1 Worldwide Mobile Market Summary

Markets, Growth and Penetration: Globally, the mobile industry continued to enjoy strong growth throughout 2005 and this growth is expected to continue for several years to come. The total number of mobile subscribers worldwide is expected to increase from 2.14 billion at the end of 2005 to approximately 3.96 billion by 2011. In the same time frame, the population of the world is likely to increase from approximately 6.5 billion to 7 billion, denoting that worldwide mobile phone penetration should hit the 50% mark some time near the end of 2009. A substantial part of this growth in subscribers will be witnessed in the Asia Pacific region, which will account for approximately 50% of the total subscriber base worldwide by the end of this decade. Africa and the Middle East is the next biggest growth region, and Latin America is also likely to see strong growth. Western and Northern Europe and North America have seen some consolidation in 2005 and this increase in M&A activity is likely to continue as competition increases and margins continue to tighten.

Figure 1 shows historic and forecast growth in total global mobile subscriber numbers from 2002-2011.

Figure 1: Forecast Worldwide Mobile Subscriber Growth, 2002-2011 (year end, in millions)




In terms of penetration, worldwide penetration of mobile handset ownership grew from only a little over 20% at the end of 2003, to over 32% at the end of 2005. Our forecasts anticipate worldwide penetration to break 50% around the end of 2009 and climb to 57.8% by the end of 2011. Regional Development: 2005 was a year of milestones in several regions. 2005 was the year Latin America became a bigger market, in terms of numbers of subscribers, than North America. Both North America and Latin America passed 200 million subs in 2005, but by year end Latin America was leading the way, just, with 220.1 million mobile subscribers, over North America with 219.3. Central, Eastern and Southern Europe also crossed the 200 million barrier, starting 2005 with 198 million subscribers and ending the year 90 million up at 288 million, the colossal Russian mobile market being home to some 48 million of these 90 million new subscribers. Of course, the most significant milestone seen in 2005 was the worldwide total number of mobile subscribers passing 2 billion, but it is equally important to note that in 2005 Africa crossed the 100 million subscribers mark, and with a population of almost 900 million people, this continent looks set to add many more in the coming years.

Figure 2: Regional Dispersion of Mobile Subscribers year-end 2005 (in millions)

© Copyright 2006. Portio Research Ltd. In 2006, expect to see the Asia Pacific region break the magic 1 billion subscribers mark, the Middle East should cross over 50 million and Europe should pass a total of 700 million subscribers across the entire region. As already noted above, a substantial part of the forecast subscriber growth from start-2006 to end-2011 will be witnessed in the Asia Pacific region, with vast growth opportunities in China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. By 2011, we estimate that the Asia Pacific region will account for approximately 50% of the world’s entire mobile subscriber base, with a staggering 1.067 billion subscribers between China and India alone, the world’s two biggest mobile markets. Between the start of 2006 and the end of 2011, while the Asia Pacific region adds a little over 1 billion subscribers to the world total, Africa is likely to see net additions of 265 million, closely followed by Latin America adding 205 million to the global total. By contrast, growth will be slower in more mature markets, with North America adding 75 million to the world total and Western and



Northern Europe adding just 30 million to that figure. Central, Eastern and Southern Europe should see better growth, adding a further 79 million mobile subscribers as the big markets of Russia, Turkey and the Ukraine grow to saturation, and finally the Middle East is expected to see growth of an additional 79 million subscribers, largely in Iran and Iraq.

Generating Revenue from Non-Voice Services:

