Description

While there is a clear slowdown in the growth of legacy mobile messaging services such as SMS and MMS in several regions of the world (such as North America and Europe), high growth rates still exist in other regions such as Asia Pacific. Overall, it is unreasonable to expect a ‘hockey stick’ growth in legacy mobile messaging in most of the regions of the world, which means that investments in messaging infrastructure licensing for core messaging platforms is slowing. At the same time, however, maintenance revenue and revenue from premium messaging services is helping sustain the market momentum and is providing a steady stream of revenue to the mobile messaging vendors.
