I am here in London now at the Future of Mobile. Great conference, it’s always good to have more and more people joining the mobile space and to catch up with fellow peers, bloggers and ecosystem collegues.

Here below the slides of the keynote I did this morning here at #FOM with topic on “Threats and opportunities of increasing openness in the mobile ecosystem.”

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you’d like to discuss some of the topics in detail or leave a comment.

This week I’m going to spend most of my time in London starting with an event I’m really looking forward to, the Being Digital Mashup Conference on 10th June and organised by Simon Grice and Tony Fish.

The purpose of the event is to debate the commercial, investment and tactical issues that matter when delivering and designing digital services that rely on variety (mashup) of information, data & services. The event has seven themed debates on advertising, identity, content, location, social, retail and search across the important platforms of web, mobile and TV. In each theme there will be leading demo companies showing why it is real and how advanced some actually are. You can check the full speakers list here.

I am not sure if there are still tickets available (I believe the event is - or nearly - sold out). Registration is here.

NOTE: “Being Digital” is also the title of a great book, written by Nicholas Negroponte; it was the book I read in 1995 that spearheaded me inside the digital age!
