6. TO2‘s Strategic challenge
Customer wallet is shifting from traditional telecom products and services to
ICT, creating new opportunities but also a challenge to the existing business
model
• Significant new wallet created in the areas originally dominated by IT firms
• Traditional telco revenues in decline
• ICT providers are also positioning themselves to offer traditional telecom services,
pushing telecom incumbents into becoming wholesale providers and losing the end
customer relationship
As a result, most telcos increasingly successful in penetrating areas originally
dominated by IT firms
• Leading players currently generate up to 20% of revenues in the business segment in
ICT
• Moreover, ICT also contributes to protecting revenues from traditional telco business
