Under the Radar Conference Preview: Phonevite
Summary
Alerts are a much bigger business than you’ve probably ever thought about: $1.2 billion to notify people that school’s closed or that a hurricane’s coming. In addition, the market for voice communications such as airline flight status updates and doctor’s appointment reminders is $10.9 billion. As yet, CEO John Nahm says he’s being very patient about going after the traditional $46.1 billion telemarketing business because he wants to avoid the regulatory nightmare and the potential specter of spam. Next Wednesday, November 12, an impressive gathering of startups and mobile-industry poohbahs — everyone from major VCs from firms such as Kleiner Perkins to executives from companies such as T-Mobile, AT&T, CBS, Verizon, Alltel, Comcast, Nokia, Microsoft, and R/GA — will meet in Mountain View, California, to choose America’s Next Top Mobile Startup at Under the Radar. As a moderator, I will be previewing the event by providing snapshots of the companies whose sessions I am facilitating For more information about the conference, go here.
