nordisk mobiltelefon was a nordic operator of a digital cdma2000 450 mhz mobile telephone network in sweden , norway and denmark .

company was initially co-founded by arnfinn röste .

during 2008 , the company introduced urltoken which is the brand name that was used commercially .

in february 2009 nordisk mobiltelefon went bankrupt , and u.s. based industrial group access industries subsequently took over the network on march 10 , 2009 , and continued to operate it under the urltoken brand .

in sweden and denmark , the brand name net 1 was later established .

in norway it remains ice.net .

the network uses the network frequencies in the 450 mhz band , that was previously used for analog nmt-450 to provide a digital service that will greatly exceed the range of gsm and its geographical coverage .

it is extensively used by the logging industry and users in remote rural areas .

nordisk mobiltelefon ( sweden )

in sweden and denmark , the brand name net 1 replaced the nordisk mobiltelefon name in may 2010 . in norway it remains ice .
wireless broadband operator nordisk mobiltelefon has filed for bankruptcy in norway and sweden , after an unsuccessful financial reconstruction process which began last december in both countries . the company offers wireless broadband data and voice services based on 450mhz cdma2000 1xev - do rev a technology in norway , sweden and denmark under the urltoken banner , and also has subsidiaries in poland , ireland and iceland ( where it owns radio frequencies through a joint venture with icelandic operator siminn ) . the financial plans for the subsidiaries outside of sweden and norway are yet to be decided . us - based chipmaker qualcomm is amongst nordisk mobiltelefon’s shareholders .
nordisk mobiltelefon as ( nmt ) is a nordic region wireless service operator , currently holding licenses in the 450mhz band in norway and sweden . nmt is providing voice and data services using 1xev - do technology and is focused on professional and consumer segments in the rural regions .
in 2005 , when jan freese announced nordisk mobiltelefon’s planned 450 mhz network , he pointed out that “financial muscle” would be needed to enable a new cdma network to be built in all three nordic countries at the same time . an investment of the magnitude of sek 2 billion was required in sweden alone .
in sweden , for instance , access was known as one of the major owners of broadband provider bredbandsbolaget .
in february 2009 nordisk mobiltelefon went bankrupt , and u . s . based industrial group access industries subsequently took over the network on march 10 , 2009 , and continued to operate it under the ice brand . [ 3 ] [ 4 ]
however , the project rapidly lost headway . it was obvious that the owners had different opinions . a rights issue was launched but was not fully taken up . qualcomm , for instance , refused to participate and was accused of treachery . in november 2008 , nordisk mobiltelefon was obliged to apply for restructuring of its operations in norway and sweden . it had debts of sek 434 million and among the largest creditors were china development bank , huawei and teracom .
net 1 is a nordic telecommunications company operating 4g lte mobile broadband networks in sweden and denmark since 2015 . it is owned by ice group .
qualcomm incorporated ( nasdaq : qcom ) , a leading developer and innovator of code division multiple access ( cdma ) and other advanced wireless technologies , today announced an agreement with nordisk mobiltelefon as , a cdma2000® 1xev - do wireless service operator focusing on the rural nordic market for voice and data services , to deploy brew products and services over its cdma450 network in sweden and norway . the rollout of brew wireless applications in both countries will enable nmt subscribers to download the most up - to - the - minute , compelling mobile content available in various application categories that target both enterprise and consumer users .
nmt is committed to providing advanced 3g technology solutions with the most up - to - date mobile applications and content available to its customers . our cdma450 network combined with the brew solution provides an excellent platform for the development and distribution of new services to our professional and consumer users ,
said johan lodenius , chief of end - user devices and applications , nordisk mobiltelefon .
it is very important for us that any local developer or enterprise can provide specialized application and content solutions in an open environment . our end - users will then have access to a large library of brew applications that have been created by developers worldwide .
in february 2009 , the norwegian and swedish operations went into bankruptcy . there was talk in the media of a “secret buyer” . intel was the first guess but in march 2009 it was announced that a venture capital company called access industries had acquired urltoken in norway and sweden and was also considering a bid for urltoken in denmark . subscribers would not be affected by the transaction .
in march 2008 , it was announced that the name of the operator was to be changed to urltoken so that it would have the same name not only in sweden and norway but also in the third country in which it had obtained a license , denmark . soon afterwards , the operator stated that it would be the first to abolish roaming charges between the countries . these charges would also be abolished in poland , ireland and iceland , where urltoken also planned to operate .

