![]() ![]() Jacobs is ragging on WiMax - in Korea, only few thousand users. But he sees that changing - where anything you can do wired, you can do wirelessly. Trujillo says game changer is ubiquitous broadband - will be 40MB in Australia by 2009, and after that 1GB.even today, try making video call from wired to wireless call today you can't terminate that call. Integration is where industry is really headed. T-Mobile is doing WiFi at home, inter-operability. Jacobs says people are feeling these things out there is caution on the part of some of the operators AOL went to low flat-rate pricing and overwhelmed their networks little bit more caution, but look around, they are doing deals with Internet players Hutchison in Europe selling Skype and Slingboxes. He says we think know what they want, but we are adaptive if we need to partner with someone else who had something hot, I want to do that he users the concept of supermarket end-caps for highlighting some kinds of services and applications.ĭ'Ambrosio says notion of platform is fuzzy things move downward over time platform continues to evolve unless rules of gravity change. Trujillo says the days are over where you can tell customers what they can or can not have but you can make it simpler for people. To do search - in our case Yellow Search, our yellow pages business - with location based services - you can get maps and instructions on how to get to places in real time.It is about changing quickly, old dinosaur can move faster than most small companies we have resources once they are commandeered to do the right thing.ĭuring the Q&A, one of the attendees is noting the contrast in the notion of a platform between the previous panel, on Internet platforms, and the way the telcom companies look at this. We don't juts advertise network at 14.4 MB a second we took on what has been my mantra.I'm a believer in a one-button, one-click kind of world. He says Hook asks an important question - real challenge is simplicity or complexity of experience. Trujillo says PipeCo becomes PipeCo plus ServicesCo, and some applications. Jacobs says operator has lot of information on presence, location and other information. Hook wonders: if there are three pipes into the home, doesn't edge go to the application developer? Jacobs says there are not a lot of layers slowing things down put Web browser directly on the hardware and things run pretty darn fast. ![]() If you want to download attachment, or watch TV program, it is now real time. Now you can click on a site, can in Australis watch SkyNews Australia on a device in 3-5 seconds. Trujillo is talking about iPhone, and the fact that it is on a 2G network I don't call that a real-time experience, he says. He sees that from enterprise customers to consumer customers. Some segments want it packaged together, some segments don't. (She runs a stand-alone VOIP company, so she better think that, dontcha think?)

Looking at ways to offer applications and services to market, some we develop, some we partner. ![]() Telstra is launching site inside Second Life called Big Pond. ![]() Telstra says people value being able to do things instantaneously - the question is how to extend capability. Trujillo seems not convinced by that assertion - you have to find things people are willing to buy and pay for, and create value for shareholders, and allow customers to stay with you. Her point: despite overlapping roles, people try to move into adjacent businesses, then move back to their core competencies. Hook says everyone is feeling their way at one point it looked like the wireless companies were going to control the Intenet we all climb into each others value chain over time and then come to their senses after spending a few billion dollars. not about roles, it is about who figure it out. Trujillo says people are looking for people to simplifying the experience. Big opportunity to me - really inexpensive, functional devices, with high speed networks, combined with Web 2.0 platforms - that will fundamentally change the way a lot of computing is done in this world. Jacobs says we are in a transitory period who will end up providing search on mobile phone, for instance - carriers, handset operators, Google.everyone is trying to drain value out of other people's part of the value chain. ![]()
