Re: Revenue sharing - Europe

Hi Pedro, All,

I can give you the example of the figures for a French mobile operator,
which are to my knowledge pretty normal in Europe in general.

In fact, this operator uses two types of revenue sharing based on the
efforts of the operator and the efforts of the developer:
- application distributed by the operator on its own portal (i.e.
operator takes care of everything including publicity, marketing,
billing, hosting,
etc.): the revenues are for about 30 to 40% reversed to the developer in
this case
- application distributed using the "kiosk" model (based on the French
Minitel); this means that the developer takes care of publication of the
applications catalogue, publicity/communication, marketing, etc. and the
operator mainly provides the billing mechanism (on the monthly invoice
of the customer) and access to the site from an aggregator site. In this
model the revenues are for 70% reversed to the developer

When trying to talk to this operator, all requests pass by its
developers website which allows proposing finished applications or
proposals for application development.

Best regards,
Thomas Vergouwen
