Executive Summary

Content firms struggle to work well with mobile operators: Development time takes months instead of weeks because of standards fragmentation and broken operator processes. Moreover, content firms identify reduced network latencies, expanded carrier billing capabilities, and real-time reporting as major areas for improvement. To grow mobile content services usage and revenues, operators must address these complaints. Their current — too restrictive — portal models aren't sufficient: They need to become mobile content department stores. We lay out a transition strategy for this.
