MARKET DEFINITION. Let’s consider a database of suppliers where information can be obtained about the availability of a set of items, but suppliers are somewhat screened. Suppliers could be ven- dors whose typical line of business does not include those products or wish to get rid of some remainders, or individu- als (prosumers) who happen to have those products in their availability. For example, the database could contain the number of items available for sale at each supplier, so that the vertical sum across all suppliers included in the database would tell us the overall number of items available. Such a database, providing statistics about the entities included in it, is called a statistical database [11]. However, in a sta- tistical database releasing statistical information may com- promise the privacy of individual contributors. But suppliers may wish not to divulge those information; for example they do not want competitors (who could access the database) to know their level of stock, or, as individuals, they do not wish to be profiled about the items they own. If suppliers wish to be screened, a curator may sit between the users, posing the query, and the database. The responses to these queries may be modified by the curator in order to protect the pri- vacy of the contributors [2], for example so as not to tell us exactly either which supplier can provide us with those items or how many items in the set are available. Instead of providing the exact number, the database provides us with an obfuscated number, which is more or less close to the exact figure. A mechanism to achieve differential privacy is the use of noisy sums: the response to a counting query is the sum of the true figure and some noise [3]. The use of a statistical database plus the use of noisy sums may therefore protect the private information of suppliers. When end customers demand for a number of items, the uncertainty surrounding the actual availability of those items doesn’t allow to close deals. In the presence of such privacy constraints, we postulate that a market can develop through the introduction of a broker/producer and the use of option contracts. Let’s consider the case where end customers demand for k∗ items. A broker commits to provide them with the num- ber of items required. In fact, the broker may procure those items either by producing them itself (at a unit production cost cp) or by resorting to privacy-aware suppliers, whose availability is known through the statistical da...

MARKET DEFINITION. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) defined SMS in the first phase of the GSM (Global Service for Mobile Communication) standard in 1989. It is widely believed that the first ‘short message’ was sent in December of 1992 from a personal computer to a mobile phone on the Vodafone GSM network in the UK. It wasn’t until 1994 that SMS became a commercially available product to mobile subscribers. In Europe, SMS quickly took off as an effective means of communicating between two parties, and perhaps more importantly at the time, a less expensive alternative to voice calls. Youths were the fastest to adapt to SMS, transforming it into somewhat of a generation symbol. Mass-market acceptance quickly took shape as the user base expanded beyond the youth segment. The MobileMail Technology Partnership LLP 0000000.1 European wireless network operators and service providers alike recognised SMS as a lucrative business opportunity, as the service could be offered without significant capital investment in the carrier’s network, and at minimal variable operating costs. SMS also offered tremendous opportunities to strengthen customer loyalty and generate significant additional revenue streams through the development of premium-based SMS services. Today SMS is among the most widely used features available to mobile phone users worldwide. According to the GSM Association, a record of 15 billion SMS were sent over the world's GSM wireless networks during December 2000. The GSM Association estimates that the total number for 2001 was 250 billion. By far the greatest usage of traffic is generated by consumer applications. The European success with SMS-services spread to the rest of the wireless world in the nineties, and was soon adapted for most markets. Today the highest number of messages per user is today to be found in the Philippines closely followed by the Nordic countries. The last large region to adapt to the concept of messaging has been North America, but the growth is numbers of messages in the US and Canada has been similar to that in Europe since the concept was commercially promoted nationwide in the US for the first time during Superbowl 2002. Because of this, it’s realistic to anticipate that North America will catch up with the rest of the world within the next 2-3 years. The tremendous growth in messaging around the world is the result of a high growth in mobile penetration in most markets, general adaptation of the concept among broad r...
