    Following previous year’s successful messaging conference, this year’s 3rd Annual Next Generation Messaging Forum 2009 will look at the latest developments in all messaging services available. This conference will allow operators to understand how further they can go in developing the messaging services and how they can increase their revenues with services that have always been there – and probably taken for granted. There is no doubt that the services users are more attracted to, are the voice and messaging services. Therefore operators should try to make the most out of it and increase their revenue. Nonetheless, the scope of messaging is much broader than just SMS and we will also focus on other messaging services available such as MMS, email, instant messaging.

    conference quote

    "This will be the 3rd Annual Next Generation Mobile Messaging Conference. There’s no question that voice and SMS are the two pillars of service and the two main generators of revenue for operators. Operators need to find ways to improve these primary revenue generators. Messaging services focus not only on sms but also in areas such as advertising, content and core communications capabilities (email, IM, etc) as ways of generating new revenue and increase subscriber loyalty. "

    This year’s 3rd Annual Next Generation Messaging Forum 2009 will look at the latest developments in all messaging services available. Some of the topics that we will focus will be the impact of smartphones, the convergence into and evolution towards IP messaging and how the messaging experience is changing for the end-user. Messaging is part of our daily life and this should be integrated in the most natural way.
