What industry problems does eBIZ.mobility solve? |
A: |
eBIZ.mobility solves the dual problems of enabling non-mobile network operators to profit from high volume mobile digital content while at the same time enabling mobile network operators to continue to profit from growing customer demand for unrestricted surfing of the world wide web with its wealth of off-portal content, as well as enabling full portability of M-commerce services while roaming. |

What is OneTouch Online Purchasing™? |
A:
|
eBIZ.mobility offers OneTouch Online Purchasing™ through our unique RMG™ Payment Gateway software platform that employs our proprietary Federated Payment™ technology. Our product suite enables consumers to purchase from ANY content provider that installs Federated Payment technology anywhere in the world. Due to the distributed architecture of our product with its built-in viral-like expansion capability, content providers do not need to pre-register with, nor even be aware of the Telco or service provider that each consumer uses. |

Who benefits with eBIZ.mobility's Federated Payment Technology? |
A:
|
eBIZ.mobility's patent pending RMG payment gateway with its unique Federated Payment Technology integrates risk management, content protection and secure purchasing for the entire value chain:
- Telcos and ISPs leverage their large customer base and existing billing systems to evolve from low-margin fixed-fee 'Conduit' providers to 'Retailers' of high-margin added value services. Our products help Telcos and service providers generate more revenue from the digital content that passes through their networks, and reduce customer 'Churn' in the process.
- Content Providers get continuous access control to prevent revenue loss from 'Leakage', and receive more revenue from each sale.
- Consumers improve their on-line experience with secure and convenient OneTouch Online Purchasing™.

Q:
|
What is the market potential for digital content? |
A:
|
The Digital Content Payment Processing Market is Growing Rapidly-
Digital content purchases (ringtones, videos, music, games) will exceed $11.5 Billion by 2009 (Tower Group). This market will generate $345M in payment processing revenues for digital content alone. Yet Telcos are not getting their fare share of these sales. As Vodafone and Orange in the UK report, 70% of content passing through their networks is not purchased through their portal (i.e., off-portal or third party). In addition, landline Telcos and ISPs are desperate to participate in this added value service opportunity, while content providers are concerned about significant lost revenue due to 'Leakage'. |
Q:
|
Does eBIZ.mobility's Federated Payment Technology provide OneTouch Online Purchasing™ only for digital content? |
A:
|
No. OneTouch Online Purchasing™ can be used to purchase from any on-line merchant that installs Federated Payment. However, since digital content is usually a micropayment (i.e., under US$10), it is a good place to start since it represents very low risk to consumers. It is also a good place to start for merchants, since it gives digital content providers a more secure outlet to sell their wares in a highly competitive environment. |
Q:
|
Is eBIZ.mobility's Federated Payment Technology only for mobile network operators? |
A:
|
No. With eBIZ.mobility's Federated Payment Technology any service provider -including landline telcos - with whom a subscriber has a regular trusted billing relationship could profit from the ever-expanding market of digital content. |
Q:
|
Isn't this handled by standards? |
A:
|
Not completely. Standards give only partial treatment to on-line payment. |
Q:
|
Don't phone companies already handle this? |
A:
|
Not yet. Before Federated Payment came onto the scene, phone companies were limited to being able to bill for content services only if they and the content provider had gone through the tedious and costly effort of establishing a direct and formal billing relationship. |
Q:
|
Does a customer's identity get passed to an on-line merchant? |
A:
|
No. Using eBIZ.mobility's innovative Federated Payment technology and OneTouch Online Purchasing™ single sign-on service, merchants would know nothing about the consumer; only that they will get paid for the transaction. Only the network operator or service provider knows the consumer's identity. |
Q:
|
Does OneTouch Online Purchasing™ need to be the exclusive payment method for an on-line merchant or content provider? |
A:
|
No. OneTouch Online Purchasing™ can be deployed as simply another payment option. |
Q:
|
What types of billing and payment systems are compatible with the RMG payment gateway solution? |
A:
|
The RMG payment gateway is compatible with any system that conforms to OSA/Parlay industry standards- as is the trend for market leading systems. |
Q:
|
Can we interface our internally developed mobile payment system with the RMG payment gateway? |
A:
|
Yes, if either it conforms to OSA/Parlay industry standards or by working with the eBIZ.mobility integration team to customize an interface. |
Q:
|
I am a digital content provider, how can I add OneTouch Online Purchasing™ as a payment option? |
A:
|
It's simple. If you have not yet already been contacted by a Federated Payment Provider in your area, please let us know, and we will get you signed up. |
Q:
|
I am a consumer, how can I use OneTouch Online Purchasing™ as a payment option? |
A:
|
