I’m here at X Media Lab in the Digital Media City. The DMC, according to the Korea government “was born as a result of a plan by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to form a world-class IT & Media complex.”

One of the benefits of this IT district is amazing WiFi! Full and free WiFi everywhere in the DMC. This makes covering a conference really easy. Not even CTIA in San Francisco had this. Although X Media isn’t focused on mobile, I’m mostly here killing time until Mobile Content 2008.

So far, all of the keynotes have focused on Second Life. It’s interesting that there is a such a huge focus on this game because Second Life isn’t that popular here in Korea. I haven’t really heard anything regarding Second Life mobile, but I think it would be an interesting side note to their speech. If everyone thinks SL is a great way to promote companies, what better way to add to this than through mobile.

I’ll be sure to post if anything of consequence comes up in the mobile scene.
