Mobile Commerce and the value chain

• Challenge:

– Prices on air time is decreasing

– Deregulating from authorities, allowing virtual network operators (Operators that offers full range of telecom services based on traffic routing through existing GSM networks)

– IP technology and GSM technology - (WAP) together with a deregulated marked of bearer services allows “VAS- operators”

• Meet the challenge:

– Focus on value added services and Mobile commerce as one of the “corner stones”

– Focus on the brand name Telenor and build a strong portal for value added services

Functionality

When on Internet: Pay with you GSM phone as an option in one of your menus on Internet. The menu option activates the mobile wallet on your phone, hence converting the mobile phone to an advanced smart card reader.

When wireless. A Pico browser implemented on the SIM card with a server component connected to Internet brings a predefined set of business logic form the Internet site to the mobile phone. Attached to the Internet site’s own business logic, the site need to implement an interface to the mobile wallet, so the end user can purchase products from the Internet site via the mobile phone.

The GSM network offers a natural push mechanism, which is very powerful. Combined with an Internet page, the customer subscribes to information of particular interest, and while wireless he or she gets a notice on the mobile when the information they have been waiting for is available. When we bring Internet to the mobile, we also give the end user the possibility to act on these push mechanism, for example an offer to purchase or reserve on special offers while being “on the move “

Summary

• Strong believe in business opportunities for Mobile Electronic Commerce. High Internet and Mobile penetration in Norway.

• Our customers don’t care about the enabling technology, but the offer of useful services to them. Hence, SIM Toolkit is an important technology for us. It serves as ”proof of concept”

• Platform migration to WAP is a natural next move, but the mobile wallet will reside within the SIM card due to security and preventing fraud.

• Necessary enabling technologies are both SIM Toolkit and WAP.

• Crucial to focus on 3. Party alliances to build this new market. In particular content providers with the ”best” brands

• Focus on service development that gives true value to the customer in a MOBILE situation.
