The other day I was on a taxi in Seoul (Korea) with my boss.
We were discussing about something else but suddenly he looked at me and said: "There are going to be big business opportunities in China when 3G licenses are granted"
Well, this everybody knows. My boss was thinking of corporate opportunities. But was thinking of entrepreneurship in the web 2.0 sector for mobile in China.
The leading Chinese ISP China.com, announced last year in november that it will invest up to US$20 million in local firms to develop a range of "Web 2.0" applications including online video, social networking, blogs, 3G and broadband content and mobile search.
Apparently China.com will select small to medium size developers with the "technological skill, innovative vision and deep understanding of what drives the Chinese Internet community". As I said in my previous post, understanding China is a must for being successful in China.
With about 140 million PC Internet users and 450 million mobile subscribers, I wonder whether the mobile device will become one day the primary means for accessing the Web in China. After 3G licenses are allocated we will start to know little by little about this
