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.

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.

SBC Promises Fiber Too, Triple Play
Fight Is On

SBC Promises Fiber Too, Triple Play
Fight Is On 06/22/2004 12:09 PM
It looks like the "triple play fight" is officially on. Yesterday, Cablevision announced their plans to give away VoIP, basically free for a year to attract new customers to their voice, video and data broadband bundle. BellSouth quickly followed with their DSL-over-TV plans in order to offer a true triple play (rather than the hedge plan of teaming up with a satellite TV provider). Today, SBC announced that they're going to invest heavily in installing fiber to the premise in order to offer higher speeds and IP-based TV. This follows about a month after Verizon made their fiber plans clear. As Broadband Reports warns, however, the telcos have a history of promising fiber and never delivering, so it may pay to be skeptical until the lights on the modem are blinking. Either way, it does look like both sides (cable and telcos) are finally coming to terms with the new state of competition in the marketplace. In this instance, the cable companies definitely have the early lead. Adding VoIP to their bundle is much easier than either building up a FTTP network or figuring out how to do TV-over-DSL. There's a lot longer history with VoIP and many of the bugs have been worked out. That's not true with TV-over-broadband, which is more difficult to build in the first place. However, looking out a few years, if the telcos can work through the issues, they may eventually have a much stronger package, offering higher speeds and more services. In the short-term, they've been able to win more customers by focusing on offering much cheaper DSL, a strategy that ignores bundling for now to try to sign up customers at cable's expense. With most customers just focused on the broadband, this strategy makes sense (and makes BellSouth's plan to stop offering unbundled DSL particularly short-sighted). What isn't discussed very much however, is the wireless element. The telcos are in a much better position to also bundle in both mobile phone service and wireless broadband services that make it so you can connect anywhere. The cable companies, for the most part, have stayed out of that area, and such bundles could keep the telcos in the game if they start pushing a different triple play of voice and data "anywhere", until they can get the "quadruple play" together of voice, video and data anywhere. No matter what, it appears the battle is definitely on, which should mean more competitive offerings for customers.

[This is an edited version of the talk I gave last fall at the State of Play conference.] I'm sort of odd-man-out in a Games and Law conference, in that my primary area of inquiry isn't games but social software. Not only am I not a lawyer, I don't even spend most of my time thinking about game problems. I spend my time thinking about software that supports group interaction across a fairly wide range of social patterns. So, instead of working from case law out, which has been a theme here (and here's where I insert the "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer) I'm going to propose a thought experiment looking from the outside in. And I want to pick up on something that Julian [Dibbell] said earlier about game worlds: 'users are the state.' The thought experiment I want to propose is to agree with that sentiment, and to ask "How far can we go in that direction?" Instead of looking for the places where game users are currently suing or fighting one another, forcing the owners of various virtual worlds to deal with these things one crisis at a time, I want to ask the question "What would happen if we wanted to build a world where we maximized the amount of user control? What would that look like?" I'm going to make that argument in three pieces. First, I'm going to do a little background on group structure and the tension between the individual and the group. Then I want to contrast briefly governance in real and virtual worlds. Finally I want to propose a thought experiment on placing control of online spaces in the hands of the users. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/nomic.html
