Wireless-Watch.Community (W-W.Com) is a project developed by Tokyo-based Mobikyo, which also publishes the Wireless Watch Japan (WWJ) media site. WWJ was established in late 2001 to cover the business of mobile in Japan, in English, for an overseas market.

W-W.Com Concept
Since we launched WWJ, the entire mobile industry has seen explosive growth and massive change in Europe, the US, Asia and here in Japan, our home market. With this evolution, mobile media — those who cover the business of wireless — has itself begun converging as 3G networks, terminals and business models leap across borders. Increasingly, it is difficult for any individual media site in any one market to effectively cover a single country or region (Japan vs. Europe), or a single sector (3G vs. WLAN).

Furthermore, many new voices have joined the discussion and it has become challenging and indeed limiting to rely on any one source to gain a full understanding of the industry.

We have thought about how this mobile media convergence is affecting what we and other publishers do, and, taking a hint from the now-famous ‘i-mode business model’ that we have covered for several years, we decided to launch this unique collaborative platform.

Our Wireless-Watch.Community concept is to combine the many talented regional mobile media experts into a global portal, a ‘gathering of the tribes’ if you like, in an effort to raise the online exposure for all who join and serve as a central database with a wide range of valuable, dynamically updated wireless-related content easily available to all site visitors.

As the content is supplied from other publishers (the ‘community’), we share the generated revenue with our contracted contributors in a generous and transparent manner.
