3G Operators to Be the Kings of Dial-up

By 2008, all European 3G operators will earn the lion's share of their revenues as Telecommunications Service Providers (TSPs).

The prediction from Mobeon, the mobile messaging software company, will see TSPs leasing network bandwidth to alternative service providers, such as music, games, publishing and utilities companies.

Mobeon Labs, the research and development arm of the Swedish company, reports exponential growth in enquiries from alternative, third party providers interested in making their digital services 3G-compliant.

Mobeon anticipates that in the next three years, the majority of mobile operators will adopt the new TSP business model, which is a modification of the strategy developed by Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
