DCSB: David Birch; European Wireless E-Commerce

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- [The Harvard Club is now "business casual". No more jackets and ties, but see below for details. While it lasts, anyway. Since last year's dot-bomb, the suit-ratio in the main dining room has been asymptotically approaching unity. :-). --RAH] The Digital Commerce Society of Boston Presents David G.W. Birch, Director, Consult Hyperion "M-Commerce and Wireless E-Commerce: A European Perspective" Tuesday, August 7th, 2001 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA Getting from the general view that m-commerce will be huge to the specifics of which business models will come to dominate the sector is difficult. First, no one knows anything about mobile data and so we have little to go on to make predictions. Second, the speed and unpredictability of technological evolution make it hard to stabilise the platform for services (especially when comparing North American wireless e-commerce with European m-commerce efforts). Third, there are legal, political and social issues yet to be resolved. Yet there have been some successes, and it is worth looking at them to try and understand the dynamics behind them. What are the real lessons to be learned from Japan's iMode? Why is business moving in on the text messaging boom? Is good old e-mail turning out to be the "killer app"? To what extent does the SIM shape the future? Does the French micropayments launch change anything? Do Australian Coca-Cola machines provide a window on the future or a diversion? Who will benefit most from E911 and the introduction of location-based services (my tip: lawyers). This presentation attempts an overview of these issues, against the backdrop of the 3G transition, and combines it with experience gained advising leaders in the m-commerce field to try and make some sensible predictions about the direction of the m-commerce sector. David G.W. Birch is a Director of Consult Hyperion, one of the UK's leading e-commerce consultancies, which he helped found after several years working as a consultant in Europe, the Far East and North America. Their clients -- ranging from Mastercard and Microsoft to Orange and NTT Data -- are working at the leading edge of commerce on line. A physicist by training, Dave has lectured on the impact of new communications technologies to MBA level. He has been on the editorial board of the Financial Times Virtual Finance Report and Microsoft's Finance on Windows, as well as the editorial advisory board for European Business Review. He chaired the Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation's first working group on the Internet and Retail Banking and is the moderator of First Tuesday's Wireless Wednesday resource for mobile entrepreneurs. He has written for publications ranging from The Guardian to the Parliamentary IT Review and is a media commentator on electronic commerce issues. He is the author, with payment systems consultant Mike Hendry, of last year's Informa report "Retail & Consumer Payments in Europe and North America". This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, August 7th, 2001, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $37.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, A/V hardware if necessary, and the speakers' lunch. The Harvard Club has relaxed its dress code, which is now "business casual", meaning no sneakers or jeans. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your meal if the Club finds you in violation of what's left of its dress code. We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, August 4th, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $37.50. Please include your e-mail address so that we can send you a confirmation If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (we've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out. Upcoming speakers for DCSB are: September Arnold Reinhold Product "Q"; Crypto Market Failures October Jean Camp Trust and Risk in Digital Commerce As you can see, :-), we are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston on the first Tuesday of the month, are a principal in digital commerce, and would like to make a presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program Committee, care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto: rah(a)shipwright.com>.

Re: freq meter vs. spectrum analyzer for sweeping
by A. Melon 11 Jul '01

11 Jul '01

Thanks a lot -- that's a great help. And no, we weren't looking for rf from the infinity tranmitter, I knew they run on the phone line, but we were looking for other bugs. And I'm also aware of the great number of telemarketer autodialers (used to have one myself with a hardwired voice mailbox but didn't use it for telemarketing), but it was the timing of these cals that aroused our suspicions. That and the really frequent phone company truck. Good to know about the possible out of the building, we'll have to start checking that out.
