obile technologies have grown tremendously in the past ten years. In the United States in 1999 there were 36.7 users per 100 people (Akiyoshi & Ono, 2008). In 2005, there were 94,745,000 mobile phone subscribers in Japan and 201,650,000 mobile phone subscribers in the United States, while in 2009 Japan's mobile phone subscribers grew to 107,490,000 subscribers and the United States grew to 285,610,580 million subscribers, a growth rate of 13.5% in Japan and 41.8% in the United States. Interesting enough, most cell phone subscribers are more likely to have a higher education, a higher income, have a full time job, and are usually married with children (

“…The i-mode and business ecosystem Within Japan's mobile arena, one of NTT DoCoMo's key visionaries behind the launch of i-mode, Takeshi Natsuno, does not use Porter's value system concept in explaining Japan's mobile market. Instead, he chooses the term "ecosystem" to describe DoCoMo's approach to creating successful advanced mobile data solutions in Japan (Moore 1993;Vesa 2005;Sugai et al 2010).…”

“…In Japan, on the contrary, network operators are the nucleus of the wireless industry. In fact, they are considered "benevolent dictators" (Sugai et al 2010): They dictate specifications to handset manufacturers in return for endorsing these specifications. On average, network operators have agreed to subsidize up to 50 percent of the R&D costs required to develop these phones.…”

This paper tries to identify what shapes the mobile services industry and what changes will take place to the worldwide mobile business. Two case markets are introduced for comparison and analysis: Japan and Finland. Japan is an exemplar country where both the mobile subscription penetration rate and the revenue from data transfer are world record high. Finland is a birthplace of the world’s leading handset manufacturer as well as the center for a substantial number of innovations in Europe. The two countries represent a stark contrast in the industry structure: vertical and integrated vs. horizontal and modular. After an in-depth comparison of the two markets, a brief prospect of the future mobile industry is provided.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the key uncertainties and to construct alternative future scenarios for Internet content delivery. The relative positions and roles of different actors and content delivery technologies in each scenario are then discussed. As traffic volume rapidly grows, the current Internet architecture faces scalability issues. To meet the demand, technical solutions utilizing caching and name-based routing are developed. Design/methodology/approach – This work followed a scenario planning process, and two workshops were organized for identifying the key trends and uncertainties. Industry architecture notation was used to systematically illustrate and compare the constructed scenarios. Findings – Of the 94 forces identified, the revenue model and Internet service provider's (ISP’s) role in content provision were singled out as the two most important uncertainties, upon which four scenarios were constructed. In-network caching technologies are strong candidates in ISP-dominated scenarios. Content delivery networks are more likely outcomes in scenarios, where content providers’ role is significant. Research limitations/implications – The paper focuses on qualitative analysis of scenarios. Utilizing, for instance, system dynamics to model interdependencies between the trends and uncertainties could provide a path toward quantitative analysis. Originality/value – The paper increases understanding of relative positions and roles of different actors and technologies in possible future scenarios. The findings are important, especially for ISPs, content providers and technology vendors. The scenarios can be used to identify desirable futures and strategies to achieve them and to make informed choices in technology design to meet the demands of key actors.
