The analyst in the mobile industry Whitey Bluestein, on the Informa MVNO Industry Summit held in Barcelona, said that Apple will directly provide wireless services for the iPad and iPhone users to compete with mobile operators. Bluestein believed that Apple had already had all the key elements, including the world-class brand, distribution network consisting of 363 Apple retail stores and digital content (music, video and applications), and the information of credit card collected from 250 million users through the iTunes. He also noted that Apple was applying for a network infrastructure patent, aiming to march towards the field of mobile communications through this. In October of 2006, before the release of iPhone, Apple applied for a patent, the content of which was to provide wireless services for users directly by using the network of a number of mobile operators. The application became due in the fall of 2011. Bluestein said the patent proved that Apple was exploring ways of directly providing services for users. Bluestein believed that in the near future, Apple will directly provide users with cellular networks, data, voice and roaming services. Initially, the iPad will be bound with the mobile data packages, and the existing way is to bind the AT & T or Verizon data packages. When it specifically comes to the iPhone, Apple will provide users with voice, data and SMS packages. Initially, it will be an optional program, and then it will develop into a user-oriented mobile service operator. Although Google falls behind Apple in the field of technology, channels, and background, Bluestein believed that the company may follow the way of Apple and directly provide mobile communications services for Google Tablet PC. “The battlefield has been identified, but Apple will be the first to launch an offensive,” said Bluestein, “Due to the lack of retail outlets, service experience and ecosystem, Google may be a bit passive. ITunes and the iTunes store will provide a key purchasing and customer service for Apple. Being the same as the past, Google can also get most of the capacity, but this is not the company’s core competitiveness.” Bluestein also predicted that Google would acquire the background provider to help build mobile business. He pointed out that Google had already adapted to this acquisition, acquiring a total number of 79 companies in 2011. The reason why Apple has not yet entered the field of mobile operators is the major U.S. operators provide mobile phones with high subsidies, which constitute a short-term obstacle for Apple. But the company has ample cash, and therefore can bear such costs. What is the most important thing in the game playing? You may guess gold. You are right.
