GPRS is unable to pay for lunch [ZDNet]
Snippet:
......"He noted that the revenue brought in by GPRS among the four Denmark network operators in the past year amounted to only about 23,000 euros (roughly £14,000), which would not be enough to pay for the lunches of the engineers that installed the GPRS equipment."
O dear! But the value of the article is in the suggestions for content-sensitive billing. A simple idea that has so far - amazingly - escaped the operators attention. I thought these ideas were well known, apparently not. Can't say that the billing systems don't exist for content-based billing - isn't that what the Internet is supposed to be all about? The same applies for location-sensitive content. I wrote extensively on this topic in a report done for MetroWalker location service provider in Hong Kong.
