Experience counts
Phone.com's customers currently total about 46 mobile operators, or 10 percent of the world's operators, through which it claims to reach 40 percent of world subscribers, and Bird said it aimed to retain a dominant position in future.

Just under half of its current commercial relationships are in the trial phase.

Bird said the loss-making company, which has been developing mobile phone Internet access technology since 1995 -- aims to capitalize on its "first-mover advantage" by having already experienced the technology pitfalls that newcomers encounter.

Global cellphone leaders like Nokia and Ericsson have licensed Phone.com's browser for the U.S. market although he said they are developing their own for Europe, where Phone.com competes with them.

Infrastructure manufacturers including Siemens, Alcatel, Sema and Motorola are reselling Phone.com products -- which Bird said should position the company well for future network upgrades.
