Tim Cook Went To China To Discuss Secret “Matters Of Cooperation” With China Mobile

Tim Cook at WWDC
BEIJING/SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Apple Inc CEO Tim Cook on Tuesday met with the head of China Mobile Ltd, the world’s largest mobile carrier by subscribers and the only Chinese carrier that doesn’t offer iPhones and iPads.

The meeting with China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua in Beijing was to discuss matters of cooperation, the Chinese firm told Reuters in an emailed statement. It gave no further details.

The talks could pave the way for a long-awaited deal for China Mobile to distribute Apple products on its vast network, benefiting both companies.

Cook’s meeting with China Mobile follows a 43 percent slump in Apple’s April-June sales in Greater China, which includes Taiwan and Hong Kong, as the technology gap with cheaper local rivals narrows.

Any deal between China Mobile and Apple, combined with the Chinese government issuing 4G licenses later this year, could turn around both companies’ fortunes with wider product distribution and faster Internet speeds attracting new smartphone adopters.

China Mobile has seen its profit pressured by a low adoption of 3G as mobile users shift away from SMS messaging to data-reliant apps such as Tencent Holdings’ WeChat, which now has more than 300 million users in China.

Fewer than a fifth of China Mobile’s customers have adopted 3G, lagging rivals China Unicom’s 38 percent and China Telecom Corp’s 50 percent, according to data from the three carriers.

Analysts say China Mobile would attract higher-end 3G users if it strikes a deal to carry Apple’s iPhone even though China Mobile’s homegrown 3G technology – TD-SCDMA – is inferior to that offered by China Unicom and China Telecom, which is based on international 3G standards.

Cook also met with top executives from China Telecom, another large telecom provider, when he visited Beijing earlier this week, China Telecom said.

Cook had a meeting with China Telecom President Yang Jie and talked about cooperation on future products, but stopped short of giving any details of the next version of the iPhone, said a source at the company, who declined to be identified because the person was not authorized to speak to the media.

China Unicom declined comment. An Apple spokesman confirmed that Cook was in China for business meetings, noting that Greater China was Apple’s second largest market. He declined to provide any details.

Greater China is an important market for Apple as it accounted for 13 percent of Apple’s quarterly sales, or $ 5 billion, though it is down from nearly 19 percent in January-March.

Morgan Stanley estimates China’s mobile Internet market could more than treble to around $ 30 billion by 2015, driven by a surge in demand for mobile gaming, advertising, and e-commerce.

Currently, 78.5 percent of Chinese Internet users access the Net through their mobile phones, according to data from the China Internet Network Information Centre. The total number of mobile netizens reached 464 million by the end of June, up 10 percent from the end of 2012.

Cook’s visit also follows accusations in a China Labor Watch (CLW) report this week that Pegatron Corp, a Taiwanese firm that assembles iPads and iPhones in China, violates workers’ rights in China.

Apple shares ended down 79 cents at $ 452.53 on Nasdaq on Wednesday.

A Table Of Contents for MBA Mondays

For the past few years, I’ve been using a third party service called Pandamian to power a table of contents for MBA Mondays. They’ve been awesome to work with but the honest truth is I would prefer to have this thing run natively on AVC and point to MBA Mondays posts on AVC.

What I want is something that I expect others might want as well. I want a cloud based solution that crawls my blog regularly and looks for posts that are tagged MBA Mondays (and tagged other things) and then generates the front end code  to render a real-time table of contents on my blog that links to the actual posts on my blog.

The main reason I want this is to power the table of contents for MBA Mondays, but it would also be awesome to power a table of contents for a bunch of other categories on AVC. These table of contents pages would be great to put behind the “topics” links on the AVC Archives page.

I suspect the answer is that there are a number of WordPress plugins that do this but nothing for folks like me who are on Typepad. Which is yet another reason to consider switching to WordPress. But I really don’t have time in my life for yet another project right now.

So if anyone has any good ideas how I can get a tool to power this table of contents for MBA Mondays, I am all ears.

