Seminar on Broadband Opportunities

Student, do not try to find me in my room at this date; 11 - 13 Nov 2008. I am at the Le Meridien hotel attending the seminar on broadband opportunities. Later lah baru saya p elaborate ya.. Need to concentrate listening to the lecture (zzzzz...)

By the way, are you the next millionaire? I am now listening to a talk by the SKMM, regarding the Networked Content Opportunities. Networked content is the next major thing in the industry. They are having this competition namely Mobile Content Challenge for IHL. Last year's winner was a group from Unimas. They received RM30K seed money to elaborate the idea and then work hand-in-hand with Maxis to further develop and put their product into market.

Potential users and customer?
We have 25 million of mobile phone subscriber in Malaysia, do u know that? And 1.5 million for broadband subscriber in 2008. Can you imagine if you are selling the In the Ayer ringtone for RM4, and if u only tap on the 1% possible customer over that 25 mil mobile phone user? Wow.. u r on your way to become the next millionaire.. u see..

The objectives of the Mobile Content Challenge are:-

1. To inspire students’ development in the area of mobility content, applications and services;
2. To encourage and inculcate an innovative and creative mindset amongst students, bridging the divide between theory & industry; and
3. To nurture a community of young entrepreneurs that are ready to embark on bold new ventures and who will develop and provide Malaysian made mobility content, application and services.

This year, the grand price is RM100K. And an opportunity working with the Maxis and Samsung to further develop your product. Next year mesti hadiah nya lagi besar, kan.

If you have the unique idea, the motivation, definitely you should take this into consideration.

The concept must be :

• Creative & appealing
• unique values proposition
• demonstrate export potential/universality

You can read more through this website, and get yourself prepared before u can join for the next year challenge. Did I mention next year? Yeah, too bad.. this year punya round sudah tutup. So, see u in next year's round ya!
