Fjalar Sigurdarson
Product Marketing Manager
OZ.COM

Fjalar will focus on the operator readiness vs. user readiness for the coming convergence of ip and mobile communication. He maintains that 3G will be driven by services and not technology, thereby forcing operators to focus on end-users needs. By comparing the mobile data services already offered, i.e. SMS on GSM and WAP, operators can learn valuable lessons. He also points out that the mobile mindset vs. the Internet mindset creates different expectations and willingness to pay for different services.

Mr. Wood will discuss how wireless email and the advent of two-way data is making a significant difference in customer relationship management. He will also outline how these solutions will enhance the customer experience, thereby reducing churn and increasing stickiness for wireless carriers.
