June, 2010 Snaps: Connected World Conference
From the current issue of Beecham Snaps:
Each M2M Service Sector is unique and this definitely applies to the Consumer Service Sector, which naturally includes a great deal of B2C activity, not just B2B activity. This sector also features unexpected events, such as the major spike in sales of Amazon's Kindle late last year.
This year's Connected World Conference, held June 15-18 at Chicago's McCormick Place Convention Center, was larger than previous versions. In line with the evolution of Specialty Publishing's M2M Magazine into Connected World Magazine, a general circulation magazine that goes on sale soon, the conference included some Consumer Service Sector oriented sessions and exhibitors, not just those focused on B2B M2M.
Wireless Carriers
Sprint was an exhibitor for the first time. Last year's show included three wireless carriers, a first, but a panel session at this year's show highlighted the M2M activities of four carriers: AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless -- another first.
The carriers' growing interest and presence in M2M is heightened by the rise of devices such as the Kindle and Apple's iPad and the surge in sales of smartphones offering "apps" previously confined to dedicated M2M devices such as personal navigation devices (PNDs).
