Rebtel is a new way to make international calls* from your mobile phone at super low rates.
Rebtel gives you local numbers where you live that connect you to your international contacts. Instead of crazy per-minute charges or rip-off calling cards, you just pay your mobile phone operator for a local call, and pay Rebtel a tiny fee on top of this for the international part of the call.
This means that a Rebtel call is like any other international call – but much, much cheaper!

“Rebtel is unique in that it allows users to call India from the U.S. for the price of a local call between friends in the U.S. for just 5 cents a minute.” – India Journal, (May 30, 2008)

“… there are a handful of services available that allow you to make cheap and sometimes even free international mobile-to-mobile phone calls. Rebtel is one of those services, and trust me, you’ll be glad you found it.” – Yahoo! TECH, (October 31, 2007)

If you are traveling westwards, and more specific, to Silicon Valley, you will gain some new perspective such as people seams to line up in front of stores named Apple (Only in the bay area not in LA) and that European cash is worth a lot more.
If you also are working within the Mobile Web 2.0 (ouch, I’ll probably get sued if I’m not mention the strange fact that Mobile Web 2.0 is a registered trademark by Verizon – a total contradiction to me. Read some more about this FACT by Oliver Starr), as I am, you’ll find some other curious things in the most advanced high tech area in the world.

1. They don’t have 3G coverage at Stanford University! August 22 2008. I think the 3G network covered my university in Stockholm like seven years ago.

2. The carrier walls are higher than the Berlin Wall (dismantled 1989). Among other things, you can not automatically send SMS by “uncertified” Internet services. You have to get approved AND pay (about 500 USD a month).

3. You have to pay for receiving call and SMS – you get to pay even if your not answering the phone. Given this fact, why not allow more services to send SMS, se above, then you could really make some serious money.

The summit itself? If you are fortuned to be invited to present your company it’s among the top events in the world. You’ll find that your LinkedIn profile will make a major quality jump – tones of interesting people there. And, if you have the right concept and are based in USA you can score some capital.

As for the actual content of the conference? Nothing new and really surprising other than the music panel at the end including MC Hammer and some other really cool rappers – a powerful finale!
