Follow up 3GSM 2007

Well, GSM World 2007 has come and gone and I am truly grateful to all the work and effort that went into the planning, preparation and execution because the results were amazing. The week before GSM World the EU and 23 of the largest European mobile operators reached an agreement on protecting children on the mobile internet. So Karina and Deborah quickly arranged a press conference at GSM World and an accompanying press release. The press release alone garnered so much interest that the news of how GenMobi Technologies, Inc. had the only solution available to protecting children on the mobile internet reached literally hundreds of news sites in a day. During GSM World we had government officials come to us asking how they could protect children and some of the top telecom companies in the world came asking that same question. Needless to say the next few months are going to be busy meeting prospective carriers, helping legislatures around the world understand how it is possible now to protect children on mobile and the internet, driving our product development to meet client requirements and growing the company to handle this huge demand. But just as important as all this business news what I found from GSM World is that I actually do speak Spanish and that allowed me to get to know the wonderful people of Barcelona, appreciate the beauty and culture that is Barcelona and enjoy the outstanding culinary and wine delights that are unique to Barcelona. The children and teens of Spain are like any other country - they are growing up with a cellphone in their hands and in my talks with them I found that they all wanted (1) ease of use, (2) knowing who the other people in their communities were, (3) protection from bullies, predators and more dangerous people as well as (4) claiming a piece of the mobile space as their own. I loved interacting with them and that is the best part of my job - getting to know the kids and teens who will use our products. That is why I created GenMobi and why I am so very proud of the entire GenMobi family.

Less than 12 hours to get to the airport

In less then 12 hours we are flying to Barcelona. 3 GSM starts on the 12th but we need to arrive a bit earlier. If we can peep or hear something interesting before the event, we’ll obviously share it with you.

I am particularly excited with the announcement that we will make on the second day of 3 GSM, how it impacts the mobile industry and how our new services will dramatically increase ARPU and make carriers revenues skyrocket. I cannot disclose much now (except that the technology is called BAM) but I promise I will tell you all about it in the next days.