synchronica , a developer of mobile email and synchronization solutions , today announced new functionality within mobile gateway 4 . 0 that pushes social networking and news updates to any mass market mobile phone .
a wide range of popular social networking sites , such as twitter , flickr , picasa , linkedin and plaxo are supported in addition to thousands of other leading news , financial , and sporting feeds .
updates are automatically pushed to the user ' s mobile phone whenever new content is made available . the integration is based on mobile gateway ' s standard jcr - compliant plugin architecture which connects to any site that supports rss feeds .
global registrations amongst all social networking sites are expected to grow exponentially until 2012 . in 2008 alone , twitter recorded between 5000 and 10 , 000 new user registrations each day . the emerging popularity of social networking services present new revenue streams for network operators who license the synchronica mobile gateway 4 . 0 push email and synchronization platform .
mobile gateway 4 . 0 enables network operators to enhance their data and mobile advertising revenues by providing subscribers with a simple method of receiving preferred social network and newsfeed updates whilst on the move . updates are either pushed as emails into a separate mailbox on any phone supporting the oma emn ( push imap ) industry standard or delivered as an sms , mms , or wap push .
the use of social networking services within emerging markets is exploding . comscore reports that the greatest year - on - year growth of social networking subscriptions comes from the middle east & africa ( 66 % ) and latin america ( 33 % ) . synchronica believes that in emerging markets where consumers are often reliant on internet cafes , the mobile phone is becoming the primary tool for accessing digital content .
carsten brinkschulte , ceo of synchronica , comments :
consumers , even in emerging markets , are increasingly looking to connect to social networking sites from their phones . this is confirmed by recent research from informa which reports that 55 to 60 million people globally already use their mobile phone for social networking . synchronica mobile gateway 4 . 0 takes this a step further by pushing updates from popular social networking services in addition to thousands of news feeds to any basic mass market phone . we are connecting two mass market trends - email and social networking - and making them available anytime , anywhere , and on any handset .
imimobile , specialist provider of technology platforms and value added services to mobile operators and media companies , has announced today that it has taken control of the music2you ( m2y ) service previously provided by nokia siemens networks .
under the m2y brand , nokia siemens networks provided full - track music download and subscription services to leading telecom operators and media companies across the world including vodafone in india , aol in germany and akado in russia . as part of the transaction , imimobile will migrate those services onto its cutting edge davinci service delivery platform to improve operational efficiencies and enable the delivery of innovative value added services .
commenting on the transaction , vishwanath alluri , founder and ceo of imimobile said
the m2y service provides us an opportunity to expand our global footprint by leveraging our carrier - grade technology platforms and content management system to bring innovative services to market . seamlessly extending the davinci sdp to power full - track music services validates the robustness and flexibility of our technology platform - a unified system built on advanced architecture to centrally manage multiple content types from multiple content providers and deliver services across multiple delivery channels .
patrik sallner , global head of hosting services , nokia siemens networks adds :
hosting is a growing segment of the telecom market and we at nokia siemens networks see increasing growth of services - led business models in the telecom industry . hosting is driving the software as a service business model - a trend that is picking up momentum in both it and telecom industries - and it is a business model that allows cost effective transformation of mature messaging and vas environments . we decided to exit the music2you business and to focus our hosting business on hosting mvno solutions and messaging to serve the needs of the diverse customer base in the transforming industry . we therefore wanted to find the right company to take control of the m2y service for our customers , to ensure continuity and innovate new functionality . imimobile was chosen based on the robustness and flexibility of its davinci service delivery platformtm .
