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:
“Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding, for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 3:13-18.
“Fair Hope! our earlier Heaven! by thee
Young Time is taster to Eternity.
The generous wine with age grows strong, not sour,
Nor need we kill thy fruit to smell thy flower.
Thy golden head never hangs down
Till in the lap of Love’s full noon
It falls and dies: Oh no, it melts away
As doth the dawn into the day,
As lumps of sugar lose themselves, and twine
Their subtle essence with the soul of wine.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
