It is estimated that globally there will be 100 billion SMS messages sent per month by the end of 2002 (Logica). It's very likely that MMS will build further on this path to lead the way to profit in 2.5G and 3G just as SMS has done in 2G.
Market Evolution
We believe that MMS will rapidly evolve into a true mass-market service for both personal and professional use. Because the business and leisure identities of users are not separated, MMS will meet the broad needs of various user segments.
Phone users will adapt to MMS easily, since it can be recognized as an advanced form of SMS. Thus MMS becomes a solid stepping-stone on the way from 2G to 3G communication and services.
Mobile Phone Evolution
Although the number of MMS-compatible mobile phones is expected to grow rapidly, there will continue to be mobile phones that have no MMS capability.
With the help of the Nokia MMS solution, the users of these phone models will receive an SMS notification informing them that they have received a multimedia message that can be retrieved at a specific Internet address.
