End2End (http://www.end2endmobile.com/) is a managed service provider,
and content/application aggregator, for mobile data services.

I am looking for a comprehensive list of global competitors to
End2End, covering (i) company name and URL, (ii) summary of product
and services offered, (iii) company size (employees, number of
customers, revenues) where pubicly available, (iv) geographic areas
covered by (a) direct offices, (b) main indirect channels, and (c)
main (publicly known) customers.

Clarification of Question by cybaea-ga on 19 Dec 2003 00:54 PST

Points (iii) and (iv) are nice-to-have, not essential for the
response.  The key is a list of companies in this particular industry
segment with a brief summary of what they do.

If you crack this one, I'd be interested in how you did the search but
again that is nice-to-have, not essential.

Hi! Thanks for the question

I have found the following international competitors for End2End. Some
companies provide information to its financial resources so you can
see their revenue figures there. I will post a link to them as well
whenever available and possible.

Search Strategy Used:

I first searched for the terms ?managed service provider? and ?mobile
data services?. When I found Moviso and Openwave as competitors in the
Industry for End2End I used all their names in the search box. I was
able to come up with these two identical documents listing content
providers like End2End.

?Leading Providers?
http://www.mobile-metrix.com/leading_providers.htm 

?The Mobile Internet Directory: Global directory and company profiles
of mobile application and content providers?
http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:lBMuTseURMcJ:www.researchandmarkets.com/pdfGeneration/getpdf.asp%3FID%3D1283+end2end+moviso&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

I found this big list of companies so I examined each of them. Most of
them however, only provide a subset product and service that End2End
offers so I didn?t consider them as main competitors. Those not
included usually specialize in providing games and entertainment
content for mobile network providers.

I hope these links would help you in your research. Before rating this
answer, please ask for a clarification if you have a question or if
you would need further information.

Good job!  Well done finding that mobile metrix list and thanks for
the effort spent in reducing it.

You saved me a couple of hours that I didn't have.  Small tip added
for speedy reponse.  I'll be back for more later.  Happy Christmas.

Thank you cybaea-ga for the kind words and for the generous tip!

Have a Blessed Christmas! :)