As revenue from voice services stagnates in mature markets, mobile operators worldwide are looking to non-voice value-added services (VAS) to produce increased revenue and better bottom lines. Worldwide, after numerous setbacks and delays, 3G has finally come of age and the resultant fast new networks offer ample scope for newer services and lower operating costs. The number of 3G subscribers is gradually growing, though the new technology still has a long way to go before it achieves mass market penetration (probably another two-three years) in most European markets. Despite the industry talk about advanced new data services and the realisation of the ‘wireless Internet’, only one non-voice service can be truly be described as a mass market success: SMS. In recent years, mobile operators around the world have been closely focussing on data services as the great saviour of ARPU (Average Revenue Per User). Mobile messaging has emerged as the frontrunner in non-voice applications for mobile operators around the world. SMS has spawned numerous new value-added services, including mobile marketing, TV-voting, news and infotainment services, personalised alert services and much more. These services attract higher premiums in comparison to P2P messaging, and thus fuel growth in the operators’ net margins. In recent years, SMS has matured into the primary messaging service of the wireless world. Other messaging services, such as MMS, have evolved and come to market amid much hype and many delays, with interoperability issues and low handset penetration plaguing growth. As subscribers migrate to new 3G networks, and multimedia services mature, both SMS and MMS are expected to play an increasingly important and equal role in the operators’ data revenue over the next five years. Other services, such as mobile e-mail and mobile instant messaging, are expected to see increased adoption in the more mature markets of Europe, North America and Asia. Mobile Instant Messaging (IM) is expected to enjoy rapid growth in the US, where SMS has not seen such mass market adoption as elsewhere. Globally, SMS is expected to remain the most widely used messaging format for several years to come. With the adoption of 3G and increased bandwidth, operators are expected to continue lowering SMS prices, driving ever greater use. SMS has been an outstanding success over the last five years, and 2005 witnessed over 1,000 billion SMS messages sent globally, generating over USD 35 billion for the mobile industry. Global SMS volumes are expected to continue rising, with almost 2.38 trillion messages estimated in 2010, in comparison to 760 billion in 2004.

2 Africa

Market Size – Subscriber Growth and Penetration:

During 2004 and 2005 Africa saw overall mobile market growth surge forward faster than any other continent in the world, almost doubling the size of the entire African market in those 2 years, and that growth should continue for some time. As Africa relieves its debt burden, continues to liberalise its telecoms markets and open up to further competition and foreign investment, the mobile sector will be a vital component of future growth on the continent. Africa is a vast market of almost 900 million people, and just 14 percent of them currently have a mobile phone. 2005 was a significant year for the mobile industry in Africa, as the market passed the all important ‘100 million subscribers’ milestone. By the end of 2005, the African continent is home to a little over 113 million mobile subscribers, but the region is set to see significant growth in mobile subscribers between 2006 and 2011. Our forecasts project the total subscriber base in Africa to reach 378 million by the end of 2011, net additions of 265 million new subscribers over that period. Whilst Asia will see the greatest number of net additions over the next 6 years, Africa will emerge as the fastest growing mobile market in the world, with total mobile subscribers in the region expected to increase at a CAGR of approximately 22.2 percent during the period from 2005 to 2011, resulting in a mobile subscriber base of 378.62 million by the end of 2011. Mobile penetration across most of the region is still quite low despite the fast growth in recent years. Overall, the region had a mobile penetration rate of 10.3 percent at year-end 2004, rising to approximately 14.3 percent by the end of 2005. Penetration is forecast to rise to 41.8 percent by the end of 2011. Pre-paid subscriptions are highly dominant in the region and constitute approximately 95 percent of the total subscriber base. Figure 3, below, shows forecast growth of mobile subscribers in Africa for the 10-year period from 2002 to 2011.

Subscribers Penetration


Key Markets and Opportunities:

Many country markets in Africa are still not very competitive, in fact 60 percent of countries have only two operators - or less. However, a few examples, such as Algeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and South Africa, have more than 2 players and things are improving rapidly across the region. With the proposed privatisation of state-owned operators in Morocco, Nigeria and Tunisia and the proposed issuance of a third GSM licence in Egypt, competition should increase soon and markets should become healthier for it.



Nigeria, which has the largest population in Africa, had reached only 7.6 percent penetration by the end of 2004. But Nigeria has 4 network operators fighting for growth and this healthy competitive environment helped penetration rise to 14.4 percent by the end of 2005. Nigeria emerged as one of the fastest growing mobile markets in the region, with a CAGR of 147.3 percent during 2002-2004, beaten only by rapid growth in Algeria. This fast paced growth in the Nigerian mobile market has been the result of the liberalisation policy and consequent competition in the market, a demonstration of the power governments have in expediting such development. The number of subscribers in Nigeria is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 30.2 percent during the period 2005-2011. South Africa, however, has the highest mobile penetration on the continent standing at 67 percent at the end of 2005, and this is also Africa’s most developed market, with strong competition among the three major players and 3G services launched back in 2004. According to our forecasts, the total number of subscribers will increase at a CAGR of 4.7 percent during 2005-2011 to reach 39.06 million, over 90 percent penetration, by the end of 2011. Tunisia, which has the second highest level of mobile penetration in the region, is also expected to register a CAGR of 9.7 percent during 2005-2011, driven by the privatisation of state-owned Tunisie Telecom in 2006 and launch of GPRS and EDGE technologies. In fact, thanks to Tunisia’s relatively small population of only 9 million, mobile penetration in the country is expected to exceed 80 percent by 2009. Different countries in Africa are currently at different stages in their market evolution, with a few markets, such as Ethiopia and Rwanda, still operating as monopolies and some at the other end of the scale facing maturity and intense competition, such as South Africa. As the example of South Africa demonstrates, with Virgin Mobile soon to be launching the first MVNO on the African continent, the market conditions in Africa’s more competitive markets offer ample MVNO and MVNE opportunities. As MVNOs proliferate worldwide, particularly in Europe and North America, Africa may be the next exciting target market for MVNO growth, where regulatory market conditions allow. Approximately 95 percent of all subscribers in Africa are pre-paid users, and the continent is rife with cultural diversity. In some markets there are many languages, religious groups, political beliefs and cultural differences. For example Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, with over 125 million inhabitants, is home to over 250 separate ethnic groups. Locally and ethnically-relevant content is the niche of the MVNO, and fast maturing, fast growing markets like Nigeria, where growing competition is decreasing ARPU and increasing churn, may prove to be highly competitive MVNO markets.



