Never miss a show with Sky’s Mobile Remote Record service
It’s time to introduce a new columnist today — Vikki Chowney. I saw Vikki speaking at an event recently and asked if she’d consider contributing to MIR. She readily agreed — and I’m delighted that she did. We may even see her on camera (on MIR TV) soon. In her first piece, she’s looking at [...]

We’re continuing to build our Who’s Who directory. You’ll see a lot more of it in the coming weeks as we change the site around. If you’re somebody in mobile — that is, if you reckon you’re moving and shaping even just a small part of the industry, we’d like to make sure we’ve got [...]
“MIR should go camping” – what do you think?
Regular reader, Mike Stead, reckons Mobile Industry Review should ‘get out a bit more‘. I took exception to this statement on the basis that we’ve reported from six different countries in the last 3 months. But what Mike meant was we should get OUT more.

We’ve been huge, huge fans of Skydeck for a while. Yes we’ve not been able to use it (since we’ve been stuck in England) but we’ve been watching the service grow and officially launch in the States for some time now. We were delighted to be able to sit down with Jason and find out [...]
I just Re-Tweeted Sky News. When’s the story go up? ;-)
The always-connected AndrewGrill caught news that there’s apparently been an Earthquake in Melbourne, Australia. 5.1 apparently. A few other people came through my Twitter with similar news.
