Source text - Romanian Lupta mesajelor multimedia in Europa
Operatorii Telecom spera ca noul serviciu sa ia avant
Hannover, Germany – La ziua lui de nastere, augustul trecut, sotia lui Andrew Finkelstein’s i-a cumparat o camera atasabila noului sau mobil cu ecran color.
La inceput, comerciantul financiar de 34 ani din orasul Londra gasea amuzant sa trimita prietenilor fotografii prin posta electronica dar nu a mai folosit camera in ultimele cateva luni. ”Este ca o jucarie, apoi te indrepti catre noi jucarii”. ”Nu are aplicatii practice”
Asta nu e ceva ce operatorii de telefonie mobila din Europa si US vor sa auda.
Operatorii sunt angajati sa convinga clientii sa-si foloseasca telefoanele pentru a trimite unii-altora fotografii si mesaje audio. Mesageria Multimedia sau MMS, cum sunt cunoscute aceste servicii, considerate cea mai mare speranta a operatorilor, de dezvoltare majora a noilor surse de venit adaugandu-se la cele din mesajele text. Dar la aproape 1 an dupa lansarea in Europa a MMS, serviciul lupta inca sa castige teren.
In U.S. operatorii abia au inceput sa ofere MMS
T-Mobile, o unitate a Deutche Telecom AG si promotor al MMS a spus saptamana trecuta ca s-au vandut 500.000 accesorii MMS in Europa si in US pana la sfarsitul lui Ianuarie si in decursul lui Ianuarie au fost trimise de catre clienti 500.000 de mesaje cu imagine. Asta indica faptul ca cei care au telefoane cu MMS trimit in medie doar 1 sau 2 fotografii pe luna. Totusi, o telefonista de la T-Mobile spune ca numarul mesajelor trimise in reteaua lor a fost dublata in decembrie fata de noiembrie si increderea companiei in folosire acestora continua sa creasca. Cativa analisti cred ca cel tarziu inainte de 2007 serviciul va devenii un fenomen de piata.O piedica este faptul ca operatorii au incetinit aranjarea unor intelegeri cu alti operatori pentru a permite trimiterea mesajelor de la retea la alta.
Mai important, accesoriile MMS si serviciile sunt la un pret prea mare pentru un grup de utilizatori – adolescenti, care sunt utilizatori infocati de mesaje text.
T-Mobile taxeaza MMS diferit de la tara la tara, dar in U.K clientii platesc 35 pence (51 centi in Europa) pentru a trimite mesaje fotografii sau le pot cumpara inainte ca de exemplu 10 mesaje pentru 2.50£. Aparatele cu camera incorporata cu rezolutie buna a ecranelor color se vand normal cu 200 Euro in Europa si face parte din contractul de service.
Translation - English Multimedia Messaging Struggles in Europe
Telecom Operators Hope That the New Service Will Gain Momentum
HANNOVER, Germany – On his birthday last August, Andrew Finkelstein’s wife bought him camera attachment for his new color-screen mobile phone.
At first, the 34-year-old financial trader in the City of London had some fun sending friends pictures via e-mail, but he hasn’t used camera for the past few months. ”It’s like toy, then you move on to new toys”, he says. ”There are zero practical applications.”
That isn’t what mobile-phone operators in Europe and The U.S. want to hear.
The operators are engaged in a big push to persuade their customers to use their phones to send each other pictures and audio messages. Multimedia messaging, or MMS, as these services are known, is widely regarded as operator’s best hope of developing a major new source of revenue to add to voice calls and text messages. But almost a year after MMS was fist launched in Europe, the service is still struggling to gain momentum.
In the U.S. operators are just beginning to offer MMS. 38312dbd32tsq5t
T-Mobile, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG and an MMS pioneer, said last week that it sold 500.000 MMS handsets in Europe and the U.S. by end of January, and during January 500.000 picture messages were sent by its customers. That suggests people with MMS phones are sending on average just one or two pictures a months. However, a T-Mobile spokeswoman says the number of MMS messages sent on its networks doubled from November to December and the company is confident usage will continue to grow. But some analysts now believe it could be as late as 2007 before the service becomes a mass-market phenomena. One stumbling block is that operators have been slow to set up agreements with other operators that allow messages to be sent from one network to another.
More important, MMS handsets and services appear to be priced too high for a key group of users-teenagers, who are typically avid users of text messaging.
T-Mobile’s MMS charges vary by country, but in the U.K., customers have to pay 35 pence (51 European cents) to send a picture message or they can buy bundles up front, such as 10messages for £2.50. Handsets with built –in cameras and high-definition color screens typically retail for 200 E in Europe as part of a service contract.

Experience
Years of experience: 17. Registered at ProZ.com: Aug 2009.
I began to deal with translation in 2005, initially at the request of acquaintances, then - based on their recommendations - and to others, especially in the language pair English <> Romanian.
Besides the quality criterion attaches great importance to punctuality, accountability, so the timeliness made, for exceeding the customer can cause major damage.
Because I would like to drive as supplemented with punctuality and responsibility, I'm not employed to do translation when you can not ensure compliance.
My goal is to provide a quality service and forming a long-term business relationships based on respect and trust.
Translation for me is not merely a simple filling free time or income, is also a passion and a challenge to complete projects out so that the client will always be happy.
