Mobile Europe Newsletter - 30 November 2007

Airwide gets wider

Airwide Solutions splashed down in Finland this week with the acquisition of First Hop, a company that provides mobile service control and gateway technologies.

Airwide already had a mobile messaging gateway product, so why invest in FirstHop? Airwide's Jay Seaton said that although some legacy messaging vendors were struggling to provide service innovation, Airwide was definitely not one of those companies. Instead, the acquisition made sense because operators are demanding a modular approach to building messaging infrastructure (the best storage, the best router etc) and FirstHop brings to Airwide best of breed next gen messaging gateways.

Staying with messaging, NeuStar racked up another customer announcement with the news that SFR will be rolling out NeuStar's Mobile Messaging Gateway (MMG) solution to offer mobile access to MSN Messenger customers. The announcement shows there is still mileage in the gateway messaging space, as operators stick in the main with hovering up the in-line communities, alongside longer terms goals to develop their own IM communities through SMS+ type strategies.

Another mobile IM provider lost a well known industry face this week, with Oz's Beverly Wilkes heading off to voice-messaging provider Spinvox, to market their services to US consumers. Whether this is a sign of the times for Oz or not, it's too early to say.

There was significant investment news in the advertising space as well, with word that Telefonica and Vodafone have become strategic investors in mobile advertising company Amobee. It seems the operators need somewhere to go to fend off the coming advance of Google, which mobile companies fear, although they also state the company adds little value to mobile. How this investment will sit with Yahoo! though, with whom Vodafone has a very close relationship on mobile advertising, is another thing.

Finally, there was some interesting research from IMS which pointed out that, for all the talk of FMC and VoWiFi, at the start of 2006, there were globally only around ten handset models featuring built-in Wi-Fi chipsets.The count has risen to approximately 25 handset models in 2007, driven by operators of both mobile and fixed networks launching fixed-mobile services and special home-zone tariffs, IMS said. Bill Morelli, Mobile Technologies analyst at IMS Research, said that by 2012, he expected one in five handsets shipping to contain WiFi. "While this is respectable growth, it is far more moderate than what many ardent FMC supporters are projecting," Morelli said.

For our twopence worth, and having spoken to Vyke's Aaron Powers this week, we feel confirmed in this opinion even more. VoWiFi adoption will only be widespread when operators stop trying to enable it 'over here' (where they want to eat up fixed line minutes) but disable it 'over here' (where they want to stop standalone VoIP providers stealing their own minutes). At the moment the user experience is too confusing and laboured. Until there is industry momentum to enable a smoother, more integrated service, it will remain at best an enterprise and 'in the know' consumer experience.
After all, merely having WiFi enabled handsets in the market does not equal VoWiFi use

Mobile Europe's Newsweek

Mobile Europe's newsweek
.......................................................
In the news this week: research commissioned by TruePosition has revealed that, on average, 70% of consumers are receptive to advertisement-sponsored local search services which, says the LBS specialist, could prove to be a 'significant new source of revenue for mobile operators'.
"Location based services have been met with extreme cynicism in Europe over the last few years. They have promised much and delivered little. But these research findings clearly demonstrate that we are now experiencing something of an LBS renaissance," said Robert Morrison, Senior Vice President of Market and Business Development. "The technology, handsets and high bandwidth networks now exist to deliver the accuracy to ensure the best possible user experience. This will pave the way for LBS to deliver the revenues they have always promised and drive demand for the innovative services highlighted in our study."
Elsewhere, the International 450 Association (IA450) has announced its support of dual band CDMA2000 (IMT-MC) in 450Mhz and 2100MHz bands, as a 'superior option' for operators looking to expand network capacity and at the same time maintain strong coverage in low population density areas. Vadim Belyavskiy, IA450 Board Member, Technical Development Director, Moscow Cellular Communications, Skylink (Russia) and Piermario Di Pietro, CEO, Telemobil (Zapp Romania) set out the advantages of network operations in CDMA450 & 2100 MHz band at the 450 MHz Digitalization Conference, recently held in Lisbon, Portugal.
