About mobilesquared
mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared
We provide intelligence and insight on the telco and media sectors.
The real value we deliver lies in how we transform our research into high-
performing content and strategy that puts our clients ahead of their
competition.
Our work has a clear impact on our clients' business results, because we
design each brief around their business objectives.
We've been analysing the telco space for two decades, so our experience has
been earned, not learned.

of insight, which we interpret to help shape truly-effective strategy for our
clients.

Payment opportunity
mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared
•Smartphones creating new mobile payment opportunity – PRS expansion
into quasi-physical and physical goods.
•Operator billing only PRS area experiencing growth; projected to slow down
in 2015.
•Industry waiting for release of the update to Payment Service Directive
(PSDII) in July 2015 before deciding mobile payment strategy;
•Major Level 1 providers expected to reduce role in PRS sector in
pursuit of mobile payment strategy.
•Operator billing to be viewed as separate platform from traditional PRS
services in order to attract corporations and major retailers (brand identity);
•Brand reputation an important consideration
•PayforIt potentially becoming “brand” for operator billing restricted to PRS
sector.
•Credit/debit cards have the march on operator billing;
•Industry out-payment timelines (30+ days) a potential hurdle.
•Operator billing requires significant promotion from a united industry.
10.8 million PRS users would be
interested in using their mobile phone
to pay for “other” transactions
that appear on their monthly mobile phone bill, or uses available credit from
their pay-as-you-go account
Preferred consumer payment channels
Payment opportunity
mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared
What is appealing about using your mobile phone to pay for transactions?
Collaboration
mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared
Increased openness and closer working relationship between industry and
regulator developed in 2013 and continues throughout 2014 and into 2015.
• Industry and PhonepayPlus worked successfully together to counter threat
from non-compliant affiliate marketing (initiative commenced mid-2013)
•Introduction of “SKIP” to regular text payments in charity sector
• Formation of Rapid Response Unit viewed as significant step forward
• Supported industry on Payment Services Directive (PSDII)
• Tackling the issue of re-direct.
Consumer perception of PRS
mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared
Consumers believe PRS costs between
£0.25 - £10
25%of consumers claimed to know
how much PRS costs
41%said they did not know
Despite the clarity required when promoting PRS as mandated by regulation,
consumer perception of PRS pricing is inaccurate.
On average, consumers believe PRS costs an average of:
• £1.63 to vote on X Factor
• £1.08 per minute to call DQ
• £2.77 per minute to call a chat line
Cost-related issues are the principal reasons for PRS users to reduce their usage of
PRS or stop using the services altogether.
Q. What reason/reasons can you attribute for using these services less of stopping using them altogether?
PRS pricing not reflective of changing market dynamics (internet, device evolution, behavioural changes)
Key findings
nick@mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared
1. PRS market decline continues: Down 3.2% 2013-2014, projected to fall 7.2% 2014-2015.
2. Operator billing only payment mechanism within PRS experiencing revenue growth; promise of quasi-physical and
physical goods revenues prompting major Level 1 providers to develop divergent strategy.
3. Service growth from the 3 G’s of Giving, Gaming, and Gambling.
4. PRS users dropped from 19.3 million (Jan 2014) to 16.5 million (Jan 2015); ARPU increasing.
5. Non-compliance accounts for the loss of 46% of users per month; cost, service relevant and alternative content-
related issues affect the remaining 54%.
6. Compliance hit 80% in 2014, industry targeting 85-90% in 2015.
7. PRS pricing requires realignment based on changing market dynamics, technology, and consumer behaviour.
8. An app strategy presents longevity

  • 21. Payment opportunity mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared •Smartphones creating new mobile payment opportunity – PRS expansion into quasi-physical and physical goods. •Operator billing only PRS area experiencing growth; projected to slow down in 2015. •Industry waiting for release of the update to Payment Service Directive (PSDII) in July 2015 before deciding mobile payment strategy; •Major Level 1 providers expected to reduce role in PRS sector in pursuit of mobile payment strategy. •Operator billing to be viewed as separate platform from traditional PRS services in order to attract corporations and major retailers (brand identity); •Brand reputation an important consideration •PayforIt potentially becoming “brand” for operator billing restricted to PRS sector. •Credit/debit cards have the march on operator billing; •Industry out-payment timelines (30+ days) a potential hurdle. •Operator billing requires significant promotion from a united industry. 10.8 million PRS users would be interested in using their mobile phone to pay for “other” transactions that appear on their monthly mobile phone bill, or uses available credit from their pay-as-you-go account Preferred consumer payment channels
  • 22. Payment opportunity mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared What is appealing about using your mobile phone to pay for transactions?
  • 23. Collaboration mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared Increased openness and closer working relationship between industry and regulator developed in 2013 and continues throughout 2014 and into 2015. • Industry and PhonepayPlus worked successfully together to counter threat from non-compliant affiliate marketing (initiative commenced mid-2013) •Introduction of “SKIP” to regular text payments in charity sector • Formation of Rapid Response Unit viewed as significant step forward • Supported industry on Payment Services Directive (PSDII) • Tackling the issue of re-direct.
  • 24. Consumer perception of PRS mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared Consumers believe PRS costs between £0.25 - £10 25%of consumers claimed to know how much PRS costs 41%said they did not know Despite the clarity required when promoting PRS as mandated by regulation, consumer perception of PRS pricing is inaccurate. On average, consumers believe PRS costs an average of: • £1.63 to vote on X Factor • £1.08 per minute to call DQ • £2.77 per minute to call a chat line Cost-related issues are the principal reasons for PRS users to reduce their usage of PRS or stop using the services altogether. Q. What reason/reasons can you attribute for using these services less of stopping using them altogether? PRS pricing not reflective of changing market dynamics (internet, device evolution, behavioural changes)
  • 25. Key findings nick@mobilesquared.co.uk@mobilesquared 1. PRS market decline continues: Down 3.2% 2013-2014, projected to fall 7.2% 2014-2015. 2. Operator billing only payment mechanism within PRS experiencing revenue growth; promise of quasi-physical and physical goods revenues prompting major Level 1 providers to develop divergent strategy. 3. Service growth from the 3 G’s of Giving, Gaming, and Gambling. 4. PRS users dropped from 19.3 million (Jan 2014) to 16.5 million (Jan 2015); ARPU increasing. 5.

Compliance hit 80% in 2014, industry targeting 85-90% in 2015. 7. PRS pricing requires realignment based on changing market dynamics, technology, and consumer behaviour. 8. An app strategy presents longevity *Revenues include charitable donations
