Abstract
“Every mobile operator CEO in every developed market is aware of the
need to explore new business models. Slowing revenue growth, the entry of new
players and brands into the mobile business, and mobile operators' seeming
inability to create A demand for services other than basic connectivity and
access, means mobile operators are having to take a long, hard look at where
they can add value.” Mark Newman: Author, Future Mobile Operator
