WSA goes mobile
Article from 29.6.2010
New times bring new challenges. It is a well known fact that today, in terms of access, mobile usage has outgrown Internet usage by threefold with more than 4.4 billion connections registered around the world to date. Mobile phones are becoming smarter, while touch screens are revolutionizing what can be done with them. They are undoubtedly becoming more intimate and most used by all age groups across their life span. We can do more and more in using mobile phones with many essential tasks becoming unthinkable without them. We have simply entered the age of mobile applications and mobile content.
The World Summit Award’s response to this rapid development is the WSA Mobile – a new award launched in June 2010 with support of the Abu Dhabi Systems & Information Centre (ADSIC), and decided explicitly to selecting and promoting the world’s best in mobile content. The contest is planned to be held every two years, with the first Winners’ Gala to be held in Abu Dhabi in December 2010 in cooperation and along with the UN DESA GAID Global Form.
With great support of Abu-Dhabi as the main partner and its global network, the World Summit Award will use its 10 years experience and expertise to answer the main question: “What is really out there in the mobile world, which today might still be inside of a few creative minds, but can become our every day life tomorrow?”
Same as the WSA e-Content, the national selection for the WSA Mobile run through national experts in respective countries. Deadline for nominations is August 20, 2010.
