Waterfall Client Webinar: Information on the October 16 TCPA Rules ChangesWaterfall Mobile
In addition to our earlier email, we wanted to provide a forum for Waterfall clients to ask questions about the October 16 changes to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. This webinar is not mandatory, rather it's meant to be an open discussion for those who feel like such a forum would be beneficial.
In the webinar, Waterfall CMO Matt Silk will:
1) Walk through the changes to the TCPA
2) Describe the current discussion and reaction from the mobile industry
3) Provide some insight into the options mobile marketers have at their disposal
Note: this webinar is not, nor should it supplement, legal advice. We'd like to remind clients to personally consult an attorney for specific counsel about telemarketing legalities.

TV Everywhere
This is the fun part, where I get to predict the future based on what’s going on today, what I’ve learned
during years of working in the industry, and my thoughts on what it is that consumers want and don’t
want. It’s not an exact science by any means and every day something new happens to move my view of
the future in one direction or another. But I think the basics still hold. The first thing I see becoming a
reality is TV Everywhere (TVE), which is basically what you have now if you have Netflix: you can watch
your pay TV service on any device at any time. If you’ve paused a show on your iPad and want to resume
it on the TV, you can do that seamlessly. The technology is there to make this happen, save one crucial
part: the ability to measure ratings on various devices, which would allow the networks to keep the
same ad revenue. It’s something the industry has been waiting on for a while now, ever since it was first
announced that Nielsen was trying to make it happen back in February 2013. And while there have been
hints and updates that progress was being made— including an October 2014 announcement that
Nielsen was working with Adobe to make online ratings happen, nothing final has been released as of
March 2015. That’s why so many MVPDs are holding back on their current TVE offerings. A study
conducted by Digitalsmiths in early 2014 revealed that more than half of their respondents were
unaware that their provider even had a TVE app, although Comcast recently reported that 30% of their
customers are regular users of their Xfinity TV Go TVE app, which has 11 million downloads. There are
two possible options for TV Everywhere: a system where the MVPDs proprietary TV Everywhere apps
prevail, or one where the networks proprietary OTT apps do. I’m betting on the former, and here’s why.
A Built-In Audience of Millions.
Any new OTT service, whether it’s a skinny bundle like Sling TV or a network app like HBO Now, must
first build an audience from scratch. The MVPD’s however, already have a huge built-in audience for
their apps: the millions of people who are already paying for their service. All the MVPDs have to do is
convince them to download a free TVE app and start using it. There’s nothing to give up, nothing to
replace, and (most notably) nothing to pay for. That’s an incredibly strong selling point.
All Those Ad Dollars.
Thanks to this built-in potential audience of millions, selling ads on the operator TVE apps will be much
easier when compared to other OTT TV apps. As the networks start to see the ad revenue flow in, they’ll
become less resistant to the idea of striking deals to put their shows on the operator apps. They may
even go crazy and allow viewers to have access to their home DVR or VOD systems through these apps.
Stranger things have happened.
Ease Of Use.
Because operator TVE apps are integrated into the user’s existing pay-TV system, they (theo ...

III.Key Findings - CONSUMER (N = 500)1
1. Control and flexibility are key: Three of the
top five basic TV features that consumers
consider most important indicate a desire to
use features on their terms.
DVR service (considered important/very
important by 72%) and On Demand indicate
consumer desire for TV content to be available to
them when they want it.
– “On Demand streaming .... You kind of watch
what you want, when you want it.”
– “I switched to Direct TV because of the whole
home DVR service where you have one DVR
and multiple boxes throughout the house, so
you only have one DVR, so that’s a pretty
unique feature.”
– “DVR is important to everybody.”
2. Of 15 basic digital features to choose from
(from music channels to parental controls to
3DTVand more), only five were considered
important/very important by at least half of
the sample. Interestingly, not everyone who
considered a feature important actually had that
feature at the time.
DVR service is considered important by 72% of
the sample, but only 60% actually had/used a
DVR service.
The largest opportunity for providers relates to
the feature that allows consumers to have up to 80
digital channels; 65% considered this important,
but only 35% had that feature.

