Indian telcos are joining communication majors such as Vodafone, AT&T and France Telecom in a bid to capitalise on the global boom in the mobile applications space. On Tuesday, mobile operator Aircel, along with software major Infosys, will unveil the country’s first mobile application store.
The concept involves allowing independent software developers to produce a range of applications for Aircel’s customers on a revenue sharing basis. Here, Infosys will provide the IT backbone and software kits that will allow developers to come up with products and services targeting the ‘desi’ user. Globally, developers also sell their applications (called apps) for a one-time fee or even offer it for free as increased usage of their apps drives advertisers to their products and solutions.
