From Chris Anderson, Editor-in-Chief, Wired Magazine;
the Internet is

business models, such as "Freemium," a free version
-
be turned into cash with the wave of a venture
capitalist's wand or a well-timed acquisition. But this
year, for the first time since 2001, the overall tide of
investment and advertising won't rise. Indeed, it will
almost certainly fall. Venture capital has dried up, Google
is killing products rather than buying them, and Yahoo
can barely support itself, much less look for others to
fund.

16. Carrier Billing State of the State
Up until mid-2010, offering mobile payments for U.S. gamers via
carrier billing was not an appealing option for publishers and
merchants due to challenges like high rates, surcharges for the
consumer and high refund rates.
But in Asia, carrier billing accounts for 60%+ of all in-game sales,
thanks to the advantages offered by a technology called Direct
Mobile Billing (DMB).
Now that DMB is available in the U.S., it promises to change the
landscape for the gaming market dramatically.
Come learn what the differences are between PSMS (premium
SMS) based carrier billing 1.0 and DMB based carrier billing 2.0
and the difference it will make for your business.
