Analysys Mason presentation: Why do operators partner with OTT voice providers? Stela Bokun
This document discusses why mobile operators partner with over-the-top (OTT) voice providers like Skype, WhatsApp, and Viber. It provides several reasons why operators may choose to partner with these services, including that it is a proactive way to engage with new voice models, it can help drive data usage and smartphone adoption, it may improve customer retention rates, and doing nothing risks losing more revenue to these established OTT players as they expand into voice services. The document also notes that blocking or competing directly with OTT services has generally not been effective, and that different combinations of strategies around partnership may work best for different operators depending in their specific market conditions.

Day 3 Ovum - Matthew Howett - Telco OTT PartnershipsAdrian Hall
This document discusses partnerships between telecommunications companies and over-the-top (OTT) providers to increase access to affordable internet. It notes that while internet and smartphone usage is growing, connectivity remains low in developing areas due to high costs and infrastructure gaps. Programs like Facebook's Internet.org aim to address this by offering limited free basic internet services through partnerships between OTTs and telcos. However, questions remain around which apps and services should be included to avoid further dividing the digital haves and have-nots, who will own the customer relationship, and regulatory barriers to proposed technologies like internet drones and balloons.
Asian service providers have opportunities to expand into foreign markets by launching MVNOs and OTT voice applications that target Asian ethnic groups living abroad. There are over 77 million Asian immigrants living in countries where the MVNO model is popular and smartphone adoption is high, such as the US, UK, Germany, and France. Some Asian operators have already successfully launched offshore MVNOs, but many Asian communities around the world remain untapped. Asian operators seeking international expansion need to carefully consider strategies such as full MVNO, light MVNO, or OTT voice applications and partner selection to profitably serve overseas Asian populations.
The document discusses the impact of Over the Top (OTT) services on the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector and its stakeholders. It notes that OTT services are disruptive innovations that provide the same products and services more affordably, making them available to more people. However, this disrupts traditional telecom operators' business models and revenues. The document examines issues around net neutrality, changing regulations, security and privacy concerns, and new business strategies that operators and regulators can adopt in response to OTT services. Case studies from India are presented to illustrate some challenges and responses.

I presented at a recent sales conference for a large security / IT solution provider on the evolution of the telco industry and the role security and protection plays in that evolution.
In summary: customer data, trust, security and protection are critical for operators to get right in this emerging environment.
Operators need an integrated security and protection layer, not point solutions for each service as is the case today. Protection from malware across all network services e.g. IP, SMS, MMS, WAP push, widgets, apps, etc. Protection in the network, in devices and in services.
SDP vendors need integrated security solution across network, services and end-points, which means a partnership with security / IT providers is key. Its a rapidly growing problem as its a highly profitable and more importantly safe criminal business compared to drugs smuggling or prostitution; hence a specialist security/protection partner is essential.
This document discusses technology trends and predictions for the communications industry in 2012. It highlights some key focus areas for Communications Technology magazine in the coming year, including monthly webinars on topics like TV Everywhere and network innovation.

BELTUG_competition study with notes_websasvangent32
Danielle Jacobs highlighted the results of BELTUG’s own research into the current situation of the business market, clearly demonstrating there is insufficient competition. “Often, organisations do not get more than one or two responses to their RFPs. There is also limited vendor switching,” she explained. “An important shift is necessary. International and national authorities need to consider businesses as a separate market with its own needs. More and more companies are looking for service providers to help them with increased complexity. Integrators (will) have 'preferred' suppliers. Often Belgacom will be one of these. BELTUG fears that there is an increased risk of dependency on Belgacom."

This document discusses the potential for carrier Wi-Fi networks to help address Africa's broadband crisis. It notes that despite new submarine cable capacity, true high-speed broadband may not be available for a decade in Africa due to congested mobile networks, insufficient spectrum allocation, and lack of infrastructure investment. Carrier Wi-Fi could provide a lower-cost solution for mobile operators by offloading data traffic onto Wi-Fi networks. New Wi-Fi standards have improved integration with mobile cores, and Wi-Fi offloading could open new business opportunities for mobile operators while reducing spectrum and backhaul costs. The document argues carrier Wi-Fi may be a panacea for Africa's broadband challenges if mobile operators and regulators embrace this technology.

