- These slides are based on research carried out by Ovum Ltd during Q3 2007
- The aim of the research was to highlight and make public good examples of 3G services from operators around the world in a number of categories: mobile broadband, mobile advertising, social networking, place shifting and mobile search
- This research is distributed by exclusive agreement with GSA - Global mobile Suppliers Association
- Ovum will be updating the research on a quarterly basis from Q1 2008
- In updating the research we will be looking for new services to expand the scope
- - The key findings of the research were:
* HSPA services finally provide users with a “broadband experience” on mobile
* Together with good devices and flat rate tariffs, this has taken 3G to an inflection point for growth
* We can expect very rapid uptake of mobile broadband services from here on, provided tariffs are reasonable
* There are some good applications already in use and, as take-up and usage increase, we can expect much more energy to go into application development
* There is good evidence that people will largely take their PC-based usage of the web onto mobile, with applications such as social networking and media sharing providing strong drivers
* The bulk of the revenue is so far in access and traffic, with high potential from advertising and search although they are currently in their early stages
