In Conversation with Dannie Francis, CEO of CellCity @ Nokia Developer Summit 2009

While in Nokia Developer Summit 2009, I have come across a Singaporean company, The Cell City which is participating in the “Calling All Innovators” hackathon. Their flagship product, DC2Go.net is a city guide service that is available across a wide range of digital access points. Websites, WAPsites, IPTV, digital Kiosks, and remote mobile networks such as the back of taxis or within inflight airline entertainment systems. What it makes it different is that they harnass the power of the mobile phone and have made roads in working with Nokia.