PC Obsolescence In Action: Users Who Own Smartphones And Tablets Are Dropping Their PC Usage In The UK

old computers

We have seen much market analysis pointing to pressure on PC sales with the rise of smaller and less expensive Internet-friendly devices like smartphones and tablets. Today, UK communications regulator Ofcom published some figures in its 2013 Communications Market Report that point to how that is playing out in terms of usage. When consumers are active users of smartphones (now at 51% penetration in the UK) and tablets (now double the penetration of 2012 at 24%), those consumers are swaying away from using laptop and desktop PCs as their primary internet devices. In fact, when consumers own and use both, internet usage on them outweighs PC usage completely. The numbers are a testament to why PC sales overall are in decline: people are finding that they are just fine without them.

As you can see in the table here, Ofcom found that when consumers own smartphones and tablets but don’t use the tablets much themselves, they are much more likely to use PCs to connect to the Internet: 64% of users opted for the latter, compared to 23% for their handsets and 10% for tablets. The same goes for those who may own both but don’t identify themselves as much of users of either: here, PCs account for 78% of all internet usage (61% on laptops and 17% on desktops). Overall, across all internet users in the UK, PCs are the most popular device, accounting for 74% of all internet usage.

However, it’s clear that for those who are actively using tablets, these are acting as PC replacements. Those who identify mostly with their tablet devices are nearly at parity with PCs: 48% say they use their wireless handhelds instead of PCs at 49%. But those identifying with both — “with a smartphone and who personally use a tablet” — tip the balance: 50% are using these two for their primary internet device, just edging out PCs at 49%.

It’s also telling that we are very much moving towards smaller devices overall, with laptops more popular than desktop machines every category. (It appears that Ofcom didn’t bother to canvas opinion from people who own or identify only with desktop machines.)

Overall, Ofcom’s report (a 436-page tome) makes for a compelling case for the effect that tablets, as well as smartphones, are having in general across the media landscape.

Looking at metrics like “media stacking” (conducting unrelated media tasks while watching TV) or “media meshing” (interacting or communicating about the TV content they are viewing), consumers who are tablet users are working out to be the most avid multi-taskers in almost every single category (music and social networking being the only two standouts, and in both cases by just a percentage point). The other major social phenomenon driven by digital devices is ‘media stacking’. Overall, Ofcome notes that half (49%) of people weekly use their smartphones and tablets for completely unrelated activities like internet browsing (36%), social networking (22%) and online shopping (16%).

Still, while we continue to to see rapid growth among users of more portable devices, figures also seem to speak to how we will likely be looking at a multiple-device world for some time to come.

In fact, sometimes the presence of the multiple devices is actually leading to more usage of legacy products. For example, at the same time that Ofcom notes the influence of tablets on multitasking in TV consumption, it also points out that in fact the proportion of people watching the “main” TV in the house has actually gone up, to 91% compared to 87% in 2012. Part of this has to do with advances in those legacy products, Ofcom believes.

“Our research shows that increasingly families are gathering in the living room to watch TV just as they were in the 1950s — but now delivered on bigger, wider and more sophisticated sets,” writes James Thickett, Ofcom’s director of research. “Unlike the 1950s family, however, they are also doing their own thing. They are tweeting about a TV show, surfing the net or watching different content altogether on a tablet. Just a few years ago, we would be talking about last night’s TV at work or at school. Now, we’re having those conversations live while watching TV – using social media, text and instant messaging.”

The true test of how conducive tablets are to more usage may only come at a time when these are the primary device we have for interacting, and we’re past the phase of early adopter=most enthusiastic users.

The SEC Is Examining How IBM Reports Cloud Revenue

IBM CEO Ginny Rometty

IBM revealed today that in May the SEC launched an investigation into how IBM reports its cloud revenue.

This information was revealed in IBM’s quarterly earnings report filed with the SEC.

A company spokesperson told Business Insider:

“IBM’s reporting of cloud revenue is the result of a rigorous and disciplined process, and we are confident that the information we have provided has been consistently accurate.”