Figure 4: Forecast Overall Subscriber Growth in Africa 2005-2011

© Copyright 2006. Portio Research Ltd. Growth of Non-Voice Mobile Services in Africa and the Middle East: Non-voice services are still at a very early stage of development in most African mobile markets, with the exception of a few more advanced countries such as South Africa. The only non-voice service in widespread use is SMS, in some markets MMS and content downloads such as ringtones, logos, etc. However, compared to more advanced markets, use of these services remains low primarily because of low levels of penetration in the region, low literacy levels and low per capita income. The demand for such services in the region is expected to remain comparatively low for some time, causing operators to limit their investments in the development of advanced value-added services. On a brighter note, some of the more developed mobile markets in Africa, such as South Africa, Morocco, Nigeria, etc., have seen healthy growth in the use of data services, especially SMS. In some markets, such as the ferociously competitive and rapidly expanding market of Nigeria, a number of private value-added service companies have emerged, indicating a booming market for content services. A similar pattern of development has also been seen in South Africa recently and content services, particularly SMS and MMS based content, such as news, travel and information services, and ringtones and logos, etc, are growing well in the country. These companies operate on a revenue sharing basis with the local operators, working under similar business models as used in other regional markets. SMS is perhaps the only non-voice value-added service that is expected to gain mass market popularity as the subscriber base in Africa grows over the coming years. However, it remains likely that the only countries that stand to generate any truly significant revenue from SMS are the few bigger, most advanced markets such as South Africa, Nigeria and Morocco. Though other markets in Africa are likely to amass a large subscriber base, and doubtless substantial SMS traffic, prices will need to be so low, in order to stimulate use, that revenues will probably not boom in line with traffic.

3 Asia Pacific

Market Summary: The mobile markets of the Asia Pacific region are the most diversified and dynamic markets in the world. From a mobile telecoms industry point-of-view, the region has the 2 most advanced country markets in the world, Japan and South Korea, as well as the countries with the fastest growing markets, India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Philippines. Japan and South Korea have been pioneers in the mobile industry. While Japan claims to be the first country in the world to launch 3G services based on UMTS, South Korea was the first to launch services based on the CDMA2000 1X standard. South Korea recorded the highest 3G penetration (89 percent) in the world in 2004. China and India are both the largest markets in the world and the fastest growing markets in the world and offer huge potential for the operators and handset manufacturers owing to their vast growth potential. South-Asian countries, such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam are attractive destinations for investors in mobile markets. They have attracted a major share of FDIs in the recent past. For instance, in Bangladesh, all five operators are working in collaboration with foreign investors. Moreover, Vodafone has made India its next destination by acquiring a 10 percent stake in Bharti Tele-Ventures Ltd. (Airtel), one of the largest mobile operators in the country, in October 2005.

Figure 5: Forecast Overall Subscriber Growth in Asia Pacific Region 2005-2011

© Copyright 2006. Portio Research Ltd. The region had 702.79 million subscribers at the end of 2004, growing to 863.32 million at the end of 2005. Total mobile subscribers have increased at a CAGR of 30.6 percent, during the period 2002-2004. The subscriber base in the region is expected to continue to grow at a CAGR of approximately 14.7 percent during the period 2005-2011, resulting in a total mobile subscriber base of 1,964.81 million and a penetration of 48.9 percent at the end of 2011.



