Internet Business 2006
With the start of a new year, many people have their pledge ready and the will to satisfy it. For a young (birthday 10th of January 2005) and growing internet site like us, it is important to keep an eye on the developments in our arena: Digital goods and the distribution of these.
I wrote about micropayments, storage solutions and search engine compliance in the past. For the coming year, the big thing is the convergence of features and your real life, your all day needs.
The extremly fast growing availability of internet uplinks everywhere (WiFi, DSL, Cable, PowerGrid, UMTS) lets you connect easier. But do you just want to check emails or do you want to do more, while on the road? Do you really want to watch TV on your UMTS mobile? Do you chat via ICQ while sitting in a Cafe downtown San Francisco?
The availability and ease of usage of digital data on a wild mix of devices like mobiles, laptops or TVs will be the tasks of the coming 24 months, not just the next year.
The mobile playstation or an advanced iPod are still kind of proprietary. In the end, the availability of all kind of data on all kinds of devices will be the market. The coming year will put some marks on the map and the direction will unveil!
