Abstract

The development of mobile services in Japan shows that there are three chasms: one for walled garden, one for SNS-based community services, and one for mobile open platforms. These chasms were discussed from the context of a series of discrete events. The author tries to provide a birds-eye view of this development. The author proposes a two-layer structure for mobile service ecosystems, where each chasm represents the lower-layer component and the upper layer represents the cross-stage ecosystem. The author maps the development of mobile services into this proposed model, and discusses the ecosystem factor for each layer, in order provide a universal basis for generating eco-system-aware mobile data services.
