Abstract: Internet Protocol (IP) convergence has been identified as the next discontinuity in the mobile telecommunications business. IP convergence brings together technologies and services from the mobile and internet domains. One of the challenges caused by this discontinuity is to create a profitable business model for the IP convergence era. This study provides two frameworks: one for describing and building, the other for evaluating business models. Based on four existing business models, six alternative scenarios of business models for mobile IP software application business are created. This paper also gives a proposal on how to evaluate the business models using the defined evaluation framework.