Growth of Messaging and other Non-Voice Mobile Services: ARPU levels in the 2-2.5G markets of Asia Pacific are quite low when compared to the average ARPU level worldwide. For example, in the Philippines, a country widely regarded to be the “SMS capital of the world”, ARPU is as low as USD 3, compared with a world average of USD 28 (2004). These markets are extremely price-sensitive with lower levels of per-capita income. In order to increase mobile penetration and gain a larger share of the market, operators need to offer competitive prices for mobile services (data and voice) along with subsidies on handsets. With the operators upgrading their networks to EDGE, UMTS and CDMA2000 1X across Asia Pacific, they have an opportunity to increase ARPU through the introduction of various value-added services and wireless Internet access. Mobile messaging continues to generate the bulk of data revenues in the region, and China, the Philippines and India are the three biggest messaging markets in Asia. In pure volume terms, the Asia Pacific SMS market is projected to be the biggest SMS market in the world by 2010; India and China alone are expected to witness over 800 billion SMS messages between them by 2010. Driven by China and India, the total SMS traffic in the Asia Pacific region is expected to increase from 434 billion messages in 2004 to over 1,212 billion by 2010. Revenue from SMS in the region is expected to grow from USD 7.2 billion in 2004 to USD 15.1 billion by 2010. MMS traffic volumes are expected to increase from USD 4.3 billion messages in 2004 to 24.9 billion messages by 2010. MMS revenues in Asia Pacific are expected to grow from USD 5.4 billion in 2004 to USD 13.97 billion by 2010.

4 Europe

Market Summary:

The Western and Northern European mobile market is the most saturated mobile market in the world, with mobile penetration approaching more than 100 percent in the majority of countries in 2005. As the Western and Northern European mobile markets are nearing 100 percent penetration, the Central and Eastern European market is catching up fast, looking likely to emulate the saturation and penetration of Western Europe within a few years time. Already penetration across the entire region is close to 50 percent, but Central and Eastern Europe still offers huge growth potential for network operators.

Figure 6: Forecast Overall Subscriber Growth in Europe 2005-2011

© Copyright 2006. Portio Research Ltd. 3G in Europe: The introduction of 3G services in the Western region has been slower than expected, although most 3G licences were issued during 2000-2002. This has been primarily due to the heavy costs incurred for obtaining the 3G licences, as well as for building 3G networks. The biggest setback has been the slow market adoption of these services due to the limited availability of compact 3G handsets, incomplete network coverage and the expensive services. However, it is expected that the market for 3G services will improve in the future once these challenges are tackled and about 45 percent of the region’s mobile market will be penetrated by 3G services by 2011. 3G services will hopefully emerge as the driving force maintaining healthy revenue growth in the already saturated markets. Some observers note the fact that ARPU among 3G subscribers is higher than among those on 2G networks, but this could simply be the early adopters and heavy users driving ARPU to unrealistic levels, and time will tell if the mass market follows this trend.



As in Western and Northern Europe, the cellular networks in Central and Eastern Europe are based on GSM. Although many of the networks have been upgraded to GPRS and EDGE in most Eastern European countries, the majority of operators have not yet launched 3G UMTS commercial services in the region, barring Czech Republic, Romania and Greece (by end 2005). The Czech Republic is one of the first countries in the world where UMTS TDD services have been launched (UMTS TDD standard offers speeds higher than the UMTS FDD standard). Messaging and other services: As mobile penetration is nearing saturation in Western Europe and voice ARPU is declining, operators are compelled to develop mobile data services for sustaining their revenues. The operators are focussing on content services, such as mobile games, mobile banking, mobile instant messaging, mobile TV, mobile e-mail, mobile Internet, etc. Though many new services are now available on many European networks, messaging, specifically SMS, remains the single non-voice service generating by far the most substantial and consistent non-voice revenues for network operators in Europe. SMS traffic is expected to grow from 140 billon messages in 2004 to over 334 billion messages in 2010 in Western Europe alone. SMS still has an immense future in the Eastern European region too, for example in Russia, a country with a strong youth-culture, SMS usage is expected to be extremely high as the mobile subscriber base is expected to exceed 140 million by year-end 2011. Central and Eastern Europe is a booming SMS growth area and traffic levels will continue to rise steeply for the next few years. Many countries across the region are enjoying growing subscriber numbers as penetration increases, and this growth in GSM subscribers will drive the growth in SMS usage. By 2010, SMS traffic in the region will be almost as high as in Western and Northern Europe. SMS traffic is expected to witness volume growth from 64 billion messages in 2004 to over 305 billion messages by 2010 in Central and Eastern Europe. In the Western and Northern European market MMS has already started to take-off with MMS volumes expected to move from half a billion messages in 2003 to 61.2 billion messages by 2010. However, in Central and Eastern Europe, MMS services still have a long way to go by comparison. During the end-2004 to end-2011 time frame, the volume of MMS traffic across the region is expected to rise from 233 million messages in 2004 to over 6.5 billion messages by 2010.

