Ericsson looks at RSS

Peter Stark, Application Manager at Sony Ericsson har written a position paper for W3C “Mobile Web Initiative” Workshop in Barcelona. In the paper Stark argues that:

“To further address the issue of how to get users online, and their reluctance to browse the Web in the traditional meaning, we look at another major trend. Push services are on the rise on the Internet, based on the de facto standard RSS. We believe that RSS has a great potential in mobile phones, as a technology to automatically provide updated content to users – accessing the Web without browsing.”
