Mobile Industry Predictions Report: 2012

December 15, 2011 by Mobile Payment Magazine

The Yankee Group has just released its free 17-page 2012 Annual Predictions Report, which looks into what the future has in store for the ever-growing mobility landscape.

Overview:

The world is in transition and in the year ahead, mobile will be both the protagonist and the subject of this instability. During the last five years, networks and the information they carry have plugged more than 2 billion new participants into the mobile economy. The winners in this landscape will be those players that can scale quickly and treat each user as a unique customer.

Report Highlights:

  • The mobile gold rush is global in scale a and touches all customers. In the last five years, 2 billion new users joined the mobile revolution. Looking ahead, mobile workers and consumers will embrace tablets, mobile content and personal cloud services. At the infrastructure level, the operator imperative to monetize all-IP networks will drive investment in policy solutions.
  • Asia-Pacific takes the lead in tablet sales. Yankee Group forecasts U.S. tablet sales will total 17 million in 2011 and almost 25 million in 2012. Similarly, tablet sales in all of Europe will exceed 15 million in 2011 and reach more than 26 million in 2012. And tablet sales in the Asia-Pacific region will total 20 million this year and reach almost 39 million in 2012, more than 50 percent above the U.S.
  • Diameter signaling is taking off. Yankee Group has seen significant request for proposal/request for information (RFP/RFI) activity and expects spending on IP-based Diameter signaling to more than double between 2011 and 2012—growing from U.S.$22 million to U.S.$45 million. And overall, we see the market mushrooming to U.S.$212 million in 2015, for a whopping CAGR of 57.2 percent.
  • Personal cloud services are hitting the high-growth phase. We forecast 17 percent of professionals with three or more devices will adopt a personal cloud service for online storage, backup and synching.
  • Economic woes threaten operators. Western European operators will see churn increase from approximately 2.3 percent per month today to 2.4 percent by the end of 2012, despite operators’ ongoing efforts to migrate customers to postpaid services and long-term contracts linked to new smartphone purchases. The world is in transition and in the year ahead, mobile will be both the protagonist and the subject of this instability. During the last five years, networks and the information they carry have plugged more than 2 billion new participants into the mobile economy. The winners in this landscape will be those players that can scale quickly and treat each user as a unique customer.

MNO’s Collaborate to Establish Hungarian Mobile Wallet Association

July 25, 2011 by Mobile Payment Magazine

Hugary’s Magyar Telekom, Telenor and Vodafone have joined with three market leading operators–MasterCard, OTP Bank and SuperShop–to establish the Hungarian Mobile Wallet Association. The aim of the Association is to design and articulate recommendations for mobile NFC service standards in Hungary, and to submit proposals towards the successful implementation of the service.

Designed to operate over very short distances, Near Field Communication is a wireless switching technology, which facilitates contactless communication and exchange of data between two or even several devices over a secure channel.

The use of contactless bank cards (e.g. PayPass) through the mobile phone constitutes only one pillar of the service. Equally important are other features such as loyalty cards, coupons, travel and entrance tickets, etc. Services that are based on NFC technology are capable of ensuring new and highly attractive customer experiences through their speed, ease of use, innovative features and the possibilities provided by the large and interactive screen of the mobile phone.

This united move of Hungary’s MNOs  may help establish Hungary among the first countries where mobile NFC services are  launched in Europe.
