A new company in the Netherlands called MobiMail is looking to cash in on the strong growth in the mobile messaging market by launching a mobile e-mail service independent of the network operator. MobiMail expects to attract 300,000 users this year for its service, which works with most handsets on the market and offers a low-cost subscription and e-mail address portability. The network operators should benefit from new data service providers like MobiMail, as they generate consumer interest in mobile internet services and boost mobile data traffic.
