www.WirelessFederation.com/news: When innovation in the telecom sector is highlighted, surprisingly, it is believed that it’s not the highly and technologically advanced European countries or super power America which is at the fore front, but the Asian countries like Japan and South Korea which have emerged as the world leader in mobile innovation.

Although the above fact has been questioned every now and then, Japan’s superiority in the field of mobile innovation is still undeniable. The innovative world of Japan’s telecom sector is reflected through the ubiquity of mobile Internet usage, 90% 3G penetrations in the island and many more. The cultural uniqueness of the country has been attributed as one of the factor behind the success.

Even urban China and India are moving with leaps and bounds and might over take Tokyo and Seoul in the near future while Turkey has seen an unprecedented growth in mobile marketing and advertising with emerging countries ready to take on the world of mobile money.

All this has raised a very important question. Are European countries and the USA lagging far behind in mobile innovation? The answer to this question can be no! The most talked about names of mobile world like Google, Apple, RIM, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon and eBay are the product of the USA. Mobile e-mail or Instant Messaging usage is higher in the US than in Europe. And when it comes to Europe, who can forget GSM standard, the greatest contribution made by the continent to the world.
