Drive Entertainment and Communications Services Revenues
As an entertainment and communications device, the
Apple iPhone and its integrated applications are radically changing mobile
consumer behavior, with increased content downloading and longer mobile Internet
sessions. As a result, the iPhone is influencing mobile operator requirements
for network capacity upgrades and increased service control capabilities.
Cisco IP NGN Difference
The Cisco Service Exchange Framework (SEF) provides
mobile operators with the capability and scalability to generate revenue from
and control usage of mobile data and content services for the Apple iPhone
and other smartphones. With Cisco SEF and the Cisco
Content Billing solution, mobile operators can increase the average revenue per user through
differentiated billing of iPhone applications such as Safari Web browsing,
YouTube on iPhone, iPhone content downloads, and more.
