HIRING
• The surge in the subscriber base has necessitated a network expansion covering a wider area,
thereby creating a need for significant investment in telecom infrastructure
• To curb costs and focus on core operations, telecom companies have been segregating their tower
assets into separate companies
• Creating separate tower companies has helped telecom companies lower operating cost and
improve capital structure, and also provided an additional revenue stream

In developed markets(South Korea and the Netherlands), "over-the-top“ (OTT) mobile messaging applications now constitute a significant threat to telecommunications carriers' SMS-messaging revenues
Reasons for OTT Tipping
Technology
readiness
A cost incentive to
adopt OTT
The strength of the
OTT alternative
The social
propensity to adopt
OTT
3G and better network that enables accessibility
Smartphone penetration at high levels
Opportunity to arbitrage between data and SMS costs
High cost of SMS incentivizes to switch to inexpensive OTT
Relative Mix of Smartphones in age 18-24 years
Individual person social group is biggest influencer
Significant market penetration by given OTT app
Concentration of single Os platform with integrated IM
OVER THE TOP Tipping
Fixed and mobile telecommunications operators are pragmatically melding different technologies in order to deliver the performance customers want at costs that make sense.
Source : Mckinskey Report on Choosing Network Technology by Duarte Bacelar Begonha and Sergio Osle
Three factors that make choosing right suite of network technologies
1. Changes in demand
2. New Technologies
3. Regulatory moves
Several predictions regarding tomorrow’s telecom environment can be made
The networks of the future will integrate fixed and mobile services
Network quality, speed, and enabled services will, from the customer's perspective, become key differentiating factors
These new technologies and regulatory opportunities open broad options for operators
Emergence of Mobile Videos
Mobile video market has developed because of:
(i) Increased Smartphone penetration
(ii) Improved high speed mobile networks
(iii) Increasing demand for mobile video, and
(iv) Influx of new mobile video service providers
But it is in nascent stage, India will see several OTT, DTH and telecom operators themselves trying to leverage this opportunity
To be successful, focus of the players would remain on:
• Targeted Content: Customer segments / content preferences etc.
• Historic & Internal Analytics: Behavior analytics / trend analytics etc.
• Innovative Service Models: Live streaming / on-demand streaming / limited downloads etc.
• Innovative Business Models: Content owner’s share / operator’s share / customer wallet / sponsorship
etc.
• Quality of Service: Connectivity / better quality at lower speeds etc.
