A little late maybe?
by Ragnar Schierholz
Looks like 15 large (and not so large) mobile network operators are forming an alliance against free IM services on mobile devices. They've realized that the profits from the data service might not be long lasting enough, so they should set up their own mobile IM service. To me, that sounds like someone overslept a trend and is now trying to catch up with brute force.

Congratulations. More than 10 years in business, still thinking in walled garden terminology. Perhaps, now that we have Web 2.0, we should also have Mobile Operator 2.0. Any takers?
Ich bin mit www.yamigo.com sehr zufrieden. Das ist ein Wireless Village server, der auch Schnittstellen zu ICQ u.a. hat. Leider ist die Wireless Village Anwendung auf dem Mobiltelefon bei gebrandeten Telefonen im Normallfall ausgeblendet... Bei O2 kann man per WAP Flatrate dann permanent per Wireless Village/ICQ online sein, ohne für das Senden (oder Empfangen) Geld zahlen zu müssen.
Ich bin mal gespannt. Zur Zeit hat yamigo leider einige technische Aussetzer, aber es gibt auch Alternativen zu diesem kostenlosen Service.

Alliance? Cell phone cartel! Mobiles mobsters!
