Dr Richard M Marshall

I've always liked to build things. Since I outgrew Lego I've been building software, development teams and most recently companies.

I'm Founder and CTO of Rapid Mobile Media Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. We founded the company in February 2004. We mobilise applications, but are now focussing on Ad360 Mobile Advertising Platform.

I like to think of us as creating mobile applications that people actually use, but we go much deeper than that.

This blog, however, is much more about my observations on the last frontier, the world of mobile technology. And anything else that crosses my path.

Legislation for mobile consumers

There’s a bill of rights for mobile consumers being presented in the US at the moment. The prime motivation is that more and more people are dropping their landlines, and hence the same level of protection that US landline customers have should apply.

Fantastic, especially if it forces carriers to offer better, comprehensible tariffs.

Sad, on the other hand, that the industry needs this degree of regulation. This must be what happened with the railroads, telegraph, and Bell telephone. History repeats itself.
