SIMPOSIUM ASIA 2009 REPORT:
120* attendees convened at the end of September (29th & 30th) in Hong Kong for the second Asia Pacific edition of SIMposium, organized by SIMalliance in partnership with Informa Telecoms & Media.
22 different operator companies representing 950 million mobile subscribers, and delegates from 20 different countries (of which 60% from Greater China) attended over the two days to debate, discuss and network with the whole mobile services eco-system.
This year’s edition was very rich in discussions with the presence of a large number of network operators (41%) including Telenor Malaysia, PT Bakrie Malaysia, Hong Kong CSL, PT Telecoms Indonesia, SK Telecom Korea, Indosat Indonesia, Dialog Telekom Sri Lanka, Grameenphone Bangladesh, Fargo Telecom Hong Kong, China Mobile, Starhub Singapore, SK Telekom, FT - Orange (France & China), Total Access Thailand, Aktel Bangladesh, DTAC Thailand, Bharti Airtel India, Idea Cellular India, Pelephone Israel, True Thailand, Telecom Italia and many handset manufacturers (9%) such as Shangai Fudan, Beijing Tongfang, China Ningbo Bird, Nokia & ZTE.
The region is very dynamic and SIMposium was an opportunity to discover many innovative SIM-based applications ie. a SIM card which detects movements or an “ATM SIM” to distribute personalized SIM cards in the street, and the first ‘flashy’ handsets from the region integrating the NFC (Near Field Communications) and SCWS (Smart Card Web Server) protocols.
ZTE introduced the great opportunities they could see for SIM-based services & solutions with the migration to LTE and animated a breakout session on the subject while Nokia presented its contactless strategy and its NFC roadmap,
OMTP and SIMalliance encouraged all the players to use existing standards to limit technological fragmentation and accelerate mass market adoption while the GSMA and SKTelecom presented the roadmap and use cases of the GSMA SmartSIM project.
