effort required for many mobile applications.”

Conclusions
• The substantial opportunities in the B2C space won’t come to us – we have to go and make them happen;
• Funding is available, locally through “white knight” investors and more globally in Silicon Valley;
• As an industry we largely missed the opportunities that the advent of GPS created;
• Let’s not miss them this time!
