Whitepaper
It is a known fact that telco growth especially in revenue in the developed market is at its peak. There hasn’t been any appreciable growth in the last 5 to 10 years per industry reports. Telecoms media and technology (TMT) industry in developed market are facing stagnant revenue growth, market saturation and declining profitability, a far cry from the double-digit growth which companies and their investors had become accustomed to. Competition has contributed to the stifling of revenue growth. As new technologies and services are emerging, it becomes very difficult to monetize the services to get meaningful Return on Investment (ROI). In this era of “All You Can Eat” (AYCE) data, it becomes increasingly difficult for MNOs to charge for services. If it is too expensive, it won’t get buy-in from end-users leading to churn. Over the top services are not helping matters either. For example, WhatsApp, Facebook, Oovoo, Skype etc. are vigorously competing with traditional Telcos for voice, data and content services as the services are based on ad-sponsored model and “freemium” model.
