Over 30 start-up companies
are offering low cost and mobile VoIP mobile communications.
Some are opening new market sectors, some are directly
competing with established service providers. Claims
are made for their disruptive potential.
Mobile VoIP is Appearing in
a Number of Guises
The mobile market is entering a new
and interesting phase. Wireless technology is evolving
and delivering greater bandwidth. New mobile applications
are appearing.
Will the new players eat the established providers’
lunch? Will they get a bite? Will they get anything
at all? The race is on!
The study profiles 30 new mobile players in detail
and gives summary tables, illustrations and comparisons.
You get a clear picture of who is in this business,
where they come from, where are they operating, who
is backing them, and exactly what is on offer.
Who, What, & How – Comparisons Made
Easy
The new players are offering a
wide mix of products and services.
The study analyses products and services company by
company making it easy to compare and contrast them.
You see the emerging market segments and how each is
being addressed. The study makes sense out of what
looks like a real hotchpotch, a confusing mix of technologies,
products, solutions, and services.
You can see what is really new, what is an existing
idea brought up to date, and what is possibly old hat
in disguise.
A big question facing the industry and these players
is what mixes of products and services will succeed
in the market in the long run.
The product service mix includes:
Stand-alone Mobile VoIP, Integrated Mobile VoIP,
Call-Back, Call-Through, Local Numbers, Mirror Numbers,
Mobile Web Call Set-up, SMS Call Set-up, Muliti-Number
& International SIMs, Other Technology, Pre-Roll
Ads, Low Cost IP SMS, Mobile Email, Mobile IM Chat,
Buddy Lists, File Sharing, Mobile Social Networks, Skype
Access, Widgets, DID Numbers, and more.
User Demand
The study covers what companies are saying about their
users, numbers of downloads, registered users, regular
users, volumes, and types of users.
Clarity, Consistency & Neutrality
As growing and changing markets often do this one has
generated a large, and bewildering, terminology. The
same product, the same process, gets described in different
ways. The same term is used to describe different things.
The study will give you clarity and consistency. It
also gives you neutrality. The companies covered in
the study produce a lot of useful information, but of
course it is presented from their point of view.
The study selects what is really important and describes
it objectively. And, cuts out all that repetitive hype!
Tariffs Compared
The mobile communications business has a poor reputation
for providing information for quick and easy tariff
comparisons.
The information is there, the trouble is, it is voluminous,
overwhelming, and takes ages to work through, and each
provider does it differently.
The study solves this problem. It provides a whole chapter
devoted to standard tariff comparison tables.
The tables show the cost per minute of making calls
from a mobile from the UK, France, Germany, and the
United States to mobiles and landlines. Call destination
countries include:
UK, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands,
Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Australia, Brazil,
Canada, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea
(South), Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Pakistan, Russia,
South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, UAE, United States.