Cloud computing is one of the major areas that IBM is counting for big growth. Still, IBM has, so far, not really reported cloud computing revenues outright, instead bundling them into its Global Technology Services unit.

However, IBM has revealed some numbers as part of some big promises made to investors.

When IBM bought cloud computing company SoftLayer for about $ 2 billion June, (reportedly outbidding rival EMC to do so), IBM said it planned to nab at least $ 7 billion in cloud computing revenue by 2015 and $ 3 billion of that growth will be “incremental,” the spokesperson told us. 

That should mean that cloud computing revenues are at about $ 4 billion right now.

SoftLayer would likely only account for a small portion of that growth. It raked in an estimated $ 400 million in revenue in 2012.

IBM also created a new Cloud Services division at that time, just after it learned of the SEC investigation. The new division includes SoftLayer and IBM’s home-grown cloud computing business, SmartCloud. So, it remains to be seen if IBM will break out the new unit’s revenues.

The other potential issue is one that all large IT companies are facing: when IBM can recognize cloud revenue. On a cloud computing contract, companies are supposed to recognize revenue when the customer pays for the service, not when the customer signs the contract.

As companies like IBM shift from sales of software licenses and equipment to pay-as-you-go cloud computing services, the reporting of revenue can be problematic. It can look like a company is losing revenue when it is really stretching out the recognition across a longer period of time.

Because of that, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the SEC investigating how other tech companies report cloud revenue.

Internet-Based Psychotherapy Actually Works

therapy1

Lying on your therapist’s couch might be a thing of the past.

Why bother, when you could duke it out with your depression by the pool?

Online-based therapy could help patients overcome barriers to treatment like long distances to clinics, long waiting times or the fear of stigma associated with seeking treatment for depression.

And new research shows it can be just as useful to reduce depression as in-person treatments.

A study from the University of Zurich in Switzerland and the University of Leipzig in Germany published in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that internet-based psychotherapy could be just as beneficial as therapy of the traditional lying-on-the-couch variety. In the longer term, it could even be more effective.

According to the researchers, this is the first randomized controlled trial for online depression treatment to use equivalent therapy methods and treatment lengths. Previous studies have explored how different methods of Internet-based treatment can affect depression, and online therapy as a treatment for other conditions like PTSD and panic disorder.

A total of 62 patients with depression received cognitive-behavioral therapy over an 8-week trial period. Half received an hour of face-to-face time with a therapist once a week with some take-home assignments like logs of their negative thoughts, while the other half received an Internet-based intervention that consisted of writing assignments and subsequent written feedback from a therapist (without any video chat-type interaction). Almost all of the six therapists involved in the study treated both the online and in-person conditions (one did not).

The study found no significant differences in the therapy outcomes between the face-to-face and online groups, and both groups were pretty much equally satisfied with the treatment they received. Depression was no longer diagnosable in 50 percent of the face-to-face patients after treatment, compared to 53 percent of online patients.

After three months, a follow-up showed that the effects of online treatment may even last longer. Patients who received internet-based therapy continued to improve, with 57 percent no longer diagnosed with depression, compared to 42 percent of the conventional group.

Patients who received face-to-face treatment worsened after leaving therapy, re-exhibiting depressive symptoms, while those who had online treatment were more likely to maintain the reduction in symptoms associated with the treatment. The researchers suggest this could be because the internet-based intervention puts more focus on self-responsibility. “This might evoke a stronger, longer-lasting sense of self-efficacy in handling negative thoughts and depressive behavior,” they write.

However, the anonymity that could draw people to online therapy could also become problematic. More participants in the online group dropped out of therapy compared to those in the face-to-face group, seven to two. The researchers write that the anonymity of an online therapeutic relationship may make it easier for patients to drop out and simply disappear into the nether regions of the ‘net, just like that great girl you met on OkCupid who just stopped responding.

