New Report Reviews the Mobile Data Market in Europe in 2007, Including Applications Such as Mobile TV, SMS, MMS, i-Mode and Location Based Services.

DUBLIN, Ireland-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c90388) has announced the addition of Europe - Mobile Market - Mobile Data to their offering.

The development of mobile technologies and the rapid increase in the number of content providers in recent years has provided enormous potential for the profitability of Europe’s mobile operators. Gaming, video and music portals are concepts which operators have hoped would transfer quickly and lucratively into the mobile arena. As more subscribers become aware of the capabilities of 3G and other services, so too have they become wary of the high costs of data transfer, and conscious of the frivolity of many applications on offer. In areas such as mobile TV, successful trials in 2005 and 2006 have not translated into general consumer acceptance of the technology. This has encouraged further investment in HSDPA and other technologies, as operators begin to take on WiMAX as an option for versatile mobile access. This report reviews the mobile data market in Europe in 2007, including applications such as mobile TV, SMS, MMS, i-Mode and location based services, and assesses the potential for further growth and development to the end of the decade.
