But….
Imagine if…

10.
A smart phone company launched
their own phone, and blocked
operators from using their own
content decks
(zero phones will released with that
until now)

Learn from our mistakes, and don‘t repeat them!

14.
So….
Imagine if…

15.
Smart phones were out
distributed out to the market
(most of phones released today
are smartphones)

16.
Data connection costs were
minimum, data capping was
present
(UK introduced Q1/2009, other countries to
follow)

17.
People won‘t care about
operator decks – why?
Operators can‘t manage the speed of
development that thousands of developers
can generate.

18.
People won‘t care about
manufacturer stores – the
mobile internet will be open and
accessible.
Manufacturers working in a closed
environment = like Apple, doesn‘t work.
Developers need freedom.

Self Central - Vodafone quot;Cyworldquot;
• Vodafone in New Zealand has launched a mobile
social networking service similar to Cyworld
branded Self Central
• Users have rooms and avatars
• Part of Self Central's attraction is a user-
generated content revenue-sharing model similar
to SeeMeTV, but Self Central gives back 20% of
UCG content revenues to original creator
