Ringtones, Wallpapers, Java Games: that’s how entertainment media on mobile started out about 8 years ago. However, the expected craze for entertainment on mobile never materialized. Accordingly, some market players have disappeared, yet others have been scaling down or rewriting their business plans.

Operators and handset manufacturers are rethinking their role, while previously uninvolved parties like Apple and Google strive to reinvent the market.
That’s the background against which many companies from the mobile data industry are looking to define their future. Some of them have been in the market from the beginning, others – like social communities or LBS providers – are only now entering it. All in all, it looks like a fresh start!

This installment of Mobile Monday Berlin will take a broad look at where mobile entertainment is heading and what’s in store for the next 12 months. The speaker lineup reflects this broad approach:

• T-Mobile
• StudiVZ
• Dolby Digital
• Jupidi
• Fastfood Challenge
• Exozet
• Cartagena Capital
• Kimiasol
• ZED

As always, after short presentations there will be plenty of time for in-depth conversation and networking by the bar.

Definitely an event not to be missed!

While there’s hardly any other place with as many companies working in the sector of Mobile content, advertising, development and services, Berlin suffers somewhat from its geographical distance to Germany’s MNO headquarters. To bridge the gap, the next Berlin MoMo on March 2nd will be an “Operator barcamp”. Representatives from the Content, Portal and Marketing teams of all German MNOs will convene in Berlin to showcase what’s in stock for 2009 from their side and, at the same time, take in what Berlin’s mobile scene is working on. For some Berlin mobile companies, this may be a first occasion to meet their MNO points of contact in person instead of working through aggregators, while operators get in touch with both established players and newly-founded startups from Berlin’s dynamic Mobile Internet industry.
