“The digital revolution has created
an ecosystem whose current
status quo has resulted in a
decline in the freedom of choice of
our customers who are locked into
closed ecosystems whilst new non-
regulated dominant positions have
emerged, which is not good neither
for customers nor the developers
or for the sustainable development
of the industry.”

Post-Contractism.
More than 20 years after the beginning of the liberalization of telecommunications, and
nearly 10 years after social media have started to become a platform of empowerment for
people, we are witnessing a change of tariff culture.
This is the early beginning of a new era, in which products and services –
telecommunications at its core – become more flexible, transparent, manageable, less
constraining and thus leave more freedom to people, contributing to a shift of power that
has started with the end of monopolism.
EASE

“Carriers have counted on staggered contract end dates and heft early
termination fees to keep people bound to them forever. But now families
can switch to T-Mobile without paying a single red cent to leave them
behind. (...). This isn’t an offer; this is a lifestyle. We will never have
contracts … We are either going to take over this whole industry, or
these bastards will change and we’ll still be wildly successful.”
JOHN LEGERE
CEO T-Mobile

Telecommunication companies have been further developing their core product
‘connecting people’ through their networks, making it more people-centric and need-
based: From providing advanced access that is easier to understand, more convenient,
reliable and secure to entering new territories like commerce, payment, fashion, and
sustainability, expanding their eco-system around telecommunications.

Tariff design: In mature markets, digitalization opens the door for new
value added services that can help (premium) telcos to push higher rates.
Mobile apps: Quick customer
service and insight into account

Retail: By tailoring distribution
channels to the specific needs of

unlock new business opportunities.

Mobilitization
As mobile devices and services cross geographical, industrial and technological borders,
they become truly mobile, increasing consumer flexibility and freedom.
On the other hand, actual mobility (cars, planes …) is merging with telecommunications,
opening up a whole new world of services and products.

Net experience:
from “blah-blah” to “ta-dah!”
The major challenge in telco communications over the last couple of years was making
network quality tangible and thus valuable for the people. A zillion pieces of
communications introducing new standards and technologies, and a zillion of disillusioning
experiences where telcos just did not deliver what they promised, has lead to a point
where people do not listen to telcos anymore. For that reason it is more crucial than ever
to a) find unconventional ways to grasp people’s attention and b) get the experience right.
By creating branded spaces, services and manifestations that truly bring the net to life,
telcos added some new types of brand experiences to their communications portfolio.
JOY
24
NET EXPERIENCE: FROM BLAH-BLAH TO TA-DAH! JOY
Liberating technologies: In mature markets, WiFi
innovations enable new consumption models …
… in emerging markets,
circumstances call for
whole new approaches.
Communications: Telcos face the challenge to
make people both understand AND experience.

“You start seeing changes in customer
behavior as soon as you introduce a
great 4G network: firstly, video
becomes much much more important.
In Japan and Korea, where you have
people commuting all the time, (in the
UK it is 77 minutes average, every
day), consumers want to make their
time exciting and interesting. Video is
25% of all the traffic we have on our
network. People do this because it is
possible. On 2G and 3G infrastructure,
they simply have to wait too long. When
a customer has to wait more than 2
seconds, they stop.”

The medium is … the telco.
”And I feel whahoo – wooo!” When Vodafone launched the “How are You?” campaign in
2001 featuring The Dandy Wahrhols’ song “Bohemian Like You”, it was
telecommunications history in the making. Pop culture and entertainment were always a
vital part of telco communications. They are reflections of modern life and nothing has
shaped modern life as much as telecommunications. Telcos have built a technological
infrastructure that fundamentally changes the way we entertain ourselves. At the same
time entertainment has become the killer use case for fast internet – at home and on the
go. Slowly but steadily, telcos are evolving from mere infrastructure providers to media
ecosystems, providing technology and content in one convenient, all-time-available
package.
JOY
28
THE MEDIUM IS … THE TELCO JOY
Reducing complexity: Entertainment, and serials in particular, help
telcos to sell complicated products in the most uncomplicated way.
Bringing 4G/LTE to life:
Entertainment remains the killer
use case for super fast internet.
Distribution: Telcos realize that their infrastructure is
perfectly suited for the distribution of (exclusive) content.
Engagement: In the digital world,
entertaining content has become the
leading currency for engagement.