7 Latin America

Market Summary: Latin America accounts for approximately 10 percent of the total mobile subscribers in the world. The region has witnessed rapid growth in its mobile subscriber base over the last few years, propelled by a number of important factors, such as high uptake of pre-paid subscription offers, economic recovery in some of the countries like Argentina and Venezuela, and liberalisation of the telecom sector in Brazil and Chile. Despite the high growth rate of mobile subscribers from 2002 onwards, the penetration rate in many countries remains low, indicating that strong growth potential still exists for the mobile industry across the region. Chile, which is among the most advanced telecoms markets in Latin America, had the highest penetration rate (except Jamaica) of 67.5 percent as on 30th June 2005. Many other countries in the region, such as Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, had a penetration rate of only 40-45 percent. However, the high growth rate is likely to slow down in the coming years and the market is likely to saturate much faster than other markets, such as Europe, primarily due to the low average income of many subscribers.

Figure 7: Forecast Overall Subscriber Growth in Latin America 2005-2011

© Copyright 2006. Portio Research Ltd. The region is characterised by intense competition between operators in almost all the countries. There are a minimum of four operators in each of the leading mobile markets of the region with Brazil having nine operators. The competition between operators has been an important factor for driving growth in the region, in terms of both subscriber growth and the development of non-voice value-added services. However, the region has also witnessed some consolidation in the recent past, when Telefonica Movil acquired all the Latin American operations of BellSouth, and subsequently, merged them with its own existing operations, expanding its Latin American footprint. This acquisition has helped Telefonica to strengthen its leading position in some of the major mobile markets of Argentina, Chile and Peru. Currently, the three leading operators across the continent - with multiple operations in more than one country - are Telefonica Movil, America Movil and TIM (Telecom Italia).



Growth of Mobile Data Services: The Latin American mobile market has good growth potential, both in terms of the growth of subscribers as well as the development and growth of non-voice value-added services. However, advanced data services, such as mobile e-mail and video calling, are expected to grow quite slowly in line with the economic conditions prevalent in the markets and the average per capita income of the population, which is quite low. Huge economic disparities between several countries in the region, compounded by political instability in some countries and other problems, will not aid the development of expensive advanced technologies. Also, as mentioned before, this region is likely to saturate much faster than somewhere like Europe, primarily because of the comparatively low average income of the population. While the region is expected to have a slow growth rate for advanced value-added services such as mobile e-mail, it provides a favourable market for the growth of a basic value-added service like SMS. The total SMS traffic volume is expected to increase from 44.6 billion messages in 2004 to approximately 174.8 billion messages in 2010. P2P SMS traffic volumes are expected to reach the 150 billion messages mark by 2010. The total amount of revenue generated from SMS services in Latin America is projected to rise from just about USD 1.3 billion at end-2004 to USD 4.6 billion by the end of this decade. MMS is in a comparatively nascent stage in the Latin American markets. While traffic volumes are relatively low now, approximately 362.2 million MMS messages carried in 2004 in Latin America, this traffic volume is expected to grow in time, with operators targeting the higher-income segment of their subscriber base. We expect MMS traffic volumes to reach 6.8 billion messages by the end of 2010. Within the same time period, revenues from MMS are projected to rise from USD 262.9 million in 2004 to over USD 1.5 billion by 2010.

