Mobile Content: Pricing & Revenue Opportunities

September 2004 (41 pages)
This report is the second in a series of reports/case studies focusing on the development of the Mobile Content Market. In this report we:
  • Reveal how a variety of new content formats have created the impetus for the introduction of non-standard revenue share models. We look at the factors operators need to consider when negotiating revenue share levels, and indicate the maximum revenue share targets in different content categories that we believe operators can aim for.
  • Provide examples of where and why operators have introduced particular types of content without any revenue-sharing obligations
  • Illustrate the divergence in content pricing between developed and developing markets.
  • Illustrate how the content revenue mix varies substantially between different markets, and identify four key content applications that we believe offer the potential to contribute at least 1% of all service revenues for mobile operators.
  • Discuss the respective opportunities for a variety of content services including:
    • Logos and pictures
    • Precomposed MMS' for different occasions (birthday, romance etc);
    • Ringtones (monophonic & polyphonic);
    • Music Downloads;
    • Streaming Internet radio as a mobile service;
    • Mobile chat-platforms;
    • Dating application;
    • Games;
    • Video-content (news, sports, fun clips);
    • News (world, sport, finance);
    • Traffic services;
    • M-commerce platforms;
    • Adult content (video, pictures, chat);
