SIM Summit 2007, April 2007, Prague

The revised format of the 12th annual SIM Summit produced a highly interactive and inspiring forum in Prague last month. Featuring a dual stream format, with keynote interviews and ten lively panel debates, it was clear that the decision to broaden the scope of the event was well received by all 200 international attendees!

With this year's focus on business strategies as well as technical solutions the summit provided an all-encompassing study of the role of the SIM in increasing operator revenues. Other key issues raised and discussed and debated at the summit included:

• The importance of the SIM in the ARPU strategy
• Maximising the potential of STK
• What will the U-SIM be used for?
• Will the high cost of USB technology prevent handsets being developed?
• How can the cost of the high-capacity cards be reduced?
• Which SIM-based applications are the most successful?
• The role of the SIM in telematics and fleet management
• NFC - overblown hype or the true promise of mobile commerce?
• Technical implications of linking the MDM platform and the SIM
• Impact on CAPEX and OPEX of combining the SIM and MDM
• SIM-based mobile banking
• The SIM's role in determining the phone to be one essential item you must leave home with
• The value of m-payments - to operator and subscriber
• The benefits of linking the SIM card with Zigbee
• Using the SIM to maintain the operator's role in the Mobile TV value chain
