Introduction

Mobile phone subscribers now number 2.8 billion globally—more than double the number of Internet users (Source: GSMA, CDMA Development. Group 9/07). With the rapid growth in this category, it was time for a forum where we can all come together, share information, and stay up to date on the latest developments. That's why we created the MasterCard Mobile Partner Program - a global resource center designed to foster knowledge-sharing and partnership opportunities within the mobile industry. The program connects vendors to each other and MasterCard in the mobile space on a global basis in order to support the delivery of mobile financial services.
