            device OEMs to survive long-term
   9.   Tablets (iPads) has created a new computing paradigm that is having a significant impact on commerce,
        content consumption, and developer investments
        –   Apple will continue to dominate the segment and iOS will be the leading OS for the segment. Amazon, ZTE, Huawei, to chip away at
            the sub-$200 tier

MOBILE IMPACTS EVERYTHING
Mobile Apps and Services


Mobile is fundamentally reshaping how we as consumers
spend from housing and healthcare to entertainment and
travel, from food and drinks to communication and
transportation. Mobile not only influences purchase behavior
but also post purchase opinions. When the share button is
literally a second away, consumers are willingly sharing more
information than ever before.
Mobile is thus helping close the nirvana gap for brands and
advertisers who seek to connect advertising to actual
transactions. The long-term battle is however for owning the
context of the users. Having the best knowledge about the
user to help drive the transaction is the simply the most
valuable currency of commerce. The day is not far when
mobile commerce will dominate all digital commerce.

MOBILE SUBSCRIBER AND REVENUE
GROWTH
The Big Picture
•    The global mobile industry is the most vibrant and fastest growing industry. We expect the total
     revenue in the industry to touch approximately $1.5 Trillion in 2012 with mobile data representing
     28% of the mix. Mobile data services revenue stood at 33%. Global Mobile Data revenues eclipsed
     $300 Billion for the first time in 2011. It is also the first year in which non-messaging data revenues
     will make up the majority of the overall global data revenues at 53%.
•    By the end of 2011, the global subscriptions exceeded 6 Billion. The first 1 billion took over 20 years
     and this last one took only 15 months. The primary growth drivers are India and China which are
     cumulatively adding 75M new subs every quarter. China became the first country to eclipse the 1
     billion mark in March 2012. India is likely to arrive at the milestone by early 2013.
•    Smartphones are driving tremendous growth around the globe. Amongst the major markets, US
     leads with 69% sales. The global figure stands at approximately 32%. Some operators expect 90-
     95% of their device sales to be smartphones in 2012. In terms of the actual smartphone
     penetration, we expect the US market to eclipse the 50% mark in 2012.
•    China leads in the number of subs but US dominates in both total and data revenue. A number of
     emerging nations are now in top 10 – Brazil, India, Russia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mexico while once
     dominant – Korea, UK, Italy, Germany have dropped off or slipped in rankings.
•    The number of mobile operators with more than $1B in data revenues will increase to 50 in 2012.
     This number was only at 13 in 2005.

GLOBAL MARKETS: DATA GROWTH
US, Japan lead in revenues;
China, India in subscriptions

• Japan continues to be the leader in mobile data with NTT DoCoMo,
  KDDI, and Softbank Japan ahead of the pack in terms of mobile data
  revenue and data as a % of total ARPU. Country average is now at
  60%.
• Next, Australia and the US have made good inroads in the last two
  years. In fact, if we look at the overall data revenue, US is much
  further ahead than any other nation due to the size of the market.
• While India has the highest subscriber growth rate in the world
  right now, the revenue generating opportunity remain down right
  anemic compared to other major markets with average dropping
  down to $2.50 in overall ARPU. Even with significant subscriber
  base, there is going to be a general lack of opportunity in the
  market for the next couple of years relative to other markets.

DEVICES: CHANGING LANDSCAPE
Devices – Apple, Android Dominate

•   Apple has had the tablet space to itself. Thus far the response from the competitors has been tepid esp. on the
    pricing dimension. Apple has had such a mastery over the supply-chain and months ahead of the competition
    that by the time they figure out details, Apple already locks up the pricing advantage for the cycle. OEMs try to
    catch-up on the features but can’t do on the margins. OEMs can grow the pie by bringing products at a better
    price points that helps attract different demographics to the mix. Microsoft can make good inroads into the
    space with its Win8 tablet release in 2012 but it will be again in a catch-up mode as the iOS ecosystem will be
    even more robust by then. The cheaper Android tablets will do well in the market. As expected, tablets will
    pretty much eliminate the need for netbooks and are starting to eat into the desktop/laptop revenue.
•   Apple and Samsung are strong on the top. Huawei and ZTE are coming up strong from the bottom. The middle
    tier players will have a tough time going forward.
•   It will be difficult for pureplay device OEMs to survive long-term.
•   Nokia and RIM are under severe market scrutiny as investors and developers leave in droves. Lack of product
    planning and execution has left their market share in disarray. Nokia’s valuation has been cut into half. Nokia’s
    release of N9 shows the engineering and creative design depth but a lot is riding on the first generation of
    Nokia Windows Phones (Lumia). While the market hasn’t shown much appetite for Windows phone thus far, a
    good family of devices might be able to slow the loss trajectory and position the combined team for the up-for-
    grabs 3rd spot in the ecosystem. Given that the computing is shifting to mobile devices, we can expect some of
    the weaker desktop/laptop players will exit the industry.
•   Majority of the tablet use is in the WiFi mode because the primary use case is indoors and WiFi gives a better
    (and cheaper) user experience. However, of the users who use cellular, the churn is low. Once operators start to
    roll out user-friendly family data plans across multiple devices, we can expect the cellular activation go higher
    (e.g. Rogers, Vodafone Spain) but will still be dominated by WiFi overall.

