OTT traffic has surpassed carrier traffic. Data usage is increasing rapidly. Voice and SMS revenues are declining quickly and data revenue is becoming the major source of revenue for MNOs. In a data-only environment, MNOs need to find mechanisms to drive data demand in order to drive revenues.
Malaysia shows what the data-only world will look like, with Freemium Internet a basic requirement to retain customers. It showed that data revenues continue to grow, and that competitive pressure leads to all operators adopting freemium internet, once one major player has done so. In fact, Aircel and Jio show that Freemium Internet can accelerate data and subscriber growth so much that it has an impact on global traffic growth (Ericsson 2017).
Freemium Internet can also drive non-telco OTTs, such as advertising, mobile money, and e-Government services, using mobile data as a platform. By removing affordability as an obstacle, the number of internet users expands exponentially, enabling the delivery of e-services to all segments of the population, instead of only the (relatively) wealthy.
In comparison to Malaysia, mobile networks in Africa are generally not as technically advanced (smaller 3/4G network coverage, lower smartphone penetration) nor as competitive. Where commercial incentives are insufficient, regulatory and policy incentives can be designed, such as the reduction of licence fees, the allocation of spectrum, and reduced universal service fees. The impact of these incentives would be to dramatically stimulate data demand to the benefit of consumers and MNOs, and have a significantly positive effect on economic growth.

Early in the first quarter of 2021, China is leading the 5G network adoption with reports mentioning that they’ve reached more than 200 million 5G users. Following China, Japan and South Korea is also fast to adapt.
These are the top 10 countries 5G-connected countries in Asia by 2021 as forecasted by GSMA Intelligence until the end of Q4 2021.
The 5G network will be one of the keys in building an era of intelligent connectivity which is believed to transform businesses and support economic growth by deploying innovative new services.
From enterprises to consumers, the benefits of adopting a network with higher connectivity speed and lower latency will increase many things including efficiency for business operations and providing next-level experiences for consumers.
Despite the global pandemic, most operators in Asia and North America remain optimistic about deployments. As of Q4 2020, there are more than 130 mobile operators across 52 markets worldwide that have made the network accessible.
Not only are these expansions supported by policy makers and governments, the upgrade intent from consumers are also growing in most markets. The top 3 most appealing use cases for 5G to consumers are: 5G home broadband, enhanced video calling feature, and ultra-high definition movies and TVs for a next-level consumer entertainment experience.
Asia Pacific Consumer Insight: Mobile Phones & EntertainmentForest Interactive
China is leading the 5G network adoption with reports mentioning that they’ve reached more than 200 million 5G users by first quarter of 2021. Following China, South Korea and Australia has been fast in adopting the new network as well. With this, Asia Pacific is predicted to keep on pioneering 5G. However, there are still barriers for adoption for 5G such as the technology being too expensive and that the consumers are still satisfied with the existing networks. The new 5G network also needs a specific phone to support the network therefore it adds an extra barrier to switch from one network generation to another.
Some survey takers also mention that the benefits of 5G is not as appealing to make them change networks. This could relate to the fact that people in Asia Pacific mostly use their mobile phone merely for mobile banking and video calling that does not necessarily require them to change to 5G network. Other than that, consumers in Asia Pacific uses mobile phone for entertainment which mostly is music streaming.
Despite these barriers to adopting the new 5G network, many organizations still predict that Asia Pacific is still going to lead the network adoption.
Internet of Things (IoT) Impact and Challenges for EnterprisesForest Interactive
Internet of Things (IoT) can do a lot for enterprises including: help transform ways of working and doing business, as well as increasing operational efficiency. However, there are some challenges to implementing the technology - one of them being the pandemic that halted implementations in the short term.
A survey by GSMA Intelligence – covering almost 2,900 enterprises - showed that 65% of survey takers have deployed IoT in 2020 and have further plans to expand. Many of these enterprises see that IoT could be transformative to the company, meaning it brings distinct improvements to how the company operates.
One of the challenges that was voted the most was IT integration but employee resistance is also another reason why implementing new technology could be hard.
Across many industries, there are shifts in consumer trends year to year. Through this infographic, we would like to show you the 2021 digital consumer trends for the telecommunications industry. 4 major things to look out for include: 5G network adoption, rise of the gaming industry, OTT versus Pay TV, changes in purchasing behavior.
In short, 5G-enabled mobile phones are still less likely to be a priority for many consumers. According to GSMA’s consumer survey data, more consumers are still relying on the basics such as battery life quality. However, adoption of 5G network will most likely be led by gamers as it will support an enhanced gaming experience.
Other than that, as individuals are looking for more entertainment, OTT and Pay TV are competing against each other. It’s forecasted that by 2025, Pay TV will still win in some countries.
As to purchasing mobile phones or other handsets online, most consumers still prefer visiting physical stores despite the risks of going outside.
As the vaccines are rolling out in many countries, we should see improvements in terms of how the world tackles the pandemic. Parallel to that, the 2021 digital consumer trend will likely to continue evolving through time given the uncertainties we’re still facing in the future.
Welcome to the last week of 2020! A lot has happened this year, both the good and the challenges. Let’s take a look at the 2020 Telecommunications Industry Roundup.
This year, almost half of the world’s population are using mobile internet. This helps with connectivity during difficult times, to ensure everyone stays informed with the latest update on the pandemic.
Early in 2020, 5G deployments were halted due to the pandemic. But coming into the second half of the year, deployments restarted and, approaching the end of 2020, 5G is available from more than 178 mobile operators in over 80 countries.
During the year of the lockdown, consumer behaviour has shifted as well. Data traffic surges were reported from mobile operators across the world as individuals staying at home sought new ways of living and consuming entertainment.

Throughout the decades, mobile technology has revolutionized and helped society become more connected. Benefits of mobile technology does not only lie in connecting the society, but also in helping businesses find efficient ways with what we now call as automation.
With all the benefits that mobile technology has brought to light, it is believed that the revolution has helped the world to grow its economy. According to GSMA, mobile technology accounted for about $10 for every $100 income per capita growth for countries across the world between the year 2000 until 2019.
Take a look at the following infographic to see how the economy was impacted by every network update for mobile technology.
Although 5G network deployment seems to be slower than predicted at the beginning of the year, the network has already been adopted by more than 100 million mobile users today. Here's the updated map for 5G network commercial availability!
Digital technologies will play crucial roles in enhancing societies and economies. As the pandemic continues to push the world to do physical distancing, digital transformations are happening across multiple industries. Here's how intelligent connectivity transforms the journey of digital society and pushes the Industry 4.0 agenda.
The North American region is seeing a slow adoption for the new 5G network due to pandemic disruption. However, this is believed to merely have a short-term impact. North America is predicted to be one of the first regions where 5G accounts for more than 50% of total connections by 2025.
The total number of mobile subscribers for mobile operators are increasing exponentially, especially more so than ever this year. With China and India having the largest population of users, here are the top 10 biggest mobile operators in 2020.
Connectivity is one of the most important things to maintain and improve to keep society informed, especially during 2020. More updates are yet to come as almost half of the world's population are already using mobile internet. Here are some quick facts about mobile connectivity in 2020!
