MMS Services

September 2003 (15 pages)
Since the first service launches by Telenor in Norway and HKCSL in Hong Kong in March 2002, MMS has been deployed in over 50 countries across 100 different operators in all regions of the world. The level of activity in this area over the last year has been quite remarkable with many service launches and a high level of advertising campaigns promoting both services and MMS capable handsets on all media channels.

For many operators MMS represents an evolution from SMS with added multimedia features such as graphics, pictures, sounds and interactive applications. Inspired by the success of SMS, wireless operators and content providers have been working together from the early stages of market development to ensure the success of MMS. As with SMS, the type of services on offer can be classified in a similar way to SMS, to include two broad categories:

  • Person to Person (PTP) MMS - mostly picture sending in the case of MMS handsets equipped with digital cameras
  • MMS Content - comprising a wide range of other MMS based applications
  • All the operators analysed during the course of this research have introduced both PTP MMS and MMS content services at launch. However, differences have been evident in the initial promotional focus.

Price: EUR 1,250.00 / GBP 1,000.00
