Big News - Integration of the leading Internet Community Services and Vodafone goes India

"Part of our future planning is also to think about where the future of the market goes - Core IT consumed a lot of Compute Cycles in the past, but grows somewhat along the lines of GDP - not enough as Compute Power grows exponentially (related to Moores Law still) - Lucky for us that Bandwidth to the end user grows even faster and enables a range of great new Services - say Google Earth, MySpace, YouTube - and great online games like World of Warcraft (WARNING: Extremly addictive, use with care).

No coincidence then that Vodafone just announced an exclusive MySpace on the Mobile partnership as well as eBay on the Mobile"

Sometimes I get right on - Vodafone also announced a YouTube partnership and Google Search and Google Maps (well I was one off there, I would have preferred Google Earth but we will get there), and Yahoo Instant Messaging.

I guess that makes it a good list of the cool, social networking communities.

Vodafone also got themselves access to a huge population to use these on the mobile - buying Hutch Essar in India, the Future Vodafone India (they had only a minority stake in Bharti there before). How about a couple of hundret million customers to these services on mobile devices?
