With many operators desperately searching for ways to increase non-voice revenue, the world's top ten non-voice services have been identified in a forthcoming report, The World's Top Ten Non-voice Services for Mobile Operators, by Analysys.

"With falling voice ARPUs, mobile operators now need to drive non-voice services," says co-author Dr Alastair Brydon. "From a vast array of wireless services, we've identified the ten best non-voice services in the world, picking out those exhibiting high market potential, effective implementation and suitability for reproduction on other markets."

The world's top ten non-voice services are:

1. Vodafone's Casa FASTWEB DSL service ( Italy)
2. O2's SMS service ( UK)
3. 3's 3G mobile TV and video streaming service ( UK)
4. T-Mobile's BlackBerry email and instant messaging service ( USA)
5. Sprint Nextel's CDMA2000 EV-DO Revision A mobile broadband
service ( USA)
6. 3's DVB-H mobile TV broadcasting service ( Italy)
7. KDDI au's EZ Chaku-uta Full music downloading service ( Japan)
8. SK Telecom's Cyworld Mobile community portal service ( South Korea)
9. NTT DoCoMo's DCMX mobile credit service ( Japan)
10. Vodafone's MiniCall 'voice SMS' service ( Egypt)

"The top service may be a surprise to some," says Dr Mark Heath, co-author of the report. "However, DSL services can generate average monthly revenue of at least four times current non-voice ARPU levels. All of our top ten have great potential to drive operator ARPU."