“When we think of Nike in 10 years,
‘Just Do It’ will all be about FUEL. [...] I
am not sure which devices and fibers
will connect you to your FUEL, but
because you live and pay with the
currency you will have to be attached to
the currency at all time. [...] The most
surprising thing to me about my day at
the Nike Accelerator was the 30
entrepreneurs completely hitched to this
trend did not own the one currency that
was attached to this trend…NIKE. I tried
to explain the connection of what they
were doing to the opportunity to
participate, but I did not see anyone [...]
buy a few shares.”

Retail: By turning phone credit

Credit unlocked:
Towards a universal currency.
The core benefits of an ecosystem from a customer point of view are convenience and
value. Some recent initiatives have shown that a reinvention of phone credit has much
potential to add both more convenience and more value to telco ecosystems. Being
allowed to use credit more flexibly, to share it, or even to use it as a universal currency for
content, grocery shopping or charity would be a huge improvement in terms of
convenience. In return, a universal currency enables the ecosystem provider to create a
more powerful reward and loyalty system where every single activity pays off.

DIY-ment.
How does empowerment really work? How does empowerment have an impact on people
and create value? And what role does telecommunication play? A new and very powerful
answer appears to be DIY-ment. Providing tools, applications, technologies, platforms and
foremost inspiration for people to do things themselves that used to be the business of big
corporations only. DIY-ment is giving them a voice, means to express themselves, and the
opportunity to build a business and make a living. Thanks to telecommunications and
digital technologies DIY-ment has become available for everyone.

Empowering the margins.
The world is changing – all the time. To be ahead or at least part of the change, it is vital to
tap into those parts of our society and economy that are responsible for this change. To
understand it, to catalyse it, and to profit from it in the long run.
Today, the most interesting changes seem to happen or will happen in the – small or big –
“margins” of our world: women, children, start-ups, start-ups led by women, start-ups led
by women with children, developing countries and start-ups lead by women in developing
countries …

Destination Empowerment.
Empowering people, customers, start-ups, and even employees is a journey, but
increasingly also a “real” destination. The shape of such destinations varies: from a new
global business division which is the central hub for empowering the organisation, to
actual spaces where start-ups, developers, and even customers can become part of a
companies’ transformation process.

  • 11. 11 Post-Contractism. More than 20 years after the beginning of the liberalization of telecommunications, and nearly 10 years after social media have started to become a platform of empowerment for people, we are witnessing a change of tariff culture. This is the early beginning of a new era, in which products and services – telecommunications at its core – become more flexible, transparent, manageable, less constraining and thus leave more freedom to people, contributing to a shift of power that has started with the end of monopolism. EASE
  • 12. 12 “Carriers have counted on staggered contract end dates and heft early termination fees to keep people bound to them forever. But now families can switch to T-Mobile without paying a single red cent to leave them behind. (...). This isn’t an offer; this is a lifestyle. We will never have contracts … We are either going to take over this whole industry, or these bastards will change and we’ll still be wildly successful.” JOHN LEGERE CEO T-Mobile digitaltrends.com

  • 23. 23 Net experience: from “blah-blah” to “ta-dah!” The major challenge in telco communications over the last couple of years was making network quality tangible and thus valuable for the people. A zillion pieces of communications introducing new standards and technologies, and a zillion of disillusioning experiences where telcos just did not deliver what they promised, has lead to a point where people do not listen to telcos anymore. For that reason it is more crucial than ever to a) find unconventional ways to grasp people’s attention and b) get the experience right. By creating branded spaces, services and manifestations that truly bring the net to life, telcos added some new types of brand experiences to their communications portfolio. JOY
  • 24. 24 NET EXPERIENCE: FROM BLAH-BLAH TO TA-DAH! JOY Liberating technologies: In mature markets, WiFi innovations enable new consumption models … … in emerging markets, circumstances call for whole new approaches. Communications: Telcos face the challenge to make people both understand AND experience. facebook.com/ee, ee.co.uk, crave.cnet.co.uk twitter.com/BigGigAustin, cnet.com bloomberg.com, wantedinrome.com republicwireless.com telekom.de brck.com, google.com/loon horizont.net, thetutuproject.com Network havens: By claiming spaces and turning them into network havens, telcos have found a way to really deliver.

