Need for Innovation.
The Future will look Different – Companies Better Prepare!
“People tend to overestimate what can be accomplished in the short
run, but to underestimate what can be accomplished in the long run.”
Arthur C. Clarke
“The past is a foreign country.
They do things differently there.”
L.P. Hartley
“Technology is not kind. It does not wait.
It does not say please. It slams into
existing systems. Often destroying them,
while creating new ones.”
Joseph Alois Schumpeter „The future is already here –
it is just not evenly distributed yet.“
William Gibson

IP Services Bandwidth and Revenues.
Larger Bandwidth Share (and Revenues) to stay with the New IP Services
such as Audio/Video Streams.
1 figures refer to Germany only
Classical IP services : File sharing, elasticP2P traffic, www, messaging
Peak bandwidth (traffic mix share)
New IP services: VoIP, video conferencing, gaming, audio streaming, webcam usage, PVR,
video, TVoDSL, non-elastic “real-time” P2P, excluding access and advertising
Source: IP 2010, IDC, ScreenDigest, Ovum, DETECON
• Strong revenue growth
expected from new/enabler
sensitive (e.g. QoS, etc.) IP
services
• New IP services are expected
to generate dominant share of
IP traffic/cost
• DTAG has a window of
opportunity to employ/leverage
its enablers
• The appropriate personal &
social networking (PSN) web
enablers should be explored

of the future
• Web 2.0, mobile Internet, and Internet TV.
• Deutsche Telekom has developed products and
services whose intelligent access options, intuitive
operation, and ease of use stand out from the crowd
• High-speed surfing and high-definition TV,
• Online video stores and time-shift television with T-Home
Entertain,
• Open access to the Internet when on the move with
web’n’walk, and
• MyFaves for uncomplicated communication with your five
favorite people.

Implications for Mobile Operators.
Shifts in Mobile Operators‘ Value Chain: From few to Multiple “End-User” Interfaces.
Operators in „Sandwich position“:
• Avoid becoming a „bit-pipe“
• Handle transition from „walled
garden“ to open Internet
• Compensate decline in voice
traffic with growth in data
Shifts in revenue of T-Mobile
International (2006 ! 2007)1:
• +40% Data revenue2 (€1.9B)
