Now that the show is over, I can sum it up by saying that it was a big success this year. Companies are coming up with new ways to make money and build their businesses using 3G technologies. The fact is, very soon, you’ll wonder how you ever managed to get by without some of the mobile services that are coming our way. Among the key trends: services that will let you keep track of your children no matter where they are while also allowing you to manage their use of their cell phones. Television programming that will be coming to your cellphones from companies such as MobiTV and Qualcomm. And musicians in search of new distribution channels will also make their music available via cellphones which means that you will get access to music that you could not easily find to before. Perhaps more controversial is the pick-up in interest this year from wireless service providers, that are coming up with new ways to send you mobile advertisements. While that may not sound so great, it could be a way to keep down the monthly cost of service. I’ll be releasing my next issue of Forbes Wireless Stock Watch in the coming days. In this special issue, I’ll further discuss the trends that came from the CTIA Wireless Show. I will also be highlighting four or five interesting companies that I met with at the show. For each company, I’ll let you know what my conversations revealed, what the company’s strategy is, and whether I think investors should buy shares – or steer clear. I’ll also be discussing my overall conclusions and I’ll let you know the key trends that emerged. Filed under: Stock Watch and Applications and Miscellaneous Comments:
