The SIM card as multimedia storage
Axalto introduces "SIM on the Go" that simply puts all OMA DRM 2.0 protected data on the SIM card. If the user switches phone for whatever reason the data is not lost and can easily be moved elsewhere. Instead the data is tied to the account, so the operator's services can easily tell what data the user owns.
The SIM card needs to house a lot of memory if used for music and other multimedia, but 512 MB SIM cards might be enough for most people.
A possible drawback is that the cost for replacing a lost SIM card will be much higher than it is today.
