The Internet and digital technologies transform our world rapidly and at the same time create new opportunities for large businesses, SMEs and entrepreneurs. It became possible to propose and swiftly implement the new revolutionary ideas that would change the way we used to work, communicate, exchange and manage daily tasks, anywhere where mobile communications have been taking a central place.
The increasing trend of citizens’ mobility worldwide requires seamless interactions per their mobile phones. International calling-rates and roaming cost of mobile communications set restrictions on exchanges many people would prefer to have for their business and personal communications.
IPCO addresses the challenge by offering an open disruptive innovation, specifically by proposing a Cloudfone Visitor Service (CVS) for frequent business travelers, multi-national businesses, foreign workers and long-term tourists. The service will enable the mobile phone users who are in a foreign country to be recognized as local mobile network customers while keeping the same mobile number from a home country as well as the same SIM card. The service eventually would lead to minimization of roaming cost especially for the EU citizens travelling to non-EU countries and vice versa.
IPCO has performed a feasibility study to verify the Cloudfone Visitor Service concept with live demonstrations on mobile infrastructure and standard mobile end-user devices in order to generate the interest and commitment of targeted stakeholders and build a customer satisfaction and confidence while seeking to provide a disruptive innovative solution to the large mobile operators on a global scale.
The feasibility study has verified that the Cloudfone Visitor Service concept gives EU citizens the projected benefits, is possible to implement, attracts interests with potential customers and have a significant market potential.
IPCOs conclusion from the action is to continue with the implementation of the proposed service.
