The consensus is that customers need a "killer ecosystem" and not a "killer app" or combination of applications to help build Mobile Web 2.0 applications and services. IP over cellular, WiFi, WiMax, DVB-H, DMB, and other open standards would allow for the advancement of applications beyond what some on the panel suggested was at Internet 1.0 capabilities. Read more
