Why mobile?
mig33 was founded on the premise that the next wave of Internet growth
is mobile. The number of mobile devices world wide has exceeded three
billion and the next billion subscribers will have their first internet
experience using a mobile phone. This is convergent with mobile
technology and platforms to become more open and interconnected. With
these trends comes the opportunity to deliver a wealth of integrated
Internet experiences to consumers in the wireless world.
The rise of VoIP and wireless technologies are
redefining the way people connect and build communities. mig33 takes
advantage of the shift in the telecommunications industry from managing
and tariffing the network, to delivering customer services and value.
The evolution of the Internet creates new opportunities to offer
services that deliver customer and shareholder value.
