Here’s a sneak peek at my interview with Robert Scoble and gives you a glimpse of the brand new PodTech studio - still int he works.
It sure is a good thing I don’t have to make my living in front of the camera….yikes!

I was just reviewing some of the CTIA mobile stats, and the continued growth in mobile is amazing. Have a look at some of these numbers (note that I added these to the mobecom.org website as well)…
1. Wireless Subscribers as of June 2007 = 243.4 million US subscribers
2. Wireless Penetration = More than 81% of total US households
3. Monthly SMS Messages = 28.8 billion SMS messages just in June of 2007
4. Wireless-Only Households = 12.8% of US households
5. Jobs = More than 257,000 direct carrier jobs
6. Annual Wireless Carrier Payroll = More than $13 billion in direct carrier wages
7. Annualized Total Wireless Revenue = $134.7 billion, as of June, 2007
8. Annualized Wireless Data Revenue = $19.2 billion as of June, 2007
9. Minutes of Use = Customers used 1.95 Trillion minutes in first 6 months of 2007
I remember people being amazed at the SMS numbers last year, showing that SMS growth increased from roughly 6 Billion messages per month to 12.8 Billion. To see that number more than double once again is just incredible…and it’s not stopping there. Any guesses at what the number will be next year…25 Billion…30 Billion…more?

I had a great time meeting with Robert Scoble today. In case you’re not familiar with Robert, he’s a prolific blogger (online, video), author, and more…plus a really good guy. You can check out his show (the Scoble Show) on Pod Tech (www.podtech.net).
After our interview he put a post on his blog that includes a preview of their new studio…along with a quick hello from your’s truly. He shot this using his phone, then instantly uploaded it to Kyte.tv for the entire world to see. Amazing! It’s a good time to alive. You can check it out here.

This is a really interesting documentary-style video about the expansion of mobile within education in the UK. Definitely worth 25 minutes
