    1. Innovation in the China Mobile Industry MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur May 19, 2008 Bruno Bensaid MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 1 Bruno Bensaid 1

    3. What’s New? Telco reorganization, 3G, Mobile TV… MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 3 Bruno Bensaid 3
    4. China Telecom Industry to Restructure • Emergence of 3 national champions, with fixed and mobile capabilities (Government-led reorganization). To be confirmed: • China Railcom to be merged into China Mobile • China Netcom (fixed line operator) to be merged with China Unicom (GSM network) • Unicom's CDMA business to be merged with China Telecom (largest fixed operator) • TD-SCDMA (China 3G home grown standard) launched with at least one operator (China Mobile). Other standards (WCDMA and/or CDMA2000) will likely co-exist too. MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 4 Bruno Bensaid
    5. 3G finally coming, but the ecosystem is weak • Large scale commercial trial of home-grown technology TD- SCDMA is currently conducted by China Mobile in eight major cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. • China Mobile to provide 20,000 trial users with handsets and data cards free of charge. 40,000 handsets to be rolled out to paid customers soon. • Yet, the ecosystem is not healthy. Commit, a TD-SCDMA design house invested by Nokia, TI, LG (etc) went bankrupt (May 2008). Government backing to TD-SCDMA is weak. • Meanwhile, Edge deployed by China Mobile in tier-1 cities, CDMA1X (Unicom) deployed in key provinces. LTE trialed. MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 5 Bruno Bensaid
    6. Mobile TV standard Also given a Thumbs Up • DMB-T and CMMB main standards adopted by SARFT (State Administration of Radio, Film and Television) for mobile TV. • 6 mobile TV licenses - SMG, CCTV, Beijing TV, Guangdong media group, Renmin Guangbo Diantai, China Radio Int’l. • CMMB used for mobile phones and data connected devices, with interaction and billing. DMB-T to be used on mobile display terminals (transportation) without need for interaction. • CMMB trialed in Beijing, Shanghai & Shenzhen. 90% of Beijing covered, 20 channels offered. Devices from Lenovo, ZTE, Innofidei etc shipping. SMG launching dongles in Shanghai. MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 6 Bruno Bensaid
    7. Market Update China MVAS growth fueled by commoditized services MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 7 Bruno Bensaid 7
    8. Mobile Subscribers growth only getting stronger • 575 Mil Mobile Subscribers (March 2008). +9.4 Mil new mobile subscribers in March. • Net loss of 1.4 Mil subscribers of fixed operators (326 Mil). • Mobile penetration ~ 45% • ~ 60 Bil SMS sent per month (+29% YoY) • 210 Mil Internet subscribers (end 2007), ~ +6 Mil new suscribers / month MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 8 Bruno Bensaid
    9. And so is MVAS growth Wireless value-added services accounted for 25.7% of China Mobile's total income in 2007, with ringback tones, WAP and MMS services all continuing to grow. * Source China Mobile MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 9 Bruno Bensaid
    10. But Innovation does not drive Growth, Mature Services Do • Mature, commoditized services are driving growth, fueled by operators’ walled garden strategies. • The Most Acclaimed applications and services are not the most innovative: IM, Digital Newspaper, short novels/ebooks and Entertainment MVAS dominate (music, logos/pictures, small videos) • Operator walled garden strategy successful. End 2007, China Mobile had 12.81 mln active Fetion (IM) users, 23.55 mln paid mobile newspaper subscribers, and 34.56 mln Wireless Music Club VIP members. MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 10 Bruno Bensaid
    11. 2007 Most acclaimed Mobile Applications • 由《通信产业报》主办的“2007中国手机客户端软件TOP50评选”。Out of 50, the top 20 cover: • 1.手机QQ IM Entertainment • 2.掌上书院 Mobile ebooks • 3.PICA IM • 4.PingCo IM Micro-Blogging • 5.ucweb优视浏览 Mail / browsing • 6.百阅 Mobile ebooks • 7.飞信 IM • 8.空中-Opera2.0 Browsing • 9.手机MSN IM • 10.百灵鸟音乐客户端 wap platform • 11.手机大头 IM Entertainment Browsing • 12.掌讯通 Mobile ebooks Entertainment • 13.掌媒 Mobile ebooks • 14.维信 Mobile Widgets • 15.胖葫芦 Mobile Widgets • 16.网秦手机杀毒 Anti-virus • 17.凤凰移动台 Entertainment • 18.MM狂下载 Entertainment • 19.V8书客 Mobile ebooks • 20.贝多 IM MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 11 Bruno Bensaid
    12. Yet, too little innovation could lead to failure • By end 2007, Fetion (China Mobile IM service) had over 73 million registered users with about 67 million addition in 2007, but only 12.8 million are active users. • Despite solid growth, real usage is actually down (10% only of H2’2007 additions are really active, compared with 30% in H1’2007). • Reflects the limited growth potential of Fetion, which most of users use for free SMS communication between PC and mobile phone (compared with Tencent’s QQ complete suite of services using IM as a pillar). MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 12 Bruno Bensaid
