The GSMA unveiled the European Mobile Manifesto with the idea to set out how the mobile industry will/could help achieve key European Union objectives to boost economic performance, improve efficiencies, protect consumers and increase the use of green technology.
Through the Mobile Manifesto, the mobile industry outlines its goals to:
- Increase internet connectivity and make mobile broadband access widely available
- Engage consumers and improve efficiency by enabling the “mobilisation” of commercial and public services (eCommerce, eLearning, eHealth and eGovernment)
- Reduce Europe’s carbon footprint through M2M technologies
- Provide mobile privacy tools to maintain consumer trust
The Manifesto outlines specific, detailed goals from the industry and highlights Europe’s existing strength in mobile and estimates the economic, social and environmental benefits of these goals. You can download it from a dedicate page at GSM World’s website.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
