World Telemedia 2004
Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Booth 3
Amsterdam, The Netherlands 25 28 April 2004
Netsize, Europe¹s leading mobile solutions provider, will be presenting its powerful content publishing solution, the Multimedia Vending Machine, at World Telemedia 2004 in Amsterdam. The Multimedia Vending Machine is a one-stop shop solution for selling multimedia content to more than 500 million mobile consumers worldwide.
An efficient content billing mechanism
Exciting things are happening in the mobile space - from the opportunities afforded by the much heralded arrival of 3G and the convergence between mobile phones and television, to the explosive growth in the popularity of ringback tones in Asia and video making its first real appearance on mobile handsets - but, at the end of the day, it all comes down to content.
Content - and, more importantly, putting an efficient mechanism into place for billing for that content.
Netsize is a recognised world expert in this field. On Monday 26 April, Netsize Chairman Stanislas Chesnais will be speaking at World Telemedia, Europe's leading content and billing event for voice, mobile and internet, on the subject of the US Premium SMS market. Netsize recently announced the launch of its two-way Premium SMS connections in the North American market, and at World Telemedia Stanislas will be sharing his thoughts on how best to approach this market of 150 million mobile consumers.
"The mobile market in the United States is just beginning to open up," said Stanislas Chesnais, Chairman of Netsize Group. "Common short codes were launched in October 2003, and Premium SMS only recently became available on the major networks. With their experience and know-how, and with the right connections and partnerships, companies from Europe have a real opportunity to help grow this market and to get a slice of the pie."