8 Middle East

Market Summary: Many of the mobile markets of the Middle East are going through a period of transformation, from a series of monopoly markets, with just one government-owned incumbent operator, to become highly competitive markets with multiple operators present in each country. During the last 3-4 years, the mobile markets in a number of Middle Eastern countries have opened up to private investors/operators, thereby increasing competition, driving down price and positively influencing subscriber growth across the region. Saudi Arabia, for instance, has almost doubled its mobile subscriber base during the two year period from 2002 to 2004. Iraq, where mobile services were introduced in 2003 witnessed subscriber growth of 760 percent during 2003-2004. The Middle Eastern mobile market is a diverse one, characterised by varying levels of growth potential in terms of subscriber base and value-added services in different countries. Large population and low mobile penetration in countries such as Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia offers strong top-line growth potential, whereas exactly the opposite holds true for countries such as Israel, Bahrain and Kuwait, where penetration is higher and markets are saturated. The mobile market of Israel, for instance, had a mobile subscriber base of 7.2 million and a penetration rate of 116 percent at end-2004. While mobile technology has just begun to gain popularity in the region, some countries, such as Israel, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have also exhibited high potential for successful value-added services, hence, providing a good future market for 3G services. Total mobile subscribers in the region are expected to increase at a CAGR of approximately 19 percent during 2005-2011, resulting in a mobile subscriber base of 122.43 million in 2011. The corresponding mobile penetration is expected to be approximately 57.8 percent.

Figure 8: Forecast Overall Subscriber Growth in the Middle East Region 2005-2011




Growth of Non-Voice Mobile Services in Africa and the Middle East: The market for value-added services in the Middle East has been growing quite nicely in recent years. SMS is popular in most markets and ringtones, logos and other content downloads have all gained widespread acceptance, particularly culturally relevant content and information downloads. While SMS traffic is expected to grow at a rapid pace, the growth of other value-added services is expected to be restricted to markets which foster the right conditions; high growth, higher-than-average per capita income and deeper penetration. SMS and MMS traffic looks set to grow well in some countries, such as Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Across Africa and the Middle East 3G services have already been deployed in South Africa, The Maldives and Israel, while various other countries, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Bahrain have issued 3G licences or are in the process of doing so. The scope and growth potential of these services is expected to be limited, in the early stages, to just a small portion of the total population because of the current low penetration levels and the considerable cost of handsets and services.

9 North America

Market Summary: The North American mobile market has continued growing steadily in 2005, with subscriber numbers growing from 199.76 million at year-end 2004 (penetration near 61 percent), to 219.32 million at year-end 2005 (penetration at 66.7 percent). Whilst growth is slowing, a sign of a market that is approaching saturation, our forecasts show that further growth opportunities still exist and the total North American market should grow by a further 75 million subscribers over the next 6 years, 66 million of them in the US. Operators in the region are gradually focussing on wireless data services for stabilising dipping revenues and to increase their existing subscriber base in this highly competitive market.

Figure 9: Forecast Overall Subscriber Growth in North America 2005-2011

© Copyright 2006. Portio Research Ltd. With increasing competition and reducing margins, the mobile industry is fast consolidating in North America. The market has seen various mergers and acquisitions between 2004 and 2005. In particular, the Cingular Wireless acquisition of AT&T Wireless in 2004 has made it the largest operator in the US, and Sprint and Nextel, both major operators in the US, also announced their merger in 2005. The mobile industry in the US is tremendously over-invested, creating opportunities for MVNOs. It is likely that the underutilised 3G networks in the US will witness substantial utilisation by MVNOs between 2005 and 2010. Moreover, in the absence of popular data applications and the lack of financial resources to aggressively subsidise and market data-equipped handsets, operators are likely to aim for increased network utilisation, and seek numerous MVNO deals.



Growth of Non-Voice Mobile Services: SMS continues to generate the maximum revenue in the North American messaging market and is the most commonly used messaging service in the youth sector. Though SMS was introduced in 1995, its uptake in the region has not been as prominent as in Europe. This was primarily due to the existence of various competing technologies, the lack of interoperability as well as problems sending SMS through CDMA networks (the most dominant technology in the region). However, the situation has been improving since the major operators in the region implemented inter-carrier SMS connectivity by early 2002 as well as cross-border inter-carrier SMS between Canada and the US in 2003. SMS traffic volumes have grown well from over 50 billion messages in 2004 to almost 80 billion in 2005, and traffic volumes are forecast to reach a peak at almost 250 billion by the end of the decade. In the same time frame, revenues from SMS for North American markets are also projected to rise from USD 3.6 billion in 2004 to about USD 5 billion by 2010. During early 2005, the major mobile operators in North America entered into interoperability agreements for MMS messaging. This is expected to drive the growth of MMS in the region. Growth should then be furthered by the deployment of high-speed networks that support rich messaging applications and the easy availability of camera phones. Mobile IM is gaining popularity in the US as global chat service providers are increasingly moving towards mobile for revenue generation. AOL is one of the key players in this segment with a market share of 46 percent (in 2005). About 9 million handsets in the US have an AOL chat client installed on the handset and in 2005 AOL witnessed daily traffic of over 18 million MIM messages over its network.
