TEN GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR THE MOBILE INTERNET
1. The internet experience on mobile networks will be different from the internet experience on fixed networks.2. Unlike the fixed Internet world, it is expected that most mobile customers will be prepared to pay to access many of the services. 3. Mobile data services will always expand directly in proportion to the bandwidth available4. The mobile internet experience will seek to use capacity efficiently.5. The more bandwidth a specific service uses, the higher its price.6. Pricing and revenues for mobile data services per unit of capacity will be greater than voice.7. Mobile data has the potential, to be highly profitable as a marginal contributor to EBITDA (over 50%) for mobile operators.8. Customer retention will be the key driver9. Crucially, mobile operators have a fantastic oppertunity to Dominate the wireless ISP (WISP) and wireless portal market10. Global scale will be critical
