GWC presentation about the GMIC 2010 conference about mobile internet in China

The GWC (the Great Wall Club) of China has published a presentation from the GMIC 2010 event in Beijing earlier this year. This presentation high-lights a number of interesting points about the differences in local consumer and business behavior that you have in China vs. USA/Europe. 


Some key points:

• Everything is focused around micro-payments
• Very little use of credit cards
• A wide variety of competing services, not like here, focus on one Facebook, one Google, one Ebay...
• Extensive use of buying virtual goods
• Profitable companies through the massive user base, 800+ million mobile phones, 400+ million internet users

On a personal note, this event was well organized thanks to Tomas Bennich from Kista Showcase and people from Invest in Sweden Agency but I have to complain about whoever manages the facilities in the Kista Science Tower, no ventilation and warm humid air does not work very well for any event, blame global warming or whatever but facilities management has to work in a business building...