  • 26. 26 “You start seeing changes in customer behavior as soon as you introduce a great 4G network: firstly, video becomes much much more important. In Japan and Korea, where you have people commuting all the time, (in the UK it is 77 minutes average, every day), consumers want to make their time exciting and interesting. Video is 25% of all the traffic we have on our network. People do this because it is possible. On 2G and 3G infrastructure, they simply have to wait too long. When a customer has to wait more than 2 seconds, they stop.” OLAF SWANTEE Chief Executive Officer Everything Everywhere ytimg.com
  • 27. 27 The medium is … the telco. ”And I feel whahoo – wooo!” When Vodafone launched the “How are You?” campaign in 2001 featuring The Dandy Wahrhols’ song “Bohemian Like You”, it was telecommunications history in the making. Pop culture and entertainment were always a vital part of telco communications. They are reflections of modern life and nothing has shaped modern life as much as telecommunications. Telcos have built a technological infrastructure that fundamentally changes the way we entertain ourselves. At the same time entertainment has become the killer use case for fast internet – at home and on the go. Slowly but steadily, telcos are evolving from mere infrastructure providers to media ecosystems, providing technology and content in one convenient, all-time-available package. JOY
  • 28. 28 THE MEDIUM IS … THE TELCO JOY Reducing complexity: Entertainment, and serials in particular, help telcos to sell complicated products in the most uncomplicated way. Bringing 4G/LTE to life: Entertainment remains the killer use case for super fast internet. Distribution: Telcos realize that their infrastructure is perfectly suited for the distribution of (exclusive) content. Engagement: In the digital world, entertaining content has become the leading currency for engagement. vimeo.com/75012238 youtube.com/user/ShareATT youtube.com/giffgaff prosieben-smart.deyoutube.com/user/samsungmobileusa youtube.com/user/three, thefwa.com, wklondon.com

  • 30. 30 “When we think of Nike in 10 years, ‘Just Do It’ will all be about FUEL. [...] I am not sure which devices and fibers will connect you to your FUEL, but because you live and pay with the currency you will have to be attached to the currency at all time. [...] The most surprising thing to me about my day at the Nike Accelerator was the 30 entrepreneurs completely hitched to this trend did not own the one currency that was attached to this trend…NIKE. I tried to explain the connection of what they were doing to the opportunity to participate, but I did not see anyone [...] buy a few shares.” HOWARD LINDZON Author The Wallstrip Edge: Using Trends to Make Money, financial analyst and super angel investor ytimg.com
  • 31. 31 CREDIT UNLOCKED JOY bell.ca shop.ee.co.uk verizonwireless.com phoneshopbysainsburys.co.uk adsoftheworld.com kampanyaburda.com asia.cnet.com, techinasia.com, facebook.com/Kreon.Mobile.Official Shared plans: Families, friends and companies are now allowed to share their data, plans and bills. Gamification and reward schemes based on unlocked credit are already being tested by innovative players. Retail: By turning phone credit into a universal currency for shopping, telcos create a whole new loyalty system.
  • 32. 32 Credit unlocked: Towards a universal currency. The core benefits of an ecosystem from a customer point of view are convenience and value. Some recent initiatives have shown that a reinvention of phone credit has much potential to add both more convenience and more value to telco ecosystems. Being allowed to use credit more flexibly, to share it, or even to use it as a universal currency for content, grocery shopping or charity would be a huge improvement in terms of convenience. In return, a universal currency enables the ecosystem provider to create a more powerful reward and loyalty system where every single activity pays off. JOY
