Beyond the current global economic market downturn, there is a shining light of opportunity at the end of the tunnel – and it’s not a train. It’s a lightning rod of opportunity charged by mass market adoption of the mobile Internet. Look around locally in Canada as well as world wide – the penetration of mobile Internet enabled handsets and services is escalating everyday. And, mass market consumers are not just using millions of iPhones, BlackBerrys and Nokia or Android smartphones – they are using BILLIONS of mobile devices untethered by mobile networks, using BILLIONS of services monthly. Both local and global mobile data service consumption is exponentially growing as are the wealth of new business venture opportunities to service the mass market adoption of made-for-mobile web, apps, marketing and commerce. Best of all, there is an amazing untapped opportunity for Toronto-based companies to lead the charge in securing high-growth business both locally and globally. First we had Nortel, right now we have RIM in Waterloo. Who will be our next global mobile powerhouse? And can we start them up from Toronto?
