The question now is how much value can operators offer than how many services can you offer to customers. We believe that the killer app today is providing the best user, multimedia experience using any wireless access device.

Another key concern is ad skipping. Will operators allow ad skipping or not?

There would simply be too much information for network operators to store all the data. The government has to be practical.

You have to think that at some point the cable operators are going to be forced to do something. But then again I said the same thing last year when the phone companies cut DSL pricing. It's hard to know where the breaking point is and how long it will take to get there.

With respect to the current increases, I can certainly indicate that operators need to take a deep breath and not to worry about those,

We are offering service providers around the world the power to deploy instant group communications, fostering a community of music sharing subscribers that will boost ARPU and loyalty. Operators can generate more voice, data and mobile music sales and increase the uptake of their offerings within the youth market.

This exciting application is another example of how we leverage SIP for service creation to help service providers immediately monetize IMS networks.

Opera 8 on Sony Ericsson's P990 benefits not only end users with a fast and full-featured Internet experience, but operators as well,

Operators should make full preparations for building networks, developing service offerings and nurturing the market.

After the auction, which soaked up a huge amount of paper, operators only agreed to buy at a much lower price.

By deploying Cisco's Content Billing solution, mobile operators can provide their customers with a myriad of payment options to strike the ideal balance for the billing of voice, messaging, multimedia, games, Web and other mobile services.

A wireless operator without enough spectrum is like a body without enough blood. If you don't have enough blood you're going to face major medical challenges. Likewise, the cellular operators will need more spectrum to be able to offer new services and applications.

Back then a lot of operators came in deliberately for the short term, sucked a lot of money from people and then disappeared overnight. Those days are gone.

Operators will need to store the expanding range of parameters that can be applied to individual subscribers and check against these to see which features apply as soon as a user requests a service.

It is frustrating when GNC Corporation takes actions to directly hinder franchise operators' profitability.

Hopefully, operators will see traffic increase as a result of people using the browsers, and that will convince them that they can build new revenue streams off of Opera and the mobile Web.

The flash memory makes code efficient, translating into more applications and data space. Any space saved in the code space can be given to the end user as data space. The more data space that's available, the more revenue network operators can expect. By making the code more cost effective, we're effectively giving network operators more revenue.