VAS AND OTT
The Big Picture
• The traditional operator revenue streams of
   –   Voice – declining and under threat from VoIP
   –   Messaging – flattening/declining and under threat from IP messaging
   –   Access – rising but margins are shrinking fast
   –   VAS – declining in proportion to the growth of smartphones
• Operators are fighting back with
   – Voice – launching their own VoIP apps e.g. Bobsled from T-Mobile,
     partnering with VoIP players e.g. Skype integration, charging for VoIP
     apps e.g. TeliaSonera €6/month
   – Messaging – launching their own IP messaging apps e.g. Huddle from
     AT&T, partnering with IP messaging players e.g. Whatsapp partnership
   – Access – Tiering
   – VAS – launch their own VAS apps and industry vertical apps and
     services

MOBILE DATA TRAFFIC GROWTH
Mobile Data Traffic Growth


• In most western markets, data traffic is
  doubling YOY
• Sweden, Finland, Hong Kong, and US make the
  top 4 in terms of MB consumed per capita
• A Multi-pronged approach is needed to have a
  sustainable strategy long term

Only a holistic strategy to deal with data
tsunami can help the operators long-term

  •   As a result of the data tsunami, there are two types of opportunities that are being
      created, one that take advantage of the data being generated in a way that enhances
      the user experience and provides value and the other in technologies that help manage
      the traffic data that will continue to grow exponentially.
  •   To be able to stay ahead of the demand, significant planning needs to go in to deal with
      the bits and bytes that are already exploding. New technical and business solutions will
      be needed to manage the growth and profit from the services. Relying on only one
      solution won’t be an effective strategy to manage rising data demand. A holistic
      approach to managing data traffic is needed and our analysis shows that the cost
      structure can be reduced by more than half if a suite of solutions are deployed vs. a
      single dimensional approach and thus bringing the hockey stick curves of data cost
      more in line with the revenues and thus preserving the margins.
  •   The decision making process within the operator organizations will need to be
      streamlined as well. Operators should also consider creating a senior post which
      focuses on both the cost side and the solution side so they can devise and institute a
      sustainable long-term policy and keep the margins healthy.

GLOBAL MARKETS – COMPETITIVE
DYNAMICS
Changing Ecosystem Dynamics


It is very clear that the ecosystem dynamics can change very quickly,
one just can’t take the competitive and friendly forces for granted. In
the past, the silos and segments were clearly defined with little
overlap. However, over the course of last couple of years, players have
been migrating and surfing in segments across the board - from Apple
to Visa, from P&G to AT&T, from Facebook to Time Warner, from
Google to Best Buy, every company wants to capture the mindshare
and piece of the consumer’s pocketbook.

The fine line between partners and competitors can get obliterated in
a quarter. Apple is competing with Cisco, Comcast is going after AT&T’s
business, Visa and Verizon want to be the payment channel of choice,
Amazon is gunning for Microsoft’s enterprise business, so on and so
forth. One product launch, one acquisition, can change the game in an
instant. And this is only the beginning.

