Picture this: MMS at the heart of business
Well well well, picture phoning is not just for pimps, perverts, peeping toms and taking pictures of me on the bus. According to an article in the Vnunet via SMS: Business Gets the Message, MMS's real potential may be as a business tool according to new research by Juniper Research who predict that business applications alone will account for $1.4bn of revenue in 2004.
"MMS could have a wide variety of uses in business, offering industries added value that will translate into revenue for operators.
These uses will be not only an extra channel for revenue generation, but in some cases will change the face of some professions for which the speed and accuracy of visual records is critical.
Estate agents, for example, could use MMS to enter the age of the five-minute house sale by sending images to interested clients."
