Introduction
Providing premium content, downloads, and subscriptions has proven to be exceptionally profitable for a few carriers such as NTT DoCoMo who have launched these services successfully. The problem is that cultural/genre differences and trailing carrier infrastructures have suppressed success within a majority of the world's wireless markets. To exacerbate this, the media company slump has made these companies unwilling to heavily invest in formats other than non-compelling WAP text services which have little perceived value and cannot be viewed safely while driving or in transit.
Our patent-pending NextMode content management software enables wireless carriers to immediately address these cultural, genre, infrastructure, and content format availability issues so that they are successful in the launch of highly profitable services. It completely automates the collection of content from many providers, transforms it into audio (or video) for delivery to handsets, personalizes it to the customer's preferred topics/order/time preferences, delivers it to a wide range of devices, and integrates into your existing billing systems. NextMode is built on a carrier-grade infrastructure compatible with J2ME, BREW, Symbian, and WinCE (Stinger)-based handsets with audio players plus PocketPC, Palm OS, and other mobile devices with data cards. It is backwards-compatible and doubles as an old-fashioned voice and WAP portal (but far more personalized and open) for support of older legacy handsets still in use.
