Mobile applications have become significant revenue generators for organizations ranging from technology startups to established retail and manufacturing companies. With business models as diverse as free, freemium, download, subscription, and affiliate, these applications and their associated devices have dramatically broadened the mobile user base across the globe and introduced new ways for people to purchase goods, communicate with each other, and acquire information.
Yet with these newly expanded capabilities and worldwide reach, mobile applications have challenged laws and regulations written for a previous era, and created new tensions among competing business and advocacy groups.
This conference will provide a summary of the mobile applications market, identify many of the current challenges the market faces such as patent licensing, evolving technology standards, user privacy, and mobile payment systems.
Here are valuable updates and practical tips you will not want to miss!