the davinci service delivery platform powers a wide range of value added services for over 40 operators worldwide . imimobile stands out as a provider of extensible technology platforms and innovative solutions in a market cluttered with vendors offering point products & standalone applications . the strength of the technology platform coupled with the high degree of automation in managing the entire content lifecycle starting from content ingestion to reporting and settlement ideally position imimobile to offer cost effective turnkey solutions to operators around the world .
vishwanath alluri concludes
we expect to fully capitalise on the synergies between m2y and dx3 technologies - the london headquartered provider of digital content distribution services , which we acquired at the end of 2008 . the combination of these two businesses coupled with imimobile ' s product portfolio allows us to offer truly end - to - end solutions on a managed services model to customers globally . we look forward to delivering added value to m2y ' s customers now that they are part of the imimobile family . the inherent efficiency of the davinci service delivery platformtm enables us to optimise our customers ' margin opportunities - particularly important in the current economic climate .
aircom international , the independent network planning and optimisation consultancy , today announced a contract with croatian mobile operator vipnet , to supply its optima performance management solutions across both the core and radio access networks .
the deal will act to standardise the operational support system ( oss ) tools across the entire vipnet network , with optima having been deployed in the core network for more than a year . vipnet will now deploy optima in the radio access network , delivering a unified product management ( pm ) solution to both departments and increasing operational efficiencies across the country .
it ' s clear that aircom is in the perfect position to align with our strategy and provide the network support needed to help roll out of our gsm and umts radio access network and further maintain and develop high quality standards for voice and data . advanced performance management is key factor for high level of engineering required for continuation of hspa + implementation
said tomislav makar , director of mag access networks and vipnet access network development director .
with its global footprint and solid track record of delivering performance measurement solutions to operators around the world , it quickly became apparent that we could trust aircom to help significantly reduce our opex , which was a key factor in the decision making process .
optima is part of aircom ' s enterprise suite of products . while enabling vipnet engineers to generate specific kpi queries from a single platform , optima will also generate consistent network performance data across the entire mobilkom austria group , meaning networks can be monitored consistently from multiple offices , departments and geographies .
croatia is one of the most exciting markets in the world , and to sign with the operator widely known for the best market entrance in europe is further evidence of our leadership in the world ' s emerging markets ,
says margaret rice - jones , ceo at aircom international .
we continue to beat off competition from major vendors in emerging countries thanks to our close understanding of market requirements and ability to scale quickly as new services are rolled out . we look forward to working with vipnet and ensuring its network runs at optimal performance for years to come .
the optima solution will be fully installed across vipnet ' s multi - vendor network by end of april 2009 . aircom will also provide system training to vipnet engineers upon completion .
sonus networks , a market leader in ip communications infrastructure , today announced that its solutions for wireless carriers have been certified as part of pathfinder , the gsma - managed service operated by neustar . the pathfinder initiative is dedicated to the simple delivery of ip - based services to fixed and mobile networks , reducing the cost and complexity of providing innovative new services .