3. Consumers want technology to adapt to their
lives and schedules – their ranking of
innovative features confirms their desire for
control and flexibility.
“I have an Apple product at home. When I call
Apple’s number, it has a very advanced voice
recognition system where I can ask the question
and it will usually give me an answer right away
or tell me where to go for an answer exactly. And
that advanced voice recognition system really
helps me. I know it still involves calling a
number, but it usually gives me another option.”
Almost 80% of consumers want the ability to
restart a live program in progress. Consumers are
interested in features that would essentially make
the TV function like the Internet (e.g., being able
to stop and start a program or watching a program
whenever they want)
– “It’s like you’re watching it on TV where the
function is like Internet and you can just
pause.”
3. PwC Page 3 of 12
72% are looking for 150 hours of storage space –
in case they want to save an entire series.
– “I like watching series all at once. That’s why
I like watching them on Netflix. So, [as] I
have the ability to save a season at the end of
a season, sit down and chill out and watch
that show, that’s what I would use it for.”
71% are looking for whole house DVR – the ability
to record in one room and watch in another.
– “I have one that controls two rooms . . . So,
the one on my TV is where the main, regular
size DVR box is, and then the one in my
bedroom is like a smaller one and I can
watch whatever is taped in both rooms.”
4. Consumers have a need for speed: Speed is the
most important Internet feature – and many
consumers don’t have it. In our qualitative
discussion, it seemed as though “speed” is the only
thing that matters relative to Internet features,
although consumers are often not sure of the speed
they have now and if their “upgrades” have actually
netted them increased speed.
“Speed is the most important thing to me, just like
an always-on connection, and it irritated me
when, being that that’s my most important thing,
I think when I signed up like 4 or 5 years ago, it
was one package. And then they started signing
on different grades of speed service and when
they did that, my price stayed the same, but I had
a marked difference in speed quality. So if I
wanted to go up to the level where I was, I had to
start paying the $10-$20 extra.”
“I don’t know the speed, but me and my
roommate, we were on a promotion package and
then they said – ‘oh, in order to continue, we’re
going to get you at this rate.’ Like the promo is
over and as you get the higher price, you’re going
to get faster Internet, so we’re like – okay. We
didn’t want to change the provider.”
"I know there's stuff offered, it's just stuff I don't
use. I know there's email... I don't use a service
provider's email, I use my own email"

experience.
5. For consumers, the “ideal” service bundle is
all about innovative TV features – and
nothing about Internet features. TV is the
portal to their entertainment.
Even so, most consumers surveyed are willing to
pay no more than $139 per month for their “ideal”
package.
55% (the largest percentage) would be willing to
pay between $110-$139 for their ideal bundle.
17% would pay between $140-$169
– “The Internet is just Internet. You just want
to know you have it, so it’s not really any
additional features or anything.”
– “Because you want to pick what exactly is
going to be there when you go to turn it
on . . . the TV is just always on.”
– “But I think you use Internet for specific
things. I think it’s only like a small fraction of
the population that maybe will be more
dependent on the Internet because they
watch TV online or whatever. So otherwise, if
you’re looking up something on a computer,
that’s the only thing the Internet . . . Most
people in their house, they only really use it
for music or email. It’s just limited. TV, you
just want to have choices. So it gives you
more options in what to watch.”

6. Consumers are looking for the most basic
functionality when it comes to managing
their Internet/digital TV account. They want
website navigation for service to be clearer
and better organized to help with their
specific request.
In fact, in our qualitative discussion, there was
some frustration expressed about the difficulty of
navigating most websites and the inability to find
information specific to their problem/issue.

– “I get frustrated when I go to a website where
I might search for something, but the results
are totally irrelevant, where there might be
pages and pages of results that really have
nothing to do with answering your question.”
– “Yeah, when you type in something on the
Web page nothing comes up, I feel like typing
it into Google is more effective than going to
a [provider] message board and finding out
what other people had to go through to get to
the answer is actually a lot easier than
looking at the provider’s page.”
– “Yeah, you put into Google, but then Google
takes you to the right resource over the actual
provider’s page. They tweak their search
engine or something or the keywords that
they use. Whatever algorithm [the providers
are] using needs to be more intuitive.”
7. There are few incremental services that
consumers desire but feel they aren’t getting—
especially around home control/automation.
There was some confusion and lack of consumer
knowledge surrounding home automation
offerings. Interest existed when services were
defined.
In our qualitative discussion, one suggestion was
for a feature that would allow people without a
landline to connect to the doorbell or buzzer at
their home.
– “The one thing I would like . . . is that I
couldn’t get my doorbell to buzz open because
I didn’t have a landline. $5.00 a month, I
would pay for that, because two flights of
stairs . . . to be able to hook into a line so that
it buzzes in my house, so I can hit a button
right in the house. It just needs to link into
something.”
Other features consumers were interested in were
being able to access archived and current TV
content on their mobile device, and also being able
to view that content when they are offline.

