This is a departure from the transport mechanism used for SMS (which is based on the GSM signaling channels) to use IP to transport messages within the MMS network. As with any new technology is difficult to accurately predict the position within the next 5 years, although based on previous experience with WAP and SMS it would be fair to say that this protocol will increase in usage over the next 5 years and a legacy for the next 5 years more Furthermore, users will migrate to the next wave of messages. But the MMS technology offers more than just the expansion content of the message. MMS: What is the first book to address how MMS (and the use of IP to transport messages) will affect the existing infrastructure and business model includes fundamental changes to billing systems and future letters of recommendation included, such as interoperability and evolution Presents an overview of the MMS technology components Drawing on the authors experience in the implementation of MMS technology (developing, billing and providing services) at BT, innovative book will appeal to engineering managers, network operators, market analysts, business decision makers, content providers and service organizations.
