BREW and Java have a lot in common. Most notably, both will provide Carriers with new revenue streams and the ability to increase the Average Revenue Per User. Yes, ARPU! Technology is great - but let's talk money! Experts on BREW and Java will provide an overview on the Business Models that both BREW and Java can provide to Carriers in the very near term - 2002 and beyond. We'll give you the quick premier on what is important to know about BREW and Java and then...we'll explore the important issues. What scenarios can Carriers expect to have as options to increase their bottom-line.
