Ring tones, phone games to rake it in
By Dinesh C. Sharma, News.com
Forty-eight percent of the revenue
in 2009 will come from personal communication services such as text messaging,
e-mail, instant messaging, video messaging and other rich content, Strategy
Analytics said in its report, released this week. Text messaging via SMS (Short
Message Service), will remain a key application globally, accounting for 26
percent of all data service revenue in 2009, the market researcher said.
The growth in data services is faster than expected because of the availability
of feature-rich handsets, according to Strategy Analytics. Applications like
ring tones and downloadable games are doing strong business in many markets,
while video and audio services are also growing in popularity as service
providers launch 3G networks.
"Mobile data services are currently undergoing a period of strong growth as a
result of carrier strategies, many of which were implemented in late 2002 and
2003, that have succeeded in establishing a strong base for consumer demand.
These include better marketing, lower data prices, greater service availability,
faster transmission speeds, richer handset features and more intuitive user
interfaces," David Kerr, a Strategy Analytics vice president, said in a
statement.
Cell phone companies are increasingly looking at data services for additional
revenue. |
