Mobile Gas Price Alerts

"In partnership with GasPriceWatch.com, Bonus Mobile will be offering up to date gas price information on over 100,000 stations nationwide. Local price information can be sent automatically to any cell phone subscriber in the United States, according to a company press release.

'The mobile phone will change the way gas will be sold in this country' said Brad Procter, Founder of GasPriceWatch.com. Mobile Gas Price Alerts will end the guessing game of knowing the best price for gasoline in your town', according to William Volk, CTO/Business Development of BonusMobile." [textually.org]

Nice! At work, Kate had the brilliant idea to add the GasPriceWatch alerts to our intranet.  :-)

MP3-ringtone converter


MP3-ringtone converter 05/23/2004 06:25 AM
There's a new app that will convert your MP3 to ringtones and the music industry is freaking out (despite the fact that phones like the P800, which can play an MP3 without any conversion as a ringtone, have been around for at least a year)
``It's problematic, because it has the potential to eviscerate the business model early in its development,'' said Ted Cohen, EMI Music's senior vice president of digital development and distribution.

The Ringtone Label?


The Ringtone Label? 12/24/2004 12:18 PM
With the rise of ringtones, it seems that some have really taken the idea and tried to run with it. So far, certainly, ringtones have done well for some companies, but it's still not clear if it's a sustainable market, or a faddish one. There's also the fact that the industry continues to deny that file sharing of ringtones could ever be a risk -- which suggests they're only asking for serious trouble down the road. Still, the latest move is that one company has set up a record label just for ringtones. Because, already, musicians have separate labels for CDs and videos and digital downloads and... wait a second... no they don't. Most musicians basically sign deals with a single recording label to handle all of their musical endeavors, so it seems sort of strange to have an entirely separate label for ringtones only. For recording labels that don't already include this in their standard contracts, they will soon -- and then this new "label" will be out of luck. Of course, the reality is that it's just a way for this company to get a little extra publicity for these "unique" ringtones. Considering that part of the reason ringtones are so popular, though, is that people recognize the songs they represent, it makes you wonder if people really are that interested in songs that are designed just to be ringtones. Seems sort of like a niche market within a niche market.

Ringtone Hype


Ringtone Hype 12/11/2003 01:13 PM
I've written before about the wireless carriers' current obsession with ringtones. It appears to be a booming business, to the point that others are muscling in on the carrier's turf by offering "non-authorized" ringtones or even the ability to make your own ringtones (for a fee, of course). While it may be good money in the short run, I still don't see how it's sustainable. As mobile phone platforms are increasingly open and standardized, ringtones will go through the same Napsterization process, where many will be available for free. Meanwhile, I still don't understand what's wrong with the good, old-fashioned vibrate mode that doesn't bother anyone around you. However, the article does mention the growing popularity of the silent ringtone that we wrote about last week. Apparently, it costs $2. Incredible. We've reached the point where people are willing to pay to have their mobile phone not ring. Maybe the next step is letting people pay to have someone else's mobile phone not ring. "My goodness is your ringtone annoying. Here's $2. Go buy yourself a silent ringtone."

Recording Industry's Next Trick?
Killing Ringtone Sales


Recording Industry's Next Trick?
Killing Ringtone Sales
05/25/2004 02:49 PM
It's like watching a bad movie over and over again, each time a somewhat promising market starts to open up for the recording industry, they all do their best to kill it. Earlier today we saw how they're looking to kill the promising market for immed iate live recordings of concerts, but now it looks like they may be killing off ringtones. For the last year or so, ringtones have been the surprising revenue generator for both mobile phone carriers and the recording industry, and despite plenty of warning and predictions that this market couldn't last, the recording industry isn't known for their ability to understand how technology changes will impact their business over time. Already we've seen applications like Xingtone take the industry by surprise by daring to let users make ringtones out of music they've legally purchased - and it won't be long until ringtones are easily downloadable directly to mobile phones via a Napster-like application (if it doesn't exist already). Still, the music industry sees money, and are increasing the royalty rates they charge for ringtones, making them more expensive. In fact, ringtones that are mere snippets of songs cost much more than actually downloading the full song from any of the various download music stores out there. Of course, all this will really do is drive more people to investigate alternatives like Xingtone, and make the "market" for selling ringtones disappear quite quickly. This was going to happen eventually no matter what, so maybe, by raising prices, the industry is just speeding up the process.

Hotlink from Maxis Communications Berhad today unveiled Caller Ringtones, the industry’s first ‘ringback’ service that is set to capture a bigger slice of the thriving ringtone business. Caller Ringtones replaces the standard connecting tone callers conventionally hear on the phone with music and sound effects while they wait for their call to the Hotlink customer to be connected. With this service, callers can now be entertained as how call recipients have been kept amused via ringtones before the call gets picked up. The service, not unlike ringtones, is built on consumers’ increasing appetite for mobile personalisation and communication. [PRWEB Jul 23, 2004]

I missed this until I came across it a Susan Crawford's site, but apparently Google is starting up an Internet phone service. The TimesOnline article bases this on an employment ad looking for a “strategic negotiator” to help the company to provide a “global backbone network.” So, if Microsoft is trying to expand by getting Windows into our living rooms, perhaps Google is trying to get itself inserted wherever there's a telephone...including wifi phones, if bastards like Verizon let up their headlock on state legislatures.
