The 3rd Mobile Media Summit held as part of the 20th medienforum.nrw is dedicated to the discussion of the mobile Internet. In view of the saturated market for mobile telephony services, the wireless industry is now focusing on mobile Internet services. Mobile devices are intended to integrate online services, Web 2.0, advertising, videos, and games.