About Telecoms IQ
3. “Video is expected to
represent 91% of
internet traffic.”
Cathal O’Dalaigh, Head of Fixed Broadband
4. The future is calling:
Eircom’s thoughts on Telecoms for 2011 & beyond.
What is changing for network operators over the next year?
Same old issues?
“The most pressing issue for the industry is from the broadband and data side. There is a
seismic shift in the volume of data traffic travelling through the telecoms infrastructure.
There is an ongoing need for speed amongst our broadband customers, driven by a range
of high bandwidth applications, in particular video. Consumer behaviour and internet
usage is changing, with trends moving increasingly towards ‘bandwidth-hungry’
applications (e.g. YouTube, Online Gaming, and Movie Downloads).
Video, alone, is expected to represent 91% of global Internet traffic by 2013, from 33% today.”
Cathal O’Dalaigh, Head of Fixed Broadband,
5. The future is calling:
Eircom’s thoughts on Telecoms for 2011 & beyond.
So, what effect is this traffic increase having on your company?
“There is a requirement to invest in Next Generation Networks. Teams need to expand to
manage the introduction of this new functionality to bring new speeds to the market.
Major investment upgrade programmes are certainly underway in Eircom, and in most
other major Telcos worldwide.
Introducing charging whereby customers can prioritise their traffic will be a key area of
focus. Assisting both consumers and business in doing this through ‘Quality of Service
(QoS)’ or via technologies such as ‘Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)’ is key in order to generate
new revenue.
Now, more than ever, a charging policy that maximises revenues and limits churn is
absolutely critical for the survival of many Telecommunications companies, let alone for
improving results.”
Cathal O’Dalaigh, Head of Fixed Broadband,
7. The future is calling:
Eircom’s thoughts on Telecoms for 2011 & beyond.
Any emerging topics for the industry in 2015?
“Revenue generated from voice is widely predicted to be dead within 5 to 10 years. Voice
revenue will be gone. It is a nightmare scenario for many operators. Telcos need to gear up for
the explosion in video usage over the network. It’s going to continue its upward trajectory.
Next Generation broadband is going to be a key initiative for many Telcos providing fibre to
the home. Cable operators are without doubt making significant inroads, by successfully
bundling TV, broadband, voice, and in some cases mobile. This surge in cable numbers is
being achieved with retail prices, which many Telecommunications operators across
Europe are struggling to compete against.
It’s key that new products and charges are identified and implemented before it’s too late.
If operators don’t have a long hard look at what is coming down the line, it may well spell
the end of the road.”
Cathal O’Dalaigh, Head of Fixed Broadband,
8. The future is calling:
Eircom’s thoughts on Telecoms for 2011 & beyond.
Is anything staying the same?
“Business and government markets are still secure, although revenues are under threat
from VoIP. Bundling will continue, certainly in the consumer market. It’s likely to move
towards quad-play and quin-play. Also, there will still be a relatively large cost-base
compared to cable operators.”
Cathal O’Dalaigh, Head of Fixed Broadband,
9. “It’s vital to stay in
close contact with
other operators.”
Cathal O’Dalaigh, Head of Fixed Broadband
10. The future is calling:
Eircom’s thoughts on Telecoms for 2011 & beyond.
How can Telecommunications companies learn and grow?
“It’s vital for Telcos to stay in close contact over the next couple of years. To exchange
learning, trends, threats they face, and indeed opportunities available. Companies are
similar in the challenges they face. Even while operating thousands of miles away from
each other, they face the same challenges and threats, and can collaborate and offer each
other solutions. Rather than re-inventing the wheel each time, Eircom have found
significant benefits in having close communication and exchanging views and learnings
with other operators.
There is limited benefit in hearing from operators behind the curve from you. However,
huge benefit can be gained by learning from companies at the same stage as you, and
even greater benefit from companies operating in a market ahead of you in terms of
market development.”
Cathal O’Dalaigh, Head of Fixed Broadband,
11. “There are so many elements of
customer experience. This event
covers them all.”
Orange FT Group on ‘Customer Experience Management 2011’
12. Opportunities to sponsor.
So, how can you work with Telecoms IQ to build your business?
Here are a few tried and tested ways...
13. Build prospects.
Host a workshop. It doesn’t need to be too
overwhelming – just one or two of your
top techies. Establish your company as a
thought leader and meet prospects you know
are interested in what you have to offer.
14. Meet your existing clients.
…with an exhibition booth. Nothing tells you
what’s on the mind of your customers like a
face to face meeting. According to a recent
report* it is 5 times cheaper to meet a
customer at a trade show than to visit them in
the field.
* Study published by the Centre for Exhibition Industry Research
15. More web traffic.
Thousands of visitors already view the Telecoms
IQ web portal each month. Get your product or
service in front of decision-markers from major
Network Operators and Service Providers
before the event has even started.
16. Get social media followers.
Establish yourself as a good social media
citizen, instead of a leech. By distributing
sponsored white paper content only to
followers, you can open a new channel to talk
with your customers.
17. Thought leadership.
A speaking slot can help position your company
as an innovator in Telecoms solutions. Someone
whose opinion matters. Demonstrate your
knowledge in front of a room of senior network
operators with buying power.
18. Grow your database.
Our Podcast with BT last month has achieved
many registered listeners. These are qualified,
opt-in leads with a direct interest in Telecoms
solutions. There are also a variety of upcoming
webinar topics with sponsorship availability.
19. 8.7 out of 10 sponsoring
companies rated the
overall package as
‘Good’ or ‘Excellent’
.
20. “A unique networking
opportunity where the
customer is at the top of “Within a couple of hours
the agenda where it of returning to my desk I’d
should be.” already used a couple of
ideas shared.”
“Gave me enough ideas Kind words.
to scope the next 18
months of work.”
