This market report carried out by IDATE try to answer the following question: Can network outsourcing become the norm of the industry? We believe this question falls within a much broader one on the future models of telecom operators. As carriers in advanced markets face usage, growth, globalization and regulatory challenges, they will increasingly steer away from their generalist positioning to improve their return on invested capital. |

This IDATE report explores the innovations being brought to the service bundles marketed by telecom operators: incumbent carriers, cablecos, ISPs and mobile operators. It will examine the most innovative bundles – those that combine several components of the quadruple play, those built around a core service such as TV, internet access or mobile calling, or those where innovation lies chiefly in the area of pricing. |

This report takes stock of the current state of enterprise mobile voice and data services. By conducting a detailed analysis of the catalogue of business services marketed by eleven European operators in the five largest European countries, it picks out the underlying market trends in network strategy: 3G+, Wi-Fi, handsets, wVoIP… and range of services: segmentation, content, formats, billing modes... Based on information gathered from a survey conducted in France, it then presents a number of indicators on the integration of mobile in business (take-up, consumption, budgets, planning, etc.). Lastly, by cross-checking the information produced from this analysis with supply and demand, the report offers a current and medium-term assessment of the enterprise mobile services markets. |

The Italian Mobile TV market is still in its infancy, but it could represent a very interesting test bed to verify if, and under which conditions, this service can be successful in the “digital convergence” marketplace. In fact, both Mobile valueadded services and Pay TV services are expected to develop in the near future in Italy. The way in which these two segments interact and “collaborate” (or not) in
creating the converged Mobile TV market could serve as an example for communications operators in other countries which are interested in engaging in this arena. |

While the number of effective launches and announced broadcast mobile TV solutions is multiplying, great uncertainty still surrounds the business model and expectations for profitability from this type of service. Partisans of both free and feebased solutions are putting up their arguments, while each player’s role in the value chain (whether a TV channel or mobile operator, etc.) has yet to be defined. IDATE’s report studies the main models for mobile TV services, how they work, their strengths, their shortfalls and their potential for development. It then sets out the main lessons learnt from these models concerning the key factors for broadcast mobile TV’s success. And lastly, the report provides modelling for the operating accounts of major players in broadcast mobile TV, shedding light on the key variables that influence their profitability. |

With the surge of the wireless communication market, the complexity of handset electronics has grown exponentially, from delivering a basic voice functionality to enabling access to real time videos and data services anytime, anywhere. With the development of multimedia applications on mobile, speedier and more energy-efficient components are needed, as low-power applications are one of the key features of the wireless communications market. |

Retaining customers is one of the most critical challenges in the maturing mobile telecommunications service industry. Customer churn adversely affects mobile telecom operators because they stand to lose a great deal in price premium, decreasing profits levels and a possible loss of referrals from continuing service customers. Figuring how to deal with churn is turning out to be the key to the survival of telecoms organizations. This report by IDATE sets out the real issues at stake in mobile churn management. It addresses and provides guidance on how to tackle churn both in terms of business processes (refining customer care, loyalty schemes, customer segmenting) and through the use of software solutions available. |

For handset players, the growing portion of wireless connectivity modules embedded in handsets constitutes the first step to enter the wireless ecosystem of opportunities. Today as more data transit through mobile phones, development of wireless ecosystems from WLAN to WPAN where information is transmitted thanks to short range technologies (Bluetooth, UWB, Zigbee, NFC) could greatly impact the historic use of operators network as primary data transmitter but also represent a real opportunity to diversify their business. |

Though still young, the location-based services (LBS) market is increasingly successful, driven largely by navigation applications and equipment. The range of services available is beginning to grow and navigation is being paired with local searches. While LBS market players must promote their products and services, they are still often confronted with the fragility of their business models and they must face market consolidation. In the longer term, the arrival on the market of Europe’s Galileo system should help improve performance and services, without upsetting the structure of the market. |

Centris' US Wireless Survey provides the opportunity to gain a detailed understanding of consumer preferences, at the household and individual levels, regarding next-generation voice, data, and video services (both currently and in the future). These preferences concern alternative modes of access, patterns of use, price responses and bill sizes, and service providers. The survey also enables the prediction of consumer behavior over time or as circumstances change. The survey is an essential strategic element for service providers, application and content providers, and equipment manufacturers because it takes into account the impact of various geo-demographic characteristics of consumers. Thus, it is possible to estimate and predict various metrics of consumer behavior for any consumer profile, i.e., the consumer's choices (of service use, providers, and wireless devices) and demographic characteristics. |
