Instant messaging in demand

With the advancement in mobile technology, mobile networks are

trying to push instant messaging a step further. The Internet

and Java enabled mobile devices make Mobile Instant Messaging a

reality. Fifteen networks have decided to work together to make

it easy to IM across networks. The success of IM on the net has

motivated mobile networks to get it working on mobiles as well.

People are now using mobiles to send IM rather than a PC and the

operators are convinced that they can gain good revenues for

data services. The operators are hopeful that instant messaging

will repeat the success of text messaging, as more and more

people will start using IM for their day-to-day communication.

According to the Mobile Data Association, British mobile users

sent 3.1 billion text messages in December alone, which helped

the operators make good money. With the coming of third

making it easy to message instantly. IM conversations involve a

faster exchange of messages than text messages, thus ensuring

that you enjoy an experience similar to that available as online

chat. The latest technology is quite capable to handle large

amounts of data. Technology therefore is no longer an obstacle

to the IM revolution. The splits between the operators of the

online IM networks was however a big problem. They are now

slowly starting to link to each other. The mobile operators have

learnt that they should start exchanging information among

themselves. 700 million mobile phone users have agreed to use a

single standard for IM, which would work across networks. Later

this year, the operators are looking to launch instant messaging

mobile services. It was reported that to make IM conversations

easy to follow, some work is still needed. Instead of arranging

messages by when they arrive, it would be far better to arrange

them by both conversational thread and time. One more problem

that needs consideration is that IM conversations are often

between large groups of people rather than one-to-one like text

messages. Another cause of concern for operators is the fear

that committing to IM could weaken their brand. No operator

wants to give away too much control to net-based IM operators,

as they may become their competitors in the near future.

Operators still have a huge control over price and user

conditions. But within 2-3 years, operators would not be able to

control that anymore.
