Following the Irish at the Mobile World Congress
Us Irish, we’re obsessed with mobile phones. Mobile phone penetration is now estimated at 114% (including all those phones behind radiators or in the couches). Our mobile spend is way ahead of the rest of Europe. So, it’s not surprising to see Irish companies flying the flag over in Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress conference. The MWC is the ideal spot for companies to pimp their new gizmos to industry and whet the appetites of gadget zombies.
The Irish contingent include Cubic Telecom, Segala, Mobinode, Relevant M and Ubcam. With the advent of Qik, there’s bound to be lots of live video-blogging streaming live from Barcelona. Qik kings Pat Phelan and Paul Walsh will be behind it, methinks. Why not tune into their streams and get a hand-on-the-pulse report on the conference?
