Overview:


While mobile communications is frantically trying to transform itself into a data business, the killer application remains voice. Around 95% of all revenue generated by mobile operators is based on voice, the other 5% being messaging, with a less than 0.5 % coming from data services such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Bluetooth, 802.11, and the rest of all those new acronyms. New innovative use of Short Message Services (SMS), both in permission based marketing models and in combination with TV, are looking more promising. However, all of these services will not reach more than 15% of total mobile revenue.

GSM is still the major global mobile platform. Other platforms such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and its variants have support in some countries, but it is expected to remain less used than GSM globally, even into the Third generation (3G) era. Korea is the most exciting example of new mobile data services, but so far it is the only country that is scoring success. Even in Japan it 3G is not catching on and, despite the i-mode success, the net money gains remain questionable.

While 3G does offer excellent infrastructure features, there is little chance that operators will be able to ask premium prices for services over this new infrastructure. Unless there is a network need for it there is little chance that 3G will be deployed on a large scale.

The overarching problem is that after many years of high growth, the mobile market is slowing, despite the increased level of competition and rapidly falling prices. Many markets have now reached saturation point.

Fixed wireless services are slowly being replaced in some areas by mobile services. The release of higher frequency spectrum has allowed for the development of new technologies, and hence new applications. Wireless local distribution technologies such as Wireless Local Loop (WLL), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN, Wi Fi, 802.11)) and Bluetooth have shown potential. The problem here is the lack of solid business models. The smaller players don’t have the scale to become substantial players and the exiting players will be wary of cannibalising their existing mobile and fixed broadband services. The WLAN does have the potential to grow into a ‘disruptive’ technology that at least temporarily (next 5-years) could upset the current broadband market.

Satellites have not advanced much during the early 00s. GEOs are still providing good service, but LEOs and MEOs have shown a constant stream of financial disasters. It is not expected that this situation will change for several years to come.
