Apeera claims that its system will enable users to upload and
store media files such images, music and games on a personal
repository, managed and hosted by the operator, and pass them on to
others through an interface on their handset or an internet
portal.
According to the company, the solution, which can be applied to
a variety of existing mobile services such as games, picture
libraries and ringtones, will help mobile operators reduce entry
barriers for new applications.
Apeera also said in a statement that its system allows operators
to retain full visibility of distribution and file sharing between
users and to apply a variety of revenue models, mainly through the
increase in traffic through the network and in services being
utilised.
Bruno Suard, the company’s chief executive said: “Operators are
not looking for the killer application, they are searching for the
killer revenue model.”
