Os aplicativos de mensagem ameaçam as operadoras? Faço muitos trabalhos com as empresas de telecomunicação e elas estão realmente preocupadas com isso. Hoje elas faturam cerca de US$ 330 milhões por dia no mundo com a cobrança de SMS. E, à medida que as pessoas começam a usar smartphones, trocam o sistema normal por aplicativos. Para as operadoras é uma faca de dois gumes, porque elas têm de fornecer uma boa conexão, mas isso prejudica o SMS.

Nice piece with an interview I did in Brazil, on the future of telecom.

Brazil Goes Social: The Rise of the Brazilian Digital Middle Class
Popular chocolate brand Lacta, for example, partnered with Orkut on Fazendinha, Brazil’s answer to Facebook’s Farmville game (the name literally translates as “little farm”). When players plant a cacao seed on their virtual farm, the seed grows into a tree that produces MiniBis, Lacta’s new chocolate snack.

Meet Gerd Leonhard Nov 5 in Sao Paulo:Evento vai discutir novas mídias e economia sustentável
“Ou qualquer pessoa que queira mudar o mundo”, brinca Gerd Leonhard, um ex-músico profissional que virou empreendedor de mídia digital, CEO de startup de internet e futurista. “Nossa ideia é atingir gente interessada no futuro da mídia e que deseje desenhar, nos próximos cinco anos, o papel que o Brasil pode ter nesse novo mundo.” O tópico-chave de sua palestra será “do ego ao eco”. Leonhard explica: “Estamos nos transformando em uma nova sociedade, onde todos estão globalmente conectados. É uma ‘network-society’. E a economia também está mudando, do ego, que significa o lucro a qualquer preço, para o eco, uma economia sustentável”.
All 154 members of the Association of Newspapers in Brazil (ANJ), comprising 90 percent of the country’s newspaper circulation, recently opted out of Google News, claiming the search firm should pay them to re-run their headlines and excerpts. (via Google News faces mass newspaper boycott in Brazil — paidContent)
Gerd adds: this seems like pure desperation - they’d be better off to spend their time on developing new business models for a SoLoMo world — and this is happening regardless of what Google will or will not do.

On Nov. 5 at the Museum of Image and Sound - MIS in São Paulo, Gerd Leonhard presents a strategic vision on the future of global business focus eyes on innovation and sustainability. Leonhard stresses the urgency of shifting the paradigm of “ego” to “eco”. Gilson Schwartz of organising body USP - University of São Paulo, suggested adding “icon” to form a triad that defines the game’s new digital capitalism.
From the synthesis between Leonhard’s and Schwartz’s ideas comes this first seminar, which will be broadcast live over the Internet starting the evening of the 5th of November. The seminar is supported by “The Futures Agency”, the “Creative Business Cup”, the Museum of Image and Sound, international network of Games for Change and the research group Iconomia.

The Rise of Innovative State Capitalism - Businessweek
Brazil is perhaps the best current example of how a state-capitalist system can build innovative industries. Successive Brazilian governments have intervened—with incentives, loans, and subsidies—to promote industries that otherwise would have needed long-term private investment to make them competitive with U.S. and European rivals. At the same time, Brazil preserved strong, independent management of state-backed firms, ensuring they did not become political boondoggles.
Interesting by Folha de Sao Paulo, one of the biggest newspapers in Brazil - it points to the future of news: the print edition is basically just another screen ;)
