MOBILE INTERNET
3G migration to high-speed, packet-based data creates the conditions for the
mobile and Internet worlds to converge, providing mobile users with new
opportunities to access Internet-based services and applications. This in turn
will stimulate demand for high data rate connectivity as well as helping reduce
subscriber management costs.
Making Internet accessible through mobile devices opens a huge new business
opportunity. But because much of this information is freely available, the value
provided by the operator is based on pinpointing what is relevant. For
example, frequently used applications can be made easily accessible through
personalised portal services, where the operator can advertise new services
and attract users to test them. Location-specific data will prove to be even
more useful in offering here-and-now relevance.Another key business area for
operators will be providing secure access for employees to their own business
Intranet. Operators providing services in this segment need high-capacity
solutions with guaranteed service quality and security.
MOBILE MULTIMEDIA MESSAGING
The development of imaging and video technologies, together with the
evolution of multimedia standards, creates the environment for new
messaging services. Our multimedia messaging concept will provide users
with new ways of communicating while operators gain additional service
revenue opportunities. Soon images will enrich both voice calls and text
messaging, allowing the user not only to “listen to what I say” but also to
“see what I mean”. Messaging is similarly enhanced through images, music or
video clips.
OPEN STANDARDS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS
The development of new content and application will be an important driver
in 3G. That’s why we have strongly encouraged the establishment of open
standards and operating systems for mobile terminals, as well as the
foundation of third-party developer forums. Crucially we support three key
technology platform building blocks that provide the foundations to translate
the Mobile Information Society vision into commercial reality: WAP to provide
access to Internet content and, ultimately, the development of Multimedia
Messaging Services; Bluetooth to enable seamless interconnection with other
electronic devices; and FPOC to create an open mobile operating system that
stimulates the creation of third-party mass market applications.