Pet Humanization and the Quantified Dog

An alert reader sent me to the article Market Trends Show the Power of Pet Humanization. It's from the research folks at Packaged Facts. They do studies on consumer markets, including pet spending.

They recently released their 2013 – 2014 U.S. Pet Market Outlook.  According to the report, the U.S. pet market will reach $ 62 billion in 2013, up 4.7% over 2012. Dogs garner the most spending, with about 2/3rds of all pet spending going to the dogs.

Medical and food spending are the biggest segments. But other pet products and services – which includes grooming, boarding, training, and pet sitting/walking services, etc. – is a large segment and growing faster than the overall market. It's forecast to be up 6% over 2012.

90% of the spending in the non-food/non medical segment is dog related.  

Given how pets – and dogs in particular – are increasingly treated as humans, it's no surprise that the quantified self movement has moved to dogs.  

For those not familiar with the quantified self trend, it's the use of tools and gadgets to self-track and analyze data on your health and life. A good example is Nike Fuel, a wristband device that tracks your movement and estimates calories burned.  

Whistle is an example of a quantified dog product. It provides pretty much the same functionality Nike Fuel, except it's for your dog. It's the on-collar device the dog in the picture below is wearing.  

  Quantified dog

Whistle tracks a dog's activity and health, relaying data to owners via a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. The dog owner can use this data to collect and analyze their dog's daily activities, set exercise goals and track this data over time.  

I admit I've been known from time to time to make fun of people who treat their pet as humans.

But pet humanization is an important and powerful cultural trend. Not only are aging baby boomers increasingly turning to their pets for companionship, but declines in birth rates and family formation is leading more people of all ages to use pets as family substitutes.

There's little doubt the pet humanization trend will continue to gain strength and pet spending will grow at a faster pace than the overall economy.

O2 Becomes Second UK Operator To Turn On LTE; Will Go Live August 29, Starting At £26/Month

Screen Shot 2013-08-01 at 08.18.06

Looks like the honeymoon period for EE and LTE in the UK is over. This morning, Telefonica’s O2 announced that it would turn on its LTE network on August 29, becoming the second operator to go 4G in the country. Initial cities will be London, Leeds and Bradford, with 10 more cities to come by the end of the year. The first move at the end of this month will cover 5 million people.

The end of the honeymoon also signifies the beginning of the price wars. Initial tariffs will start at £26 per month.

The news comes a day after Ofcom cleared the use of spectrum for 4G services, and it looks like O2 made a point of acting fast. “It’s great that I am able to announce O2 4G the day after the spectrum has been cleared for use,” noted Ronan Dunne, CEO of Telefónica UK, in a statement. “Digital connectivity will be made ubiquitous by 4G and become the oxygen of modern life. It is our intention to use 4G to inspire the nation through the possibilities of technology, encouraging people to live more, do more and be more with O2.”

More to come. Release below.

O2’s 4G network to switch on from 29th August
· O2 outlines plans for its 4G launch and fastest growing UK 4G network
· Network to switch on in London, Leeds and Bradford with ten additional cities to follow by
· the end of the year
· Plans to reach 98% UK population indoor with 2G, 3G and 4G
· 4G on O2 will be available to all new and existing customers on a range of tariffs from £26
· a month
· Multi award-winning act to headline at the O2 4G London Launch Gig

01 August 2013 – O2 today sets out its plans for its 4G network launch later this month, which will make it the fastest growing 4G network in the UK. The superfast 4G network will be switched on in
London, Leeds and Bradford on 29th August, reaching up to five million people from launch. O2’s ambitious rollout plan aims to make 4G available to an additional two million people per month, culminating in O2’s 2G, 3G and 4G network reaching 98% of the UK population both indoor and outdoor.

By the end of the year, O2’s 4G network will be live in 13 cities. Further detail relating to the specific switch-on dates will be announced over the coming weeks.

