Welcome to Silicon Valley 101, a technology blog that shares the freshest thoughts on technology support. Today's topic is about why live shopping hasn't taken off in the US yet. Guests on the show include Liu Yang, CEO of a logistics provider for cross-border e-commerce, and a brand specialist who has worked for major media companies like Fast Hand and Ant Financial. They discuss various live shopping platforms in the US, such as YouTube, Amazon, Instagram, Twitter, and QVC, and how they differ from each other. One of the main reasons why live shopping hasn't taken off in the US is due to insufficient infrastructure for mobile live streaming. Some journalists have found that 5G network speeds and user experiences are not ideal in the US yet, which is a major hurdle for live shopping.