IV. What this means for your business:
Consumers
1. Consumers want control and flexibility –
especially in the area of digital TV, where there
is the greatest level of engagement. Providers
have an opportunity to continue to connect with
consumers on these levels with services/features that
put them in charge of the experience. Give them what
they want, how they want it, when it’s convenient for
them.
2. The need for speed is critical – and it’s an area
that consumers perceive to be currently
lacking among all providers. Significantly,
however, they are confused about what constitutes
“high speed.” Providers have an opportunity to better
educate consumers on what they get when they
upgrade components of speed (mbps) - and
importantly - what they Need for the utility
they want.
3. Packages and bundles should focus on
combining innovative digital TV features and
services that offer control and flexibility.
Internet components are viewed as less important
(unless they focus on speed), so providers should
focus on TV, and educate consumers surrounding
benefits of new features such as home automation.
4. Provider websites need to be more user
friendly and better organized and navigable so
consumers can easily find the information
they want and answer specific questions.
The most important components of account
management are the ability to view/pay bill online
and 24/7 online support for questions or when
features/services break down.
It is also important to offer a phone feature in case
an Internet service interruption is one of the
problems they seek to solve.
Consumers are also interested in proactive customer
service– for example, texting a company to inform
them of a service issue and providing a phone number
so that the next available representative can contact
them.
5. Consumers are content with the
features/services currently being offered to
them. The opportunity for providers is to better
educate them on what features exist (storage
solutions, for example), why they might like to know
more about them, and how they could benefit from
them.

V. Key Findings - Small Businesses
(N = 500)2
1. Small business customers are a tough nut to
crack. Of 17 services/features presented, only
two generated an interest level above 50%.
Our qualitative discussion confirmed that
cost was the most interesting feature.
“High Speed Internet for $29.90/month:” 82%
were somewhat to very interested (40% were “very
interested”)
“Bundle Phone and Internet for $84.99 month:”
60% were somewhat to very interested
2. Packages and bundles of services are very
appealing to the small business customer for
providing the best value. Qualitatively, these
are also viewed as generally more
“convenient” since the package is pre-
configured.
“Because you get a three-course meal for one
price . . . That’s what a bundle means to me.”
The most appealing packages, however, are those
that allow small business customers to select the
features their business needs most, rather than a
pre-selected “bundle.” This enables them to avoid
features they don’t need or want (such as phone
service).
2 Demos:
• 95% of businesses have high speed internet
• 35% of businesses have digital TV
Business Size/Description
• 45% office provision/management of the sale of goods
and services
• 41% have between 1-5 employees
• 30% 11-20 employees
• 29% 6-10 employees
Current digital:
• 40% have package/bundle of services
• 69% have wireless phone system
• 74% have wired phone systems
– “If I could pick specific features and then pay
the package price, then I would. I guess it’s
just ingrained in the human conscious that
“package” equals cheaper.”
– “I’m planning to get that next as soon as my
contract expires, but the one thing that they
could put in there too for that bundle package
is my cell phone. We don’t really even use the
house phone unless it’s clients calling in, but
you have to have a phone to have Internet.”
– “I very specifically did not want the phone as
part of the package because . . . I had some
general horror stories at my old location, and
in trying to get those fixed and researching
online a lot of people’s difficulties, it seemed
that when the phone went out, which is
something that we wouldn’t even use because
we have cell phones, but a lot of times when
the phone goes on that Triple Play, it takes
down your Internet and your TV. I can’t. It
would be risking having a feature that would
never be used for any good purpose, which
has the potential to take down something
that’s absolutely vital to what I do every
day.”
8. PwC Page 8 of 12
However, small business customers are generally
less willing to pay extra for innovative
features/functionality.
In our qualitative discussion, small business
customers are looking for part of the service
“bundle“ to include a quarterly review or
assessment of services to be sure they have the
“right” bundle as well as advise on how to save.
– “I would like a quarterly review of the
equipment and the services that I use, for
them to look at it say – ‘we can save you
some money if you do this.’ In other words,
‘we see you’re doing this, this, this and this. If
you use this service, we can save you $20 a
month.’ It’s not a big deal, but $20 will
add up.”

