Award Introduction

We have seen numerous developments in the last year in mobile content and these are bringing further improvements in the experience of accessing content via mobile phones, and hence greater opportunities for operators, vendors and content providers to exploit this channel. According to industry research, demand for mobile content is expected to represent two-fifths of operators’ revenue by 2009. This is certainly very promising but it will be interesting to find out how successful operators, vendors and content providers have been in offering a more compelling user experience to the mobile market.
