Title Mobile World Congress 2013 Report Author Abstract KOBAYASHI, Masakazu (Research Fellow, KDDI Research Institute) The annual Mobile World Congress (MWC), the world s largest exhibition/conference of mobile technologies and products, was, as always, held in Barcelona, Spain in late February. In 2013 a record crowd of more than 72,000 people descended upon the Fira Gran Via, the new venue for the event. The highlight product for this year was the Firefox OS from Mozilla Foundation, which is expected to become the so-called third mobile OS, following Google's Android and ios from Apple. Some 20 mobile operators world-wide, including KDDI, announced their support for the Firefox OS during the period of the event. Another notable trend this year was low-end smartphones such as the Lumia 520 exhibited by Nokia. Consumers in emerging markets such as Central and South America, Africa and China want inexpensive smartphones, and this is encouraging mobile-operators and device manufacturers throughout the world to begin focusing on the development of low-and-middle priced smartphones, and the evidence of their efforts was on display at this year's event. The IT systems for automobiles, or so-called telematics, also drew high hopes. The main auto manufacturers in the US, such as General Motors, and manufacturers in Europe and Korea showed and demonstrated next-generation telematics based on LTE and HTML5. NFC (Near Field Communication), the next generation s short-range wireless technology, also featured prominently this year. 'Isis', for example, which is a collaborative mobile payment project from major U.S. mobile operators such as AT&T and Verizon, were demonstrating their services at the venue. Similar projects by major credit brands, namely MasterCard and Visa, also demonstrated their mobile payment system, for example someone buying a bottle of water from a vending machine using a smartphone incorporating NFC.