3. Of all the Internet features and packages
provided, small business owners/managers
are most interested in two very basic
packages of services:
Phone + Internet/Ethernet
Business Applications
– Apps Integration (mail, calendar, docs, video)
– Online back up and sharing services
– Internet Security
4. Small business owners/managers are also
looking for basic account management
features. The most important features are the
ability to “view and pay” their bill online and
to have an account overview.
24/7 online support is also highly important since
many businesses don’t always operate on a 9-5,
Monday-Friday work schedule. This gives them
more flexibility, control and peace of mind.
However, in our qualitative discussion, some
expressed frustration with not having phone
access 24/7 as well in the event of a connection
disruption.
– “A lot of times, you find a problem during the
weekend and you call an office and nobody is
there. And if there is 24/7 support, even if
they tell you – ‘well, we’re going to work on
it,’ at least you’ve told somebody and you’ve
got the process moving along, instead of
getting ‘our office hours are Monday, 8:30 to
whatever’, and you have to call back Monday
morning. You stew all weekend. So I think
that’s probably why it’s important. It’s a
peace-of-mind thing.”
– “I mean, if I’m having a problem at a strange
hour with the Internet, I don’t imagine I’d be
able to get to the online support. I would only
be contacting them if I couldn’t use the
Internet, and if I can’t use the Internet, I
wouldn’t be able to contact them.”

10. PwC Page 10 of 12
7. The most important solution sought by small
business owners/managers is to have more
storage solutions.
However, in our qualitative discussion, general
knowledge about cloud-based storage solutions
was mixed.
– “I have multiple hard drives, but I do want to
get into cloud storage. It’s just, once again,
the upload time. It’s just such a waste of my
time. Otherwise, if it was faster, I would do
that.”
– “Yeah, I do physical storage and backup as
well, but I’m not sold for multiple reasons on
the cloud storage. But some storage or
backup solution could potentially be useful
because I do have a lot of data.”
– “And to know that it’s safe because I have
that external backup, too, that I have to
connect every so many months to make sure I
have everything. But I would like to know
that it’s secure. I don’t really understand the
cloud thing, though. You see it like for the
Kindle and everything.”
8. One of the most critical factors for all small business
owners is time.
“The one thing I do find is that if I have a problem
with [my provider], I call and get to a human
being usually within a minute or less. If I have a
problem with [my old provider], I go through
prompts after prompts after prompts… it’s very
frustrating. And then you don’t always get the
right person or the right department and that’s
incredibly frustrating because I don’t have the
time to do that.”
“… I do want to get into cloud storage. It’s just,
once again, the upload time. It’s just such a waste
of my time. Otherwise, if it was faster, I would do
that.”
“I’ll go on the computer at work and I’ll be so
frustrated, I’m ready to throw it through a wall.
If I’m starting to think faster than the computer
is, theoretically, then there’s something wrong.”
“Time is money.”

VI. What this means for your business:
Small business owners/managers
1. Cost consciousness is quite prevalent for small
business owners/managers. They need to balance
their Internet and digital TV choices with other
business requirements. Given a set of choices, the
lower price wins in the absolute. And since they are
not willing to pay extra for innovative features or
functionality, the opportunity for providers is to
increase awareness on the importance of these
features to running their business more successfully.
2. There is an opportunity for features “bundles”
to include more than just features, but also
add value-added services to small businesses,
such as quarterly account reviews. Since their
priority is saving money, small business customers
would consider a review of their features usage and
recommendations for changes to be a value-added
service.
3. Offering a package that small business
managers or owners can select themselves is
appealing. They would select the package of
services/features that makes the most sense for their
business, giving them more control. It also provides a
more customizable component, which can be
marketed to address varying needs of various types of
businesses.
4. Adding a “call” feature to the 24/7 service offer
addresses their perceived “helplessness” of not being
able to do anything about an Internet problem if their
service is down.
5. Small business customers are looking for
more and faster storage solutions. Specifically,
there is an opportunity for providers to offer more
education on the capacities – and importantly, safety
– of cloud-based storage/digital lockers.
