Message From Leadership
Ali Khamesipour, Program Manager
We truly appreciate the fact that our students trust us with your future and never take this for granted. Your trust is extremely valuable to us as this is the main factor in driving any business’s success. We strongly believe that strong communication and collaboration will help improve our service in co-creation of value and your overall experience at CityU and upon graduation.
To make my point clear, I would like to explain the importance of your trust and communication with the history of smartphone market share. Based on data published by Statista, in 2009 the majority of the market share (46.9% of the market) belonged to Nokia’s Symbian OS. Apple’s iOS had a fair share of 14.4% of the market share while the Android OS only had a 3.9% share back in the days. Over the course of only 3 years, Android became the major shareholder in the market with 66.4% of the market followed by iOS with 19.1% of the share. By then, Symbian was only taking 4.22% of the market share. The main reason for this failure and loss in the smartphone market competition is known to be due to the lack of creation of value for customers or customer experience (such as lack of applications and User Interface) and lack of creativity in catching up with the market.
One of the main reasons any business can remain in the market is laid in the ability to keep customers keen on using their service and communicate with the customers constantly. This is the main reason any contact with a company these days is followed by a survey of some sort to ensure the business is creating value for its existing customers.
Here at the School of Technology and Computing, we strive to co-create value for our students especially since they are trusting us with more than just using our service. Our students have trusted us with their future. We take pride in our students and are continually improving the quality of our educational services as the CityU slogan is high-quality education should be available and belong to everyone without any double standards.

This Week in Tech History
Dec 1, 1996
AOL or America Online offers a new unlimited dial-up Internet access subscription plan for $19.95/month. AOL previously charged $9.95/month for 5-hour access. The new unlimited Internet access doubled the daily use among subscribers. It brought over one million new customers within weeks, which resulted in usage overloads and subscribers not accessing the service. Angry subscribers filed class-action lawsuits for not being able to access the service they paid for.