London | Leeds | Bradford | Birmingham | Newcastle | Glasgow | Liverpool |
Nottingham | Leicester | Coventry | Sheffield | Manchester | Edinburgh

To allow as many people as possible to experience and enjoy the benefits of 4G, O2 is launching a range of tariffs starting at £26 a monthi, which come complete with a 30 day Happiness Guaranteeii for customers who sign up direct from O2. Business customers will also be offered tariffs for tablets and mobile broadband from launch and Mobile Wifi (Pop Up Office) in the coming weeks.

4G networks will provide faster data speeds (up to 5 times faster than 3Giii) and a more seamless mobile experience, marking a new generation for the mobile industry. O2 has invested £550m to secure one of the highest proportions of the UK’s lowest frequency spectrum (800Mhz), which was released to O2 at the end of May and was fully cleared by Ofcom this week. This frequency reaches further than any other, delivering the best indoor penetration and outdoor reach.

Data usage on the O2 network has more than doubled in the last twelve months, demonstrating the ever growing appetite for mobile data services. 4G will complement O2’s current network offering, which includes 9,000 free O2 Wifi hotspots and the more recently launched TUGo, which uniquely allows O2’s consumer customers to make calls over wifi and use their tablet or laptop to make and receive calls and texts.

From today, O2 is introducing a new in-store and social media campaign encouraging everyone to be ‘#O24G’ Ready, inviting people to get their 4G-ready handset and free 4G SIM now, either in an O2 store or via an O2 business account manager.

O2 plans to go beyond what has already been offered in the 4G market and bring to life the digital experience for its customers, starting with 12 months free music content for those who buy a 4G consumer tariff direct from O2. Next generation office applications and services powered by 4G will enable O2 business customers to be more collaborative, more efficient and more productive.

Further details on O2’s 4G portfolio will be unveiled in the coming months.

All O2 customers will also be offered free 4G advice and guidance from an O2 Guru from launch, either in-store or via web chat, to explore the possibilities that 4G will unlock. Business customers can receive a consultation with their O2 business account manager to discuss how their organisation could benefit from 4G.

Ronan Dunne, CEO of Telefónica UK (O2) said: “It’s great that I am able to announce O2 4G the day after the spectrum has been cleared for use. Digital connectivity will be made ubiquitous by 4G and become the oxygen of modern life. It is our intention to use 4G to inspire the nation through the possibilities of technology, encouraging people to live more, do more and be more with O2.

“The full potential of 4G is as yet unexplored, but what we can be sure of is that it will allow for a whole new world of opportunity that people are now ready for. Over half of our customers say they use more data than two years ago and even more use wifi wherever they go, to always stay connected. Given this trend, there is no doubt that 4G will transform our lives, be it as consumers, in business or through public sector services.”

eBay recently commissioned research into the value of 4G for UK retailers. Olivier Ropars, eBay, said: “The arrival of universal 4G presents a huge opportunity for UK businesses. For retailers, it will enable delivery of a more immersive, instant and intimate shopping experience than ever before – putting the most exciting features of mobile retail into high definition. Our research shows there’s a potential £1.8bn of consumer spending up for grabs thanks to arrival of 4G. Now’s the time for businesses to take action and turn this opportunity into an exciting reality.”

To celebrate its launch, O2 is hosting a gig in London at its iconic music venue, O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. A headline artist, to be announced in the coming weeks, will perform an exclusive set, which will also be streamed live to screens and billboards across the city, as well as on O2’s social media channels. All tickets will be available from O2 Priority at http://www.o2priority.co.uk/tickets. O2 customers will have the opportunity to get their tickets 48 hours before general release.

O2 4G London Launch Gig – *Headline Act TBC*

O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire – 29th August
(O2 Priority presale 9am 21st August. General release 9am 23rd August.)

Ronan Dunne concluded: “The mass-market arrival of 4G marks a new generation for the digital age and we want to celebrate the occasion with our customers. This summer, as well as inviting people to join us at our launch gig, we will also be hosting Europe’s biggest tech festival, Campus Party at The O2, which will be powered and brought to life by 4G. We plan to cement what is a truly momentous time and encourage our nation’s collective endeavours to make Britain truly digital.”
