The Opportunity

Operators are facing unprecedented growth in mobile data usage and looking for ways to deliver new services and value for their customers. The worldwide market for services including peer-to-peer messaging, games, entertainment, and workplace tools is rapidly expanding.

Users who play games, watch videos and send messages are showing an insatiable appetite for mobile services but are facing numerous challenges:

• Too many apps for consumers to manage efficiently
• No address book has all social handles, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses in one place
• Separate non-optimized mobile applications drain handset batteries
• Bill shock when they find they have exceeded their ‘unlimited’ data bundle
• No user friendly payment solution for applications and services through standard the phone bill

Operators are also seeing increased costs in keeping up with bandwidth demand and increased device returns due to the multitude of applications on handsets.

Jibe’s mission is to help operators overcome these challenges, and spur the growth of compelling new rich application and messaging services for subscribers.
