ChinaTechNews reports that China Mobile will set up an innovation lab. The project is a joint endeavor with Softbank and Vodafone.
The joint innovation lab will serve as a platform for the parties to develop mobile services and drive innovation and synergy in the industry to the benefit of their combined global customer base, and it will also launch projects based on emerging technologies and market demand.
The Lab reportedly will focus on pushing the development of new mobile technology, application and services such as mobile widgets. In the initial stage, it plans to develop a platform for mobile widgets to encourage the development of innovative new services that can leverage mobile operators’ unique capabilities.
The mobile telecom is really on a roll these days, and I’m guessing that there’ll be more innovation efforts in this industry in the future.
