29 Sep - 02 Oct - Converged Messaging (Germany)

Date: 29 Sep 2008 - 05 Oct 2008
Venue: Holiday Inn Munich City Centre, Munich, Germany  

Mobile operator messaging revenues are under threat. Operators are rolling out flat rate data packages to encourage mobile internet usage and uptake, which is in turn enabling the availibility of free, ad-funded online messaging on the mobile handset. The potential for this online model to canibalise operator messaging revenues is clear. However, there is a huge opportunity for operators, who have a far closer relationship with their users than their online counterparts, to drive new messaging revenues from CONVERGED MESSAGING and secure the long term future of their messaging revenues. Operators also boast (and are in the position to take advantage of) the most important user community bar none т€“ the mobile contacts list.

IIRт€™s Converged Messaging Summit is the consolidation of our hugely successful portfolio of messaging events and comes at a time when the messaging market is at a major cross-roads. Those who innovate, embrace new technologies and recognise the changing face of the converging telecoms market will be best placed to develop new services and drive future messaging revenue streams.