    13. Mobile Innovators in China Making the Most of 2.5G networks MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 13 Bruno Bensaid 13
    14. Mobile 2.0 in China is Late but Youth are driving usage • Widsets (Mobile Widgets) reached “only” 3 mil users by end 2007, in a ~ 50-60 Mil Active Mobile Internet users population (the real mobile internet potential population is 3x higher). Hard to call it a success! • But outlook is positive. Recent research indicate Youth will drive mobile 2.0 usage: • 31% Youth used mobile phones to access the Internet in the past six months (40.2% with College students, the highest usage among all populations surveyed) Source: CNNIC April 2008 MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 14 Bruno Bensaid
    15. Barriers to Innovation - I Political Reasons • Payment mechanisms with operators are mature and varied (SMS, WAP etc), but made difficult to implement if Service Providers / Content Providers have not reached a “critical mass”. • Walled gardens is a real threat. Once popular, a service can virtually be monopolized and run by China Mobile and kick early entrant out. • Late entrants Innovators clearly discouraged to operate independently or face heavy losses in the first years (leveraging too much on ad rather than paid services) MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 15 Bruno Bensaid
    16. Barriers to Innovation - II Technical and Marketing Reasons • slow speeds are slowing down innovation and adoption (though the infrastructure is massively upgraded to Edge or CDMA 1x, and TD-SCDMA now trialed on large scale) • Flat rates or quasi-flat rates are back, but not communicated well enough. Data packages are confusing • No or little service is bundled with data packages (except overly expensive Blackberry data package and service, a possible failure) MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 16 Bruno Bensaid
    17. Barriers to Innovation - III Cultural Reasons • Competitors don’t cooperate in China! - Most popular web and mobile platforms are still proprietary (“silo mentality”). When API is open, it is limited in scope. • Few platforms enable mashups and interoperability. • Older netizens generation is a BBS generation (anonymous). Moving towards SNS (public) is slow, but Younger generation, self-conscious and open, will drive adoption of new services and social networks. MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 17 Bruno Bensaid
    18. Established Innovators • Tencent still leading the train of innovation, leveraging on their integrated suit of free and paid services, across mobile and online platforms (and in process of opening their QQ SDK). • Baidu, online search leader (80% market share) successfully launched its wap suit of services and is following with tons online/mobile (just launched an IM client, Baidu Hi). Expect strong content innovation in 2008-2009, as search is the entry point to other services MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 18 Bruno Bensaid
    19. 2007 Adopted Innovations • Mobile Advertising established in the landscape (but no real expectation on revenue until 2010). • IM feature a must, in proprietary format or open source. • VoIP calls, call-back and push-to-talk (Vivame, Bedo) • Click-to-call very popular (after search results or banner based, like with MadHouse) • Photo/video sharing and geo-tagging (more recent) • Content compression widely adopted • Mobile Clients, like GGlive (3G.cn) enable rich content streaming and TV-like experience. • Free content with advertising (Datuu, 5MM etc). MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 19 Bruno Bensaid
    20. 2008 Innovation Trends • For SNS, location-aware features will be key (POI, discovery of friends in the vicinity etc), using GPS or cell ID (Bedo, Gypsii, Mimo etc). • Information organized into CHANNELS: o Customized Search, pre-arranged or pre-fetched search content (Datuu, Roboo, Cgogo etc). o 3rd generation mobile browsers (client-server) enabling content categorization and behavioral features, helping prioritize content downloaded (Dratek, Datuu etc). • M-commerce should emerge (NFC payment trial in Shanghai, or wap-based m-payment, like with 3G.cn), But mobile widgets and RSS still niche (Panghulu…) MobileMonday Global Summit 2008 – Kuala Lumpur – May 19, 2008 20 Bruno Bensaid

    23. Tencent’s QQ Labs at the cornerstone of innovation • In-house R&D (QQ labs) enabling diversification into casual games, CtoC , In large cities, such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Entreprise IM, Blogs, wap portal, bookmarks, video download, online and penetration has reached over 100%. Subscribers growth is now mobile ad serving etc. occurring in 2-tier and 3-tier cities as well as rural townships.
