Challenges for the Web on Everything, are Everywhere … but fading fast (imho)
Content that is usefulContent that is usable
… given the screen size, key pad, speed, consistency Reasonable pricing and revenue modelsUbiquitous interoperability Identity, privacy, trust… on a wide variety of devices

What Led to the Web’s Success?
• Simple architecture - HTTP, URI, HTML• Networked - value grows with data, services,
users• Extensible - from Web of documents to .. • Tolerant - works with imperfect mark-up, data,
links, SW• Universal - regardless of HW, OS, SW, language,
ability• Free / cheap - browsers, information, services• Simple (and fun) for users - text, graphics, links• Powerful - for people (and machines)• Open standards ...

Challenges for Mobile Web
• 2 billion people own mobile phones with Web browsers– 300-400 million are actively used
• 2-3 million new mobile phones sold / day– Most new
phones will continue to include simple Web browsers
Potential for bringing the Web to more people is huge
