Using Web, WAP and SMS for download
Already today services exist on the Internet where
users can create melodies, view icons, pictures, and
subscribe to entertainment and informations services.
These may develop further in the future to support
Internet access by a PC connected to a mobile phone
using WAP, or even an SMS request interface.
The diagram shows the possibilities for using Enhanced Messaging Service:
- When the Operator/Service provider enables EMS in the network, users will enjoy adding life to messages with
sounds, melodies, pictures and formatted text.
- New ranges of Content/Application aggregators on the operator network or the Internet can provide EMS contents
and services to the users over SMS.
- Content Creators/providers can see a new demand for creative contents. Also, promotional activities from movie
companies, record labels etc can provide ring signals, movie snapshots, etc.
The added value in SMS messaging will create new revenue which can be shared between the network operators, the
application aggregators, and the content providers.
