Operators Need to Overhaul Pricing
Strategies to Kick-Start Europe’s
Lagging Mobile Content Market, Says
Analysys 12/19/2004 03:08 PM
The Western European mobile content market has been slow to take off, reaching just EUR2.3 billion in 2003, well behind Japan and Korea. Revenues could reach EUR15.0 billion by 2009 if operators resolve pricing and billing issues. New services are taking centre stage, such as mobile music, video clips and downloadable information applications. Java will increasingly displace SMS and WAP as the method of delivery for text-based information. Report includes forecasts for service adoption, spend, ARPU and revenue in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the UK and Western Europe as a whole. [PRWEB Dec 19, 2004]

Should Broadband Providers Offer
Content? 04/19/2004 12:26 PM
Apparently, the talk of a recent broadband conference was on how broadband providers needed to focus on charging for "premium" content to expand their business, which seems to miss the point (once again) of broadband services. The content that draws people is already out there, and bundling it with an internet connection only serves to add one more mouth to feed out of a small pie - and doesn't help anyone make much money. When broadband providers look at providing content, they immediately fall back into the "broadcast" mindset, where users are passive consumers of content that is pushed to them. That's not what people use the internet for. They use it for interactive services (such as email, web surfing, VoIP and file sharing), where they get to choose the content and what they do with it. At the conference, they even had people saying that SBC's latest deal with CinemaNow (to offer downloadable movies) was a huge step forward. This is the same CinemaNow that hasn't received much traction at all and has been reviewed (repeatedly) as being a terrible waste of money. The article quotes CinemaNow's competitor MovieLink as putting the blame for their failures on the broadband providers. They claim that the two movie services "offer up plenty of content," even though reviewers of the service have complained about their "pathetically thin selection." Ignoring that, however, the quote from MovieLink's CEO pins the blame on broadband providers for not making it easier for users to move movies from their PC to their television using wireless connectivity. Of course, both MovieLink and CinemaNow use heavy-handed copy protection that probably has a lot more to do with the difficulty than the broadband service providers and their support of WiFi. Instead of focusing on ways to turn broadband connections into another TV (we already have those), they should be focused on the services (not content) that people want.

Mobile Operators Want Yet Another
Standard

Mobile Operators Want Yet Another
Standard 12/31/2004 05:18 AM
How very typical... After all the hype about 3G -- which so far has failed to live up to expectations, and all the impending hype about other wireless broadband technologies such as WiMAX and FLASH-OFDM, it looks like a bunch of mobile operators have decided to toss all that and get to work on a completely new standard for mobile broadband, with the aim of being 10 times as fast as 3G. While it isn't really surprising, this is the type of thing the industry is famous for. They overhype a technology way beyond what it can do, then when people realize it really isn't that impressive, they move on to a new standard that they'll hype up for years. While there are some big players joining up to work on this project, expect it to take quite a long time for anything to actually come of it. By the time this offering reaches a commercial launch, the requirements of users are likely to have changed drastically. The competitive marketplace will also be very different. So, before people go off and declare this new, completely imaginary standard to be the wireless broadband technology of the future, it might make sense to wait a few years and see how far it's really progressed.

Excess Customer Churn is Costing Mobile
Operators Billions, Says Analysys 02/01/2005 08:49 PM
In 2003, excess customer churn cost European mobile operators EUR4.5 billion in unnecessary expenses and EUR5.6 billion in lost revenue – equivalent to 8.6% of total mobile revenues. Controlling churn so that rates are lower than competitors’ is an effective mechanism to continue to grow revenues in a saturating market. Analysys warns that mobile operators must pursue cost-effective churn-management strategies that suit their market position, or face significant loss of market share over the coming years.
