In my previous post we identified the possible top three tech giants which will drive the top three connected ecosystems and the related tribes. So lets get down to the basics and first identify what are the different components in this value chain and how these are contributing to the overall ecosystem. Furthermore, we will also map these links against the current potential ecosystem leaders and understand where these companies stand:

M2M communications offers plethora of opportunities to – right from product manufacturers to service providers to mobile network operators and to the end-users in generating significant value out of this service. M2M communication service is a game changer in a way the machines communicate directly with one another for example: over-the-air upgrades, updates, monitoring, troubleshooting, security, information extraction, tracking, etc. M2M service is possible in almost any future device in house or office which possesses the potential to access internet or a broadband connection

Continuing in the battle of providing superior User Experience with an open platform strategy, Nokia & Intel have announced a partnership to merge Nokia’s Maemo OS and Intel’s Moblin OS giving birth to the Linux based MeeGo OS. This is going to be the second major strategic move by Nokia after announcing Symbian as an open source platform. It will definitely create some disrupting competitive waves to the competitors like Google with open source Android, Apple with Mac OSX and Microsoft’s to be launched Windows Mobile 7.
