This is probably the central issue facing the mobile sector today: the fastest-growing segments in the communications sector - such as YouTube and Facebook - are based on content and community and as the mobile industry moves to 3G it wants to develop effective partnership models with these players to enhance mobile revenues. The days of building walled garden environments are over but MNOs want to play an involved, partnership role with content and application players, enabling the mobile Internet.
Helping define the emerging technical and business relationships required for this shared participation will be important work over the next few years. TM Forum has established a Service Delivery Framework (SDF) team to define end-to-end management of next generation services and the establishment of rapid multi-supplier service delivery. An important part of this work will be to ‘fill the gaps’ in existing TM Forum standards and frameworks.
