“Mobile Accelerator aims at accelerating and optimizing the web, content, network and mobile applications, in order to improve business strength and user quality of experience,” the report stated.
“The technology helps network providers to overcome problems such as latency, round trip time and improves scalability, availability and performance, thereby minimizing complexity for mobile users. Increase in the worldwide data consumption, combined with the escalating need for mobility has led to the migration of desktop users to mobile-based platforms.”
With increase in bandwidth, even in emerging markets such as Africa, local content will be needed to deliver messages and entertainment to mobile users in the continent.
Services like these will boost the data usage for telecom companies and this in turn gives them the needed revenue alternative from voice and text.
