Content distribution through operators
If using payment systems of a mobile
network operator, the financial scheme
looks the following way:
The main disadvantage of the existing
system of cooperation between a content
provider and mobile network operator is that
a content provider has to settle all
organizational questions as well as bear all
expenses connected with system launch, its
modernization and support.
Besides, a content provider bears all
expenses for advertisement and royalty.
Content distribution based on prepaid cards
However, the financial scheme changes
considerably with the use of prepaid cards.
Even with the same amount of payments to
the other side (organizer), the partner’s profit
increases due to the reduction of
infrastructure and allocation of expenditures
between the organizer of the system and the
partner which is impossible in case of
cooperation with an operator.
There can also be an intermediate – a
dealer – between the partner and his
customer who represents the interests of the
partner in the business of distribution of
prepaid cards.
