- The Story of the 6 blind men …Identify what they are in front ofNo one got the right answerNarrow ScopeThe Internet is the Elephant – Blind Men are the StakeholdersThanks to IGF – Widen then Scope – Policy Shaping Not Policy MakingEqual Footing – Experience Sharing – Knowledge Transfer – Open DialogueOne of the most important aspects of the Internet early design is that it was extremely collaborative and its governance today should follow the same path in order to guarantee its continuous development.
- Yes there is a sustainability issue today.Market Dynamics are not anymore like 5 years agoEnd User required a certain level of QoSOperators suffers from: Tuff Competition – Regulatory Burdens (Licensing Fees – Revenue Sharing)
- Understand Current MindsetYes they won the battle but may be not the War – Did great job in the area of voice and sms, but Now ??Erase the memory of the last war you fought even if you won it.Armies must adapt to the complexity and chaos of modern war by becoming more fluid and maneuverable. The guerrilla army never stops to defend a particular place or town; it wins by always moving, staying one step ahead. ITU Telecom World in Dubai Mr. Ossman Sultan: DU – CEO - Operators have to change the DNA code. Dr. AmrRawas – OmanTel – CEO- In the Arab Region, we have the best talented engineers and technical calibers, but may be there is a lack in innovators and entrepreneurs.
- Need a Paradigm ShiftHabit 3: FIRST THINGS FIRST Effectiveness requires balancing important relationships, roles, and activities. Things, which matter most, should never be at the mercy of things, which matter least. Habit 4: THINK WIN-WIN Effective relationships require mutual benefit. We can’t solve problems by the same way of thinking we created them, by Einstein. They key word in this quote is “created”. This means that problems doesn’t exists, it is us who created them. It is time for operator to start think out of the box. 1,Tap into the advertisement industry2. Potential of Commercial Schemes3. Create value out of Broadband: Differentiated Services4. Develop a national or regional model jointly with other stakeholders
- MethodologyCreativity – Consider that there is NO BOXWhen you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it. They just saw something.Example:Data Roaming Charges:You will generate more revenues if you have a large base of subscribers paying less than having a tiny amount of subscribers paying more
- Digitization is the mass adoption of connected digital services by consumers, businesses, and governments; surveys indicate that the region is rapidly adopting digital services. Digitization can contribute $1.4tn to economy and lead to 12m new jobs in the region by 2020
