Nokia Rolls Out Mobility Hosting Solution

Nokia introduced a Mobility Hosting solution that helps mobile service providers roll out new services for subscribers while keeping investments in check. The hosting models enables operators to share initial start-up costs.



Nokia expects the market for mobile hosting to grow sharply in the coming years as operator competition intensifies. Research group Ovum forecasts the size of the hosting market to double to 1.35 billion EURs by 2009 from around 670 million in 2005.



Nokia already offers managed services to mobile operators.



Separately, Nokia announced it had won a push to talk (PoC) hosting trial agreement with Mobitel Slovenia. In 2005, Nokia won push to talk hosting agreements with mobilkom austria and 3 Scandinavia, and Nokia is currently in hosting solution talks with a number of service providers across the globe.
