This is smart. Although I hate social networking sites, mobile data is where you make extra cash. I still use eBay over WAP because I'm old school like that. Do I think it's a good idea? Yes. Will Vodafone recoup their investment? Maybe.

Does Arun Sarin speak for the UK/Europe mobile user or the US mobile user ?

Are mobile social networks really the next big thing in compelling mobile apps ?

Thanks, there is some debate over that BW quote. I'll ask Vodafone for clarification.

To be fair to vodafone, i actually think that the 10% figure also includes revenues derived from their move into broadband provision. Given the german unit Arcor Already contributes about 4% of group revenues that 10% figure starts to look wholly more realistic.

Either they will have to make larger screens for cell phones ( but then they won't be cell phones anymore, they will be PDA with integrated phone feature, or small laptops or notebooks) or most people will have eyesight problems, or it won't be that succesful…
