"Although mobile operators have been trying to approach the business market with competitive pricing structures, balancing cheaper data services with the need to increase their data ARPU has proved that pricing of data services is not a very easy thing to do," said Rosie Secchi, research manager at IDC's European Mobility Group, "Mobile operators need to better understand end-user needs. Business segmentation and a more focused strategy towards the mobile business user experience are pivotal elements for the current and future success of mobile data in the enterprise."
