Ajit Jaokar discusses the concept of open mobile and how forces are driving the industry in that direction. Open mobile refers to devices that are not tied to a single network and allow complete customization. The internet, user-generated content, and social networking are pushing for more open standards and interconnectivity. While different platforms and app stores currently exist, the open nature of the web will ultimately dominate as it allows for a common programming environment and global reach.

- 3. 2Open Mobile - Outline .. What you will learn: A holistic view - Web. Mobile. Appstores. Open
- 4. How the value chain is changing
- 5. Where it is going to (which appstore will 'win')
- 6. Web v.s Apps?
- 7. How to get the soft copy of my latest book for free ..On the internet - no one knows ..
- 8. Open MobileOpen Mobile - is even your dog can log on to any mobile :) - like the PC
- 9. Open Mobile = your dog can log Cringeworthy as it may sound! - On a more serious note it implies UNLEASHING(UNLOCKING) THE DEVICEi.e. complete separation of access from service! - device is not tied to the network (like a PC)
- 10. Open mobile - Net neutralityOpen Mobile - Net neutrality argument and decoupling the network from the service. Think of multiplayer chess over the network: There are two possibilities - A) If the network is agnostic (i.e. no intelligence is built into the network) - then the chess player can concentrate on creating the chess application. B) If the network is 'intelligent' - then you need a 'network expert' to create a chess application.(a)is an example of intelligence shifting to the edge of the networkwww.maniacworld.com6

- 12. Or building a play frame? Building a Cage or Building a play frame? Both have a structure. One restricts you - the other allows you to explore. The choice is ours .. And the choice has commercial benefits .. http://www.the1foru.co.uk/ekmps/shops/the1foru/images/action_tramps_2005_271%5Bekm%5D465x300%5Bekm%5D.jpg8
- 13. The inevitable forces driving Open MobileWhy OpenMobile is inevitable: Like a freight train .. You cannot stop it .. http://www.edrants.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/rr1.jpg9
- 14. The inevitable forces driving Open MobileThe three riders of Open Mobile: The Internet
- 15. Creation of content (vs.. consumption)
- 16. Social networkinghttp://www.usfca.edu/pj/images/4-3horse.jpg10
- 17. The Internet ..The Internet: All packets are created equal
- 18. Dumb pipes – smart notes
- 19. No differential charging for IP traffic
- 20. 'Communication based' not driven by media players (which seeks to make us passive consumers)
- 21. Connected by IP and http protocols
- 22. Creation and not consumptionhttp://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/webserver-backbone-sm.gifhttp://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/18944/?a=f11
- 23. 12The Internet drives Open The Internet drives 'Open' but Open means many things to many people … Open source - and especially it's impact on devices - Android• Open standards - W3C standards• Open APIs i.e. Application Programming Interfaces - for instance access to Location APIs• Open access (freedom to contact anyone on the network), • Open choice of enablers (for example - the ability to choose your billing system),
- 24. 13The Internet drives Open • Data portability (ownership of your data)• The ability to access any application (i.e. not just the provider's application) a.k.a the classic 'Walled Garden' debate - On deck/ Off deck• 'Open' in relationship to the Cloud• Impact on developers and a shift in value to the edge of the network Low barriers of entry for third party developersFrom a mobile perspective, 'Open' in the purest sense means to be like the PC - i.e. individuals are not tied to a network or to a device. Anyone can simply 'log on' to the network or device using their credentials anywhere
- 25. Open - from a customer perspective ..Open’ means the ability to access a resource or to communicate with people within reasonable commercial and technological barriers. Not free. Open - makes a lot more sense from a customer perspective14
- 26. Forces at work .. Telecoms StackWe are seeing two forces at work: Value is being abstracted to higher levels of the stack / edge of the network (ex appstores, Google Latitude) - for Long tail applications and at the same time, the networks will find profitable niches in areas which they can uniquely do - ex via LTEhttp://www.explore-highland-perthshire.com/images/highland_games/pitlochry/tug_of_war.jpg15

- 28. Value moves away from the network – (Long Tail, Unpredictable use) and also towards the network(Smart Grids, security, Cloud, mobile health)
- 29. A two sided business model .. Two-sided markets, also called two-sided networks, are economic networks having two distinct user groups that provide each other with network benefits. Ex: credit cards (cardholders, merchants); video games (gamers and game developers); the Internet. Benefits to each group exhibit demand economies of scale on the other. Consumers, prefer credit cards honoured by more merchants and while merchants prefer cards carried by more consumers.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-sided_market
- 30. A two sided business model .. Devices, networks and Appstores themselves are part of the ecosystem i.e. Enablers between the customer and the developer

- 34. The irony …Eight years … i-mode launch 22 February 1999i-Phone launch January 9, 2007
- 35. Closed to open .. Locked - closed platforms - open platforms - web apps
- 36. Live and let die ..Live and let die .. OR Mobile apps vs.. the Mobile Web?
- 37. Twitter must die .. Twitter must die for the real time web to live ..
- 38. iPhone must die for .. Mobile Web Apps Will Win In The Long Haul – Vic Gundotra .. Google ..
- 39. The rise and rise of the iPhoneAccording to Frost and Sullivan, App store downloads are forecast to reach 6.7B by 2014
- 40. The rise and rise of the iPhoneIn Nov 2009, App Store carried more items than the world’s largest retailer, Wal-Mart, which merchandises about 100,000 items per store.
- 41. Not all free ...
- 42. Appstore inside ..‘Appstore inside’ – Not just the usual suspects. Allow unpredictable use(generative) – anything can be a platform - adapted from Distimo
- 43. 5 characteristics of an app store ..Five Characteristics of appstores : visionmobile- Single marketplace (submission, certification, targeting, pricing)- Centralised billing , settlement, reporting- Global distribution - across handsets, operators, off deck- Provisioning (install upgrades etc)- On device discovery - discovery, catalogue, marketing
- 44. The web platform ..The web platform – source O Reilly
- 45. Web OSWeb OS – execution environment for cloud applications. It goes beyond just making the Web local(HTML5 already does that). Specifically, If Identity and context become agnostic - then services will be nomadic and personalised. The web OS obtains the profile, determines the context, personalizes the web service. Bridges the Web and the mobile

- 48. 10 reasons why web wins ..1) UI: UI fragmentation is minimised through web standards2) No IPR: There is a potentially a relationship between IPR status and fragmentation. i.e. : if there exists revenue generating IPR on a technology there is a financial incentive (from non holders) to create alternatives and fragment3) Ease of programming: web is easier to program than other languages4) Web technology embraces the graphical creatives i.e. allows UI people to more easily engage in apps5) Web is proven6) Visible code/open source which could help leverage new users7) Same code potentially works across web and mobile8) Widgets are a common paradigm across web and mobile9) Many of the ecosystem gaps are being overcome(billing)10) More programmers know it
- 49. Who will dominate ..Everyone will ‘survive’ – Qs is who will dominate? Ethos of the Web is ‘winner take all’ provided that they serve the customer(and by extension the developer)
- 50. The Cambrian explosion ..Multiple ecosystems .. Thrive and proliferate .. And that’s a healthy state .. But the web always catches up – faster bandwidth – faster processors