Competitive Dynamics

•   The Rule of Three is evident in all major markets. While the percentage market share might vary, on an average,
    the top 3 control 93% of the market in an given nation. It doesn’t matter if the market is defined by “controlled
    regulation” like in China, Korea, and Japan or if it is “open market” driven in markets such as the US, UK, and
    India. Eventually, only top 3 operators control the majority of the market. There are niches that others occupy
    but they are largely irrelevant to the overall structure and functioning of the mobile market.
•   Markets such as US and India experienced similar competitive environment in their hyper-growth phase. For the
    US, this phase was in the nineties-mid-2000s while India has been experiencing the similar environment in the
    last 3-4 years. In both cases, at the start there are 5-6 players with no more than 25% market share but higher
    than 10% of the mix but gradually the market forces enable consolidation. Over a period of 18 years, US is
    settling into a “top 3” operator market. India’s brutal price wars are going to trigger the consolidation in the next
    12-24 months and will eventually settle into a structure similar to other markets.
•   The competitive equilibrium point in the mobile industry seems to when the market shares of the top 3 are
    46%:29%:18% respectively with the remaining 7% being allocated to the niche operators. To achieve some
    semblance of equilibrium in the market the top operator shouldn’t have more than 50% of the market share and
    the number three player shouldn’t have less than 20%. This helps create enough balance in the market to derive
    maximum value for the consumer.
•   Mobile operators will face some hard choices in developing and protecting the role they want to play in a given
    region and the ecosystem at-large. The strategy they choose will have a direct impact on the expected EBITDA
    margins, investment required over the long-haul, how investors view them, and on the competitive landscape of
    the country. Given, the fast pace of globalization, new rules and trends might emerge over the course of this
    decade that further define “communications” and “computing” as we know it.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2H 2012
What to expect in 2H 2012
•   More Tiering, faster pace of change of plans. More options, family data plans
•   Cost reduction is as important as revenue generation. More players will align their value-chains and cost structures
•   Facebook IPO is probably going to be the single biggest event in the technology industry in the next few months.
•   Radios will start connecting the digital world with the physical world with significant disruption opportunity
•   Mobile Payment Networks will remain intact for the near future as the ecosystem largely focuses on building value
    on top of the existing exchange platforms
•   The intersection of Social, Location, Identity, and Gaming is creating new opportunities
•   With connectivity becoming pervasive, mobile will fundamentally start to alter the legacy infrastructure – retail,
    health, education, energy, computing, travel, entertainment
•   Significant tablet adoption in the enterprise directly impacting the traditional computer manufacturers

  • 3. Global Mobile State of the Union 2012 1. Total Global Mobile Revenues to hit $1.5 Trillion in 2012, over 2% of Global GDP – Top 10 operators control 42% of the global data mobile revenues 2. Mobile Services Revenue exceeded $1 Trillion for the first time in 2011 – The number of mobile operators with > $1 Billion in yearly data revenues will touch 50 in 2012 3. Total Global Mobile Data Revenues went past $300 Billion in 2011 – Non-messaging data now owns 53% of the global mobile data revenues 4. Mobile Operator Profits have more than doubled over the last 10 years – However, the wealth is not divided evenly. Asia’s share has tripled at the expense of Europe whose profit share has declined by 50%. 5. Total Global Subscriptions to exceed 7 Billion in early 2013 – China exceeds 1 Billion, India 950 Million. Subscriber growth is in Asia, Revenue growth is in Asia+North America 6. China and India represent 27% of subscriptions but only 12% of the global service revenues – US represents only 6% of the subscriptions but 21% of the global service revenues, 26% of the data revenues, and 27% of the global CAPEX 7. Mobile Devices are now exceeding traditional computers in unit sales + revenue – 70% of the device sales in the US are now smartphones. Device Replacement cycle is shrinking 8. Samsung and Apple now account for 50% of the smartphone unit share and 90% of the profit share – Difficult environment for other OEMs esp. when ZTE and Huawei are coming strong from the bottom. It will be difficult for pure play device OEMs to survive long-term 9. Tablets (iPads) has created a new computing paradigm that is having a significant impact on commerce, content consumption, and developer investments – Apple will continue to dominate the segment and iOS will be the leading OS for the segment.

