Available Revenue Time

In the wireless industry, available revenue time (ART) is the amount of user time available from which mobile carriers may generate revenue. For example, using a wireless mobile device for 60 minutes has enabled the carrier on whose telecommunications network the user's device is operating to generate revenue for 60 minutes. Revenue is typically generated by billing for services such as SMS, mobile video, mobile TV, or other multi-media options typical in modern convergent devices.

Famous quotes containing the words revenue and/or time:

    “If you tax too high, the revenue will yield nothing.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
