It has been said that mobile site has great advantages especially for businesses and advertisers because mobile internet is naturally built to handle money. Also, users prefer services that are mobile than those that are bounded to fixed networks.

Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google wrote in the Financial Times    in 2005 that “Mobile phones are cheaper than PCs, there are three times more of them, growing twice the speed, and they increasingly have internet access. Mobile is going to be the next big internet phenomenon…”

In the immediate future, Schmidt’s prediction on the mobile as the next big thing in internet technology shall be realized with mobile site providers jumping on the bandwagon and opening doors to people and businesses to create their own mobile site.

Filed under: Uncategorized — louella @ 8:04 pm

Peer-to-peer sharing is one of the many activities on the internet today. Peer-to-peer sharing constitutes the reproduction and distribution of, more often than not, copyrighted music, movies, photographs and software through the use of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. P2P file sharing allows a computer to link up to a P2P network and allows the user to download and share files with other users on the network.

But is peer-to-peer sharing legal?

Peer-to-peer sharing is legitimate if it is utilized within a company’s computer system to allocate company documents among its employees or if the files shared are the users’ own or has the user’s authorization for distribution. Peer-to-peer sharing becomes illegal when the following activities are carried out minus the copyrighter owner’s permission:

* The plagiarism of copyrighted material and the posting of such materials on one’s blog or web space.
* Copying and sharing music, films, TV shows, photographs or other copyrighted material through the use of P2P technology.
* Purchasing a Music CD or film DVD and then producing copies for commercial purpose.

To avoid unlawful activities involving P2P file sharing, one must know that movie files and music can be obtained legally through online subscription services and from certain websites that have been authorized by copyright holders to dispense and share multimedia files legally. Most of these sites ask for payment for each music or movie file download. One of these sites are the popular Apple iTunes Music Store, NetFlix and eMusic.

Peer-to-peer sharing is also now offered in social networking sites and mobile sites. Members of social networking sites and mobile sites can share their personal images, videos and documents to other users making peer-to-peer file sharing a convenient way to share and disseminate information to people all over the globe and as a result creating a tightly connected global community.

Filed under: Uncategorized — louella @ 9:13 pm

The Mobile Internet pertains to the access to the World Wide Web using a mobile device like mobile phones, personal digital assistant or PDAs, and other portable gadgets connected to a public network minus the need for a desktop computer or a fixed landline connection.

It was first deemed that the internet shall be the only digital platform having billions and billions of users since its introduction in the early 1990s. However, times are fast changing. According to Tomi Ahonen, New Media Consultant, in 2007, approximately 67% of the 1.3 billion internet subscribers use the mobile phone to access the internet while only 37% use their Personal Computers to do so. The Mobile Internet is fast conquering internet technology.

But what brought about this revolutionary change in internet technology? The emergence of smartphones contributes to this change with the durability of handsets over PCs as one of the obvious factors. Ahonen noted that PCs are replaced every 3.5 years while handsets are replaced every 18 months. Cellphones are also relatively cheaper than most laptops and PCs and the former, being able to fit in anyone’s pocket, is sufficient for travels. For sure, the Mobile Internet’s popularity will grow fast over the next decade.

The Mobile Internet is destined to evolve to a more effective media than Internet because the money is there. Cell phones are equipped with micropayment billing, making internet banking and payment easier with its innovation.
Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google once quoted “Mobile Phones are cheaper than PCs, there are three times more of them, growing at twice the speed, and they increasingly have internet access. Mobile is going to be the next internet phenomenon.” With this said, Mobile Internet is definitely the next great medium of the 21st century.