Mobile Broadband (4G) is being deployed at a faster rate than previous generations, first time data is leading the charge – Over 1.5 Billion broadband connections by 2012 11. Global Mobile Apps revenue has completely (and irreversibly) tilted to off-deck – The decline is directly proportional to the increase in smartphone penetration by region 12. All major markets are consolidating with the top 3 players at 85% of the market – Regulators will have to be more prudent and proactive about managing competitiveness and growth 13. Mobile data traffic 2x YOY in most markets. Mobile Data will be 95% of the global mobile traffic by 2015 – Many countries are facing spectrum exhaust in the next 2-3 years (in certain markets) 14. Mobile Signaling takes up 2x the resources as Mobile Data Traffic – Signaling traffic is growing faster than the data traffic on broadband networks 15. Connected device segment is growing at the fastest pace in the western markets – Operators will have to quickly adapt their strategies to stay relevant in this segment 16. Several multi-billion dollar opportunity segments are emerging – Mobile Advertising, Mobile Commerce, Mobile Wellness, Mobile Games, and Mobile Cloud Computing to name a few 17. Mobile Ecosystem has become very dynamic and unpredictable – The 5 Platform Amigos – Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook dominate though the first two have the real power 18.

Mobile Apps and Services Mobile is fundamentally reshaping how we as consumers spend from housing and healthcare to entertainment and travel, from food and drinks to communication and transportation. Mobile not only influences purchase behavior but also post purchase opinions. When the share button is literally a second away, consumers are willingly sharing more information than ever before. Mobile is thus helping close the nirvana gap for brands and advertisers who seek to connect advertising to actual transactions. The long-term battle is however for owning the context of the users. Having the best knowledge about the user to help drive the transaction is the simply the most valuable currency of commerce.

  • 14. MOBILE SUBSCRIBER AND REVENUE GROWTH
  • 15. The Big Picture • The global mobile industry is the most vibrant and fastest growing industry. We expect the total revenue in the industry to touch approximately $1.5 Trillion in 2012 with mobile data representing 28% of the mix. Mobile data services revenue stood at 33%. Global Mobile Data revenues eclipsed $300 Billion for the first time in 2011. It is also the first year in which non-messaging data revenues will make up the majority of the overall global data revenues at 53%. • By the end of 2011, the global subscriptions exceeded 6 Billion. The first 1 billion took over 20 years and this last one took only 15 months. The primary growth drivers are India and China which are cumulatively adding 75M new subs every quarter. China became the first country to eclipse the 1 billion mark in March 2012. India is likely to arrive at the milestone by early 2013. • Smartphones are driving tremendous growth around the globe. Amongst the major markets, US leads with 69% sales. The global figure stands at approximately 32%. Some operators expect 90- 95% of their device sales to be smartphones in 2012. In terms of the actual smartphone penetration, we expect the US market to eclipse the 50% mark in 2012. • China leads in the number of subs but US dominates in both total and data revenue. A number of emerging nations are now in top 10 – Brazil, India, Russia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mexico while once dominant – Korea, UK, Italy, Germany have dropped off or slipped in rankings. • The number of mobile operators with more than $1B in data revenues will increase to 50 in 2012. This number was only at 13 in 2005. http://www.chetansharma.com 15 © Copyright 2012, All Rights Reserved. Copying w/o permission is strictly prohibited.

Country average is now at 60%. • Next, Australia and the US have made good inroads in the last two years. In fact, if we look at the overall data revenue, US is much further ahead than any other nation due to the size of the market. • While India has the highest subscriber growth rate in the world right now, the revenue generating opportunity remain down right anemic compared to other major markets with average dropping down to $2.50 in overall ARPU.

  • 37. Devices – Apple, Android Dominate • Apple has had the tablet space to itself. Thus far the response from the competitors has been tepid esp. on the pricing dimension. Apple has had such a mastery over the supply-chain and months ahead of the competition that by the time they figure out details, Apple already locks up the pricing advantage for the cycle. OEMs try to catch-up on the features but can’t do on the margins. OEMs can grow the pie by bringing products at a better price points that helps attract different demographics to the mix. Microsoft can make good inroads into the space with its Win8 tablet release in 2012 but it will be again in a catch-up mode as the iOS ecosystem will be even more robust by then. The cheaper Android tablets will do well in the market. As expected, tablets will pretty much eliminate the need for netbooks and are starting to eat into the desktop/laptop revenue. • Apple and Samsung are strong on the top. Huawei and ZTE are coming up strong from the bottom. The middle tier players will have a tough time going forward. • It will be difficult for pureplay device OEMs to survive long-term. • Nokia and RIM are under severe market scrutiny as investors and developers leave in droves. Lack of product planning and execution has left their market share in disarray. Nokia’s valuation has been cut into half. Nokia’s release of N9 shows the engineering and creative design depth but a lot is riding on the first generation of Nokia Windows Phones (Lumia). While the market hasn’t shown much appetite for Windows phone thus far, a good family of devices might be able to slow the loss trajectory and position the combined team for the up-for- grabs 3rd spot in the ecosystem. Given that the computing is shifting to mobile devices, we can expect some of the weaker desktop/laptop players will exit the industry. • Majority of the tablet use is in the WiFi mode because the primary use case is indoors and WiFi gives a better (and cheaper) user experience. However, of the users who use cellular, the churn is low. Once operators start to roll out user-friendly family data plans across multiple devices, we can expect the cellular activation go higher (e.g. Rogers, Vodafone Spain) but will still be dominated by WiFi overall. http://www.chetansharma.com 37 © Copyright 2012, All Rights Reserved.

