Citadines Apart’Hotels Cannes introduces mobile keys
Like something out of a mobile technology tradefair, one flat hotel in Cannes is introducing mobile keys to its customers. At Citadines Apart’hotels on the Boulevard Carnot, guests and residents can avoid the front desk if they already have a booking and go straight to their flats. They can use their mobile phones as an [...]
MIPTV and GSMA to launch “Connected Creativity” forum
With all the talk about multi-platforms at MIPCOM 2010, it’s hardly surprising that MIP should start getting even more cosy with the mobile world. So the news is that Reed MIDEM and the GSMA, the body that represents the worldwide mobile industry and which also produces the Mobile World Congress and Mobile Asia Congress events, [...]
MIPCOM to look at smartphone apps and tablets
Everybody has one, it seems, even before we were entirely sure what to do with them. Smartphones and online tablet devices are the new black. So when will the content biz start really monetising them? The answer is “now”, according to a half-day seminar on 6 October at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes during [...]

This year, MIDEM is introducing a special section for companies that bring innovative digital services. Some are consumer-based, others provide services that could be used by artists, labels or brands.

Wifi in Cannes: are you being watched?
In all the years I’ve been travelling to Cannes and using cyber-cafes and later WiFi, I can’t remember ever having to show ID. Simon Glynn of RiveriaOne, however, posted an interesting item on his company’s blog. RiveriaOne provides IT, network and security systems during the trade fairs and also in private residences. He pointed to [...]
New EU-wide roaming charges in effect
The long-announced roaming charges on mobile phone calls and text messages are now in effect. Since July 1, visitors to Cannes (and indeed anyone travelling within the EU) will benefit from lower charges thanks to new regulations introduced by the EU Commission. The broad outline of the measures mean that: * the price for sending [...]
Staying connected during the festival and market
Attending a trade fair without e-mail access is pretty much unthinkable these days. It’s only a few years back that I had to run to a cybercafe near the railway station to check mail, burn CDs (yes, CDs) and print documents (using the wrong keyboard). In fact, my first time in Cannes I didn’t even [...]
Mobile roaming prices down – but not until July
In a move that will be welcomed by both European and other travellers, Euro MPs have voted to enforce lower roaming fees across mobile services. The cap for a “roaming” text will fall to 11 euro cents (10p; 14 US cents), from an average of about 29 cents today. But the bad news is that [...]
Will mobile coverage blossom at Cannes this year?
For about three years, I have been meaning to start blogging from my mobile phone. But I always wondered who would be interested. Although the capabilities are there, is there anyone out there really interested in reading what would be very short messages? Since then, of course, Twitter had made its appearance and seriously changed [...]
Wi-Fi connections in Cannes
It’s almost unthinkable to be in Cannes for a few days and not have access to your e-mails. Midem obviously has Internet connections for visitors, although you usually have to stand in a queue. If you want a more accessible connection, you should think about taking a WiFi subscription. SFR is the supplier within the [...]
