WHAT IS THE BEST POSITIONING STRATEGY (SUBSTITUTION VS COMPLEMENTARITY)?

2 MBB positioning will depend on the type of market and player


CASE EXAMPLES

Emerging weak fixed In South Africa, Vodacom and mobile players winning over fixed with MBB In Ukraine, operators launching aggressive USB offer for substitution, even on CDMA In Tanzania, MBB as main internet access technology

Market maturity

+
Mature

Developing In Russia, fixed BB high-speed only in some high-end areas: mobile in others/rural In Brazil, aggressive MBB marketing by mobile only players leveraging 2.5 assets In Czech Rep., mobile BB growing but often complementary to fixed In Turkey, incumbent catching up in highspeed DSL diffusion, substitution becoming more selective

In all West Europe countries, offer sophistication for complementary usage: Bundles Pre-paid and low usage offers F/M integration for offloading capacity

In Saudi Arabia., mobile players playing aggressive vs. low-speed fixed

WHAT PRICING SCHEMES ARE BEING SUCCESSFUL?

3 More sophisticated data pricing plans combine the advantages of usage-based and flatrate offers
"Pake-hodai double" combines usage based and flatrate pricing

EXAMPLE JAPAN

Flatrate at low data usage at 3 EUR/month Usage based pricing above a certain threshold Flatrate at high data usage depending on access mode: 34 EUR/month for provider's portal i-mode and i-mode mail 47 EUR/month for i-mode Full Browser 106 EUR/month for access via PC

Providing advantages to both provider and subscriber

Gives subscriber sense of cost control linked to flatrates Market insights indicate that pay-as-you-go rate less visible than the two flat rates Scheme stimulating elasticity by inciting subscribers to reach the unlimited threshold

SHOULD I BUNDLE MOBILE AND FIX BROADBAND? HOW?

4 Fixed line integrated offer in Turkey to slow down substitution


TURK TELEKOM EXAMPLE

500 MB internet package at 9,99TL (5,99 TL for the first six months) with a 24-month contract Free 10 hours Wi-Fi/ month Additional 500 MB data upto 2GB is at 7 TL/month Excess usage fee after 2GB is 0,05 TL/MB ADSL ownership required Mobile operators charge ~30 TL for 1 GB and 10 TL for 100 MB (mostly advertised for handsets)

15

SHOULD I BUNDLE MOBILE AND FIX BROADBAND? HOW?

4 Mobile Broadband + ADSL bundles can be analyzed under different scenarios


Description Base case: No bundling Implications

Independent selling of ADSL and MBB Todays prices

Scenario A: Bundle ADSL + MBB with a discount in the upfront fee Scenario B: Bundle ADSL + MBB with hard discount

In addition to the offer in the base case, the incumbent bundles MBB to ADSL customers with a discount in the upfront fee

Lower cannibalization of ADSL ADSL market share increases Increase in MBB share

In addition to the base case, the incumbent bundles MBB to ADSL customers with a 20% discount in the bundle

Much lower cannibalization of ADSL Increase in ADSL share Significant increase in the number of MBB customers, although at a smaller ARPU Higher ADSL cannibalization Larger MBB market but at a significant lower ARPU

Scenario C: Discount in MBB (standalone)

All operators reduce MBB prices to the implied level in scenario B No cross selling of ADSL+MBB

16

SHOULD I BUNDLE MOBILE AND FIX BROADBAND? HOW?

4 Portugal Telecom offered mobile broadband services under two brands

WHAT ARE THE BEST PRACTICES IN MIGRATING CUSTOMERS TO MORE PROFITABLE PRICING PLANS?

5 Making switch to UBP is difficult, but global examples from wireless and wireline suggest customers accept change if done right
Guiding principles Description Wireless Austria Condition customers Wireline

Start by introducing FUP/AUP Use soft caps not hard caps, i.e., penalize by reducing speed Communicate to customers early and clearly Highlight benefits of UBP Offer open and transparent bandwidth usage reports

Educate customers

Make pricing transparent

Demo customer best interest

Offer rightsizing recommendations and proactive bill review

Use events to introduce new prices

Introduce pricing changes with other events such as new speed offering or new device launch

HOW TO USE SMARTPHONE DATA PRICING TO SUSTAIN ARPU?

6 Looking forward, pricing experience in fixed could suggest a possible way forward for smartphone pricing strategy
In fixed, incumbents successfully applied smart pricing techniques to react to value erosion Launching flat voice offers

Possible implications for mobile data pricing:

Give discount today to protect ARPU tomorrow and stop erosion Defend from F/M substitution Use data as lever to protect voice Obfuscate voice and data through a unique flat bundle (where possible)

Avoid visible give-away of data access value for smartphone users Where voice bundles are already a market standard, bundle with data packages If possible, avoid transparency of the voice vs. data components to protect value of data from comparability vs. aggressive players

Bundling flat voice with flat DSL

Depending on regulation

WHAT IS THE POTENTIAL OF CLM?

8 Step-changing CRM and campaign capabilities


However, to capture the full potential a full turnaround of CRM and campaigning capability is required From Targeted push campaigns can be a powerful drivers of revenues To

Flat contact policy without differentiation among cluster of users Limited number of campaigns (~20 per month) with poor possibility to test-and-learn on small targets and new products No monitoring of campaigns results and manual management of reporting 2-month lead-time from design of campaign to results monitoring Only SMS-push campaigns

Contact policy differentiated for users (animation) and non-users (recruiting) 50-100 campaigns per month, with possibility to select micro-targets and a broad range of products to optimize ROI Structured monitoring on campaigns redemptions with automatic monitoring tools to build ROI ranking of campaigns Flexible and just-in-time process (2-3 weeks ?) Exploit all channels (Teleselling, IVR outbound, Inbound, etc.)
24

Increased redemption of factor 10x to 100x through Better targeting Channels improvement through direct call to action Fit between offer and channel

Applying these levers in a throughout manner can yield significant impact
