industry collaboration and emerging network and device technologies that will enable consumers and businesses to capitalize on value created by mobile content and applications.”

Further details are on the conference's website.
