They have been largely caught unawares by the growth of such sites as Flickr, YouTube, OhMyNews and MySpace. Their growth stems from both better broadband availability and the increased scope for tribalism, identity expression and personalisation that user-generated content provides. Paul Saffo of the marvellously titled Institute of the Future notes that this could herald a 'Cambrian explosion' of creativity: a flowering of expressive diversity on the scale of the eponymous proliferation of biological species 530 million years ago. So what does this trend mean for wireless carriers? John Delaney looks at the implications.

Mobile operators are well-placed to benefit from the explosion of interest in user-generated content (UGC). It fits well as an extension of the trend to personalize that is already so successful in the mobile environment, and offers a way to monetize the wealth of 'user-generated content' currently residing (unsent) on mobile terminals worldwide.

Other trends facilitating the growth in content include: The growth in storage capacity, coupled with ever cheaper prices. The growth of standardized, non-proprietary capacity in mobile phones encourages both sharing across other devices and upgrading.

Elisabeth (musical)

Elisabeth is a Viennese, German-language musical commissioned by the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien (VBW), with book/lyrics by Michael Kunze and music by Sylvester Levay.

The show opens somewhere in purgatory, where Luigi Lucheni is being interrogated by a celestial Judge as to why he has murdered the Empress Elisabeth, a continuous punishment for his deed that has lasted for over one hundred years. Lucheni claims that he was coerced to murder Elisabeth by the Emrpess herself and her lover. He tells the Judge that all her life, Elisabeth was the mistress of none other than Death itself. As his witnesses, Lucheni brings back the dead aristocracy of the bygone era and takes us to the past, where he serves as a bitter sarcastic narrator of the events that lead to the transformation of the sweet and innocent Sisi to the revered and infamous Elisabeth, Empress of Austria and Hungary.

The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California by vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger. They were considered a controversial band, due mostly to Morrison's cryptic lyrics and unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death on July 3, 1971, the remaining members continued as a threesome until disbanding in 1973.[1] Despite a career that barely totaled eight years, The Doors still enjoy a huge cult following as well as status in the mainstream music industry as being hugely influential and original. According to the RIAA, they have sold over 32 million albums in the US alone.[2]
