Lots of Marketing Statistics
Gary Kim has been a digital infra analyst and journalist for more than 30 years, covering the business impact of technology, pre- and post-internet. He sees a similar evolution coming with AI. General-purpose technologies do not come along very often, but when they do, they change life, economies and industries.
Geosocial Business Hinges on Mobile Devices
If you look at this graphic, mobile devices are at the center, the applications enabled by mobile devices are orbiting.That neatly illustrates the issue mobile service providers face. They are fundamental to the ecosystem, but it is the devices at the center, not so much the connectivity, though connections also are essential.
That observation also applies to direct revenue models.

Liberty Media offers $1 billion for Barnes & Noble
Liberty Media has offered $17 per share to buy all of Barnes & Noble.
The company, which operates 720 bookstores, as well as a chain of college campus stores, might seem an unlikely fit for Liberty Media, an owner of video content networks. But sometimes one has to look under rocks to find diamonds, Liberty Media seems to think.

Liberty Media might see the value in the Nook reader and the app store, as well as the potential for online commerce. In that view, the bookstores are just a way to generate cash flow, while the strategic assets are the online commerce and apps capability, plus the Nook.

Can Telcos Build a Transaction Business Out of Their Platform?
As telco executives continue to look for significant revenue opportunities, they seem to have latched onto mobile commerce, payments and transactions as a logical possible business.In fact, say analysts at Telco 2.0, seven questions can be answered by mobile network operators, and each answer can contribute to one or more revenue streams.
It also is worth noting that other application or device providers will be able to answer some, and in some cases, many of the same questions, though.
That’s why Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon and PayPal already are getting ready for their own transaction services and applications.
Still, the ability to answer questions still might prove the foundation for new transaction-based businesses. Among the key questions are:
Who are you?
Where are you?
How are you?
Do you have credit?
How can we reach you? Operators not only can reach you via their own communications services, but often can associate together multiple addresses or identifiers.
Who do you know?
Any questions?

Imagining a Whole Business as a Transaction Processing Platform
Amazon.com: the Hidden Empire
Amazon is a transaction machine. Some would argue that's what retail service providers all day long, only the transactions are call detail records. Hence the interest in mobile payments and commerce. The big issue will be ability to scale and offer very-attractive processing costs for partners. That has not typically been the case for telco billing.