  • 59. Only a holistic strategy to deal with data tsunami can help the operators long-term • As a result of the data tsunami, there are two types of opportunities that are being created, one that take advantage of the data being generated in a way that enhances the user experience and provides value and the other in technologies that help manage the traffic data that will continue to grow exponentially. • To be able to stay ahead of the demand, significant planning needs to go in to deal with the bits and bytes that are already exploding. New technical and business solutions will be needed to manage the growth and profit from the services. Relying on only one solution won’t be an effective strategy to manage rising data demand. A holistic approach to managing data traffic is needed and our analysis shows that the cost structure can be reduced by more than half if a suite of solutions are deployed vs. a single dimensional approach and thus bringing the hockey stick curves of data cost more in line with the revenues and thus preserving the margins. • The decision making process within the operator organizations will need to be streamlined as well. Operators should also consider creating a senior post which focuses on both the cost side and the solution side so they can devise and institute a sustainable long-term policy and keep the margins healthy. http://www.chetansharma.com 59 © Copyright 2012, All Rights Reserved.

  • 74. GLOBAL MARKETS – COMPETITIVE DYNAMICS
  • 75. Changing Ecosystem Dynamics It is very clear that the ecosystem dynamics can change very quickly, one just can’t take the competitive and friendly forces for granted. In the past, the silos and segments were clearly defined with little overlap. However, over the course of last couple of years, players have been migrating and surfing in segments across the board - from Apple to Visa, from P&G to AT&T, from Facebook to Time Warner, from Google to Best Buy, every company wants to capture the mindshare and piece of the consumer’s pocketbook. The fine line between partners and competitors can get obliterated in a quarter. Apple is competing with Cisco, Comcast is going after AT&T’s business, Visa and Verizon want to be the payment channel of choice, Amazon is gunning for Microsoft’s enterprise business, so on and so forth. One product launch, one acquisition, can change the game in an instant. And this is only the beginning. http://www.chetansharma.com 75 © Copyright 2012, All Rights Reserved.

  • 76. Competitive Dynamics • The Rule of Three is evident in all major markets. While the percentage market share might vary, on an average, the top 3 control 93% of the market in an given nation. It doesn’t matter if the market is defined by “controlled regulation” like in China, Korea, and Japan or if it is “open market” driven in markets such as the US, UK, and India. Eventually, only top 3 operators control the majority of the market. There are niches that others occupy but they are largely irrelevant to the overall structure and functioning of the mobile market. • Markets such as US and India experienced similar competitive environment in their hyper-growth phase. For the US, this phase was in the nineties-mid-2000s while India has been experiencing the similar environment in the last 3-4 years. In both cases, at the start there are 5-6 players with no more than 25% market share but higher than 10% of the mix but gradually the market forces enable consolidation. Over a period of 18 years, US is settling into a “top 3” operator market. India’s brutal price wars are going to trigger the consolidation in the next 12-24 months and will eventually settle into a structure similar to other markets. • The competitive equilibrium point in the mobile industry seems to when the market shares of the top 3 are 46%:29%:18% respectively with the remaining 7% being allocated to the niche operators. To achieve some semblance of equilibrium in the market the top operator shouldn’t have more than 50% of the market share and the number three player shouldn’t have less than 20%. This helps create enough balance in the market to derive maximum value for the consumer. • Mobile operators will face some hard choices in developing and protecting the role they want to play in a given region and the ecosystem at-large. The strategy they choose will have a direct impact on the expected EBITDA margins, investment required over the long-haul, how investors view them, and on the competitive landscape of the country. Given, the fast pace of globalization, new rules and trends might emerge over the course of this decade that further define “communications” and “computing” as we know it. http://www.chetansharma.com 76 © Copyright 2012, All Rights Reserved.
