Mobile Network Operators Value Proposition
Symbian OS smartphones form a significant segment of the smartphone market. Large subscriber segments of a mobile operator's subscriber base stand
ready to benefit from new applications and services enabled by our .NET framework.
The Symbian OS maintained its approximately 73% of the worldwide
smartphone market according to Symbian CEO Nigel Clifford at 3GSM 2007. S60, the most popular user interface platform on Symbian, powers the largest share (54%) of the smartphone market according to the Canalys report (January 2007).
How will licensing the .NET technology on Symbian benefit subscribers and in return operators?
Red Five Labs makes it possible for .NET smartphone applications and developers to target already popular Symbian OS devices. A populous, diverse developer ecosystem results in product innovation benefiting subscribers through new services and applications. Network operators stand to benefit directly from this by:
-
offering new products to certain segments of the existing market,
- differentiating overall product offering over competitors, and
- increasing subscriber demand for network data utilisation.
