Ericsson still likes the WAP word: "The system does do exactly what it says on the label. It allows mobile internet sites to bill for content. So if you have a WAP phone – and a GPRS or 3G connexion – it can bill you for services all paid for via your mobile handset.

So what's the big difference between WAP Billing and the well-established Bango? Global reach seems to be one advantage. Once you're integrated into the system, you can sell things to 0.5 billion users in 10 countries.
"

Can anyone point me to more information about this? I can't find anything on Ericsson's site. And as far as international reach is concerned, isn't this the big thing that Bango offers? I'm not a huge fan of Bango personally (thanks to the fairly horrible user experience it offers - which admittedly they've recently started to address with better templated pages), but it doesn't seem to be outclassed by Ericsson from what I can see.

Women lead rush to mobile gaming: "Female wireless subscribers make up 65% of mobile phone game revenue, according to mobile research firm Telephia.

The puzzle and strategy category represented 34% of total revenue and women accounted for 72% of that."

WiMAX in the UK. Here's why it won't fly: "So though WiMAX has the potential to offer high speed broadband access to all, in the UK there's little spectrum and unlikely to be so for considerable time. Pipex and PCCW will launch services, but they'll be "private" networks and WiMAX for the masses is unlikely to happen"

The Mysterious Cone of Uncertainty: "Getting trapped in the Cone of Uncertainty is a classic software project mistake. You think you're 99 percent done for months. It's a cruel failure of perspective that's endemic to the profession of software development."

Symbian sales rise: "The total number of units shipped per quarter continues to rise, and per usual, Symbian is quietly outselling RAZRs and iPods alike."
