Forms of Communication
Kids now prefer to communicate through Social Networking sites like Facebook and Myspace. Only after they have become familiar with another person through these methods and maybe even meeting them in RL will they begin Texting with them. Texting can either be via IM or SMS/MMS. It is then a big deal for the person to then go to a voice call with another person. This is typically reserved only for family, best friends or boy/girl friends.
So in the new generation of communications, how does a carrier fit into this formula? How does it tie the social networks, texting, and voice communications together in a seamless mix? How do we integrate all forms of communications into multiple devices?
Mobility:
First off it is typically the Carriers that own the mobile networks as well as the handsets that work on those networks. So, even though the carriers may not own all the server side of the communications network it can still integrate these forms of communication by enabling the mobile handsets to easily work with Social Networking sites as well as texting and voice calling.