added steve edwards , senior vice president of converged addressing at neustar .
as the pathfinder service moves into production , it is key to carriers planning their networks that leading industry players such as sonus are certified interoperable with pathfinder .
lack of standard metrics will stunt the growth of the fledgling mobile advertising business as advertising budgets are cut and brands opt to deploy their spend on traditional media with a clear return on investment rationale . however , the long - term prospects remain strong , according to jim newton , global market development director at acision .
i ' m bullish about mobile advertising ,
he says .
metrics are really important and advertisers will hold or cut budget where there are no metrics - which is pretty much everywhere - because of that mobile will be a victim in the next 12 months as operators play safe .
after the announcement by the uk ' s operators that they are to establish standardised metrics for mobile advertising , the barriers to its wider adoption are only just starting to be removed and only in a small number of countries . nevertheless , there ' s plenty to be getting on with right now , reckons henry stevens , director of media and entertainment at the gsma .
it is doubly the right time to [ invest in mobile advertising ] . if you assume advertising is a cyclical business and it is unpleasant now , you can also assume there will be a recovery . now the opportunity is to position mobile advertising as the driver of that recovery . if operators don ' t make the right investments now , mobile won ' t be ready to take advantage of that .
meanwhile , there are practical mobile advertising activities that can and are being undertaken .
in some instances we ' re guilty of trying to get too scientific about targeting ,
adds newton .
in many countries there is just data about the user ' s handset type available and you don ' t necessarily need deep data to be effective . it isn ' t necessary to jump in with everything and simple , tight propositions work best . practical steps that deliver roi are the way forward and if advertising dollars start to come that will give operators momentum .
inevitably , the focus has to be on attracting advertisers but stevens thinks this emphasis will shift as operators increase their understanding of what works , what is non - intrusive and how advertising can be valued .
the focus now is on the value proposition to advertisers , that ' s right for now but ultimately the consumer proposition is what will determine if mobile advertising will work .
turks love mobile data services - at least until it ' s time to pay for them - is the message being sent out by turkcell ' s chief business development officer , cenk serdar . serdar reckons the turkish market is a zero - to - one game and says that for most services , with the notable exception of football goal video clips , if you charge one dollar , you ' ll attract zero customers . he speaks from experience having attracted 1 . 1million users to the carrier ' s windows live messenger mobile offering in fewer than three months , that ' s almost one third of turkcell ' s subscriber base . however , monetising the service proved impossible and subscriber numbers shrank to just 25 , 000 overnight when a us $ 3 per month charge was introduced .
it ' s very hard to get wallet share from customers ,
admits serdar .
turkey ' s a large country but the gdp isn ' t high so users are very open to free offers and incentives .
turkcell has had to box clever but many of the announcements made by the vendor community regarding mobile services in the last five years are coming to fruition in turkey . from live , location - based traffic info to mobile signatures , turkcell boasts millions of users and , although their hands remain firmly in their pockets when it comes to signing up for subscriptions , the carrier has found ways to monetise many of its services . it ' s tone and win ringback tone service , for example , gives users the opportunity to win prizes by allowing advertising to run as their ringback tone and big brands have brought into the concept .
the advertising model has created the means for mobile operators to make money ,
adds serdar .
i think services like tone and win are going to fly . we currently have 250 , 000 subscribers and it ' s at that level because we want to limit it to 250 , 000 while we make sure we ' ve got it right and the offering isn ' t over - intrusive . we don ' t want it to die before it flies so we ' re being careful but by the end of this year , we ' ll have one or two million users depending on how widely we make it available .
serdar is excited by using advertising as a means to monetise and thinks turkey represents and excellent early adopter market , in part as a consequence of its low adsl penetration of 33 % and low gdp .
we have 20 different advertising - funded products already ,
he says .
that ' s probably the largest portfolio in the world after ntt docomo .
alcatel - lucent has launched its ng connect programme , a multi - industry initiative aimed at bringing the benefits of seamless broadband to cars , phones , computers and gaming systems . the program , whose initial members include hp , samsung , buzznet , qnx and others , aims to set up a range of infrastructure , devices , content and applications for fixed and mobile broadband networks including 4g , lte , gpon and other ultra high bandwidth technologies .
tom krause , chief marketing officer at alcatel - lucent thinks the approach will accelerate the development of services to be run over these networks .
as we move into the next phase of the evolution of broadband networks with the advent of ultra high bandwidth systems , it is critical that a broad spectrum of companies - including those from industries that are not normally associated - come together in a strong ecosystem that can effectively innovate , remove business and technical barriers and define new business models ,
he said .
the ng connect programme is an important step in our strategy to create an open ecosystem so that the trusted capabilities of service providers can be combined with the innovation of the web to bring whole new classes of services to market .
the programme has three immediate goals which are to accelerate deployment of new services through pre - integration , identify and prmote new revenue streams and to broaden the wireless broadband device landscape to include consumer electronics , industrial equipment and automotive connectivity .
a lot of the activity will centre around machine to machine communications and one example of the possible applications resulting from the programme is in the automotive sector . dan dodge , ceo of qnx software systems , explains how ng will work .
qnx is excited about what lte can bring to the next - generation connected vehicle . a reliable high - speed connection transforms the user experience : no more hard drive in the car , no more out - of - date navigation and mapping system , and no more visits to the dealer to update your software ,
he says .
the car becomes an internet terminal , an edge device , providing users with real - time access to the latest applications , data , and content . lte complements our own vision of enabling cars that dynamically connect to the internet cloud , to consumer devices , and to one another .
