DESCRIPTION

The TrendLab Telco Report 2013/14 is about a major development in the telco industry, and a huge opportunity in terms of innovation for telco companies, we call it “Liberation”. The report is centred around three core consumer benefits that derive from that “Liberation”: EASE, JOY & POWER. EASE will be about a ‘new era of contracts and tariffs’, ‘enriched’ access, and the mobility of services across geographical and technological borders. JOY will be about ‘experiencing’ the net (4G/ fiber), about ‘unlimited’ entertainment through content partnerships and content- related branding strategies, and new credit and currency systems created by telco companies. POWER will be about the empowerment of people and businesses through knowledge, technology, influence and reach. Within each of these three chapters, the report will feature innovative tariffs, products and services, new patterns in communications and advertising, interesting organisational changes, promising partnerships with players from different industries and incubation programmes. BACKGROUND The net is more important for our everyday lives than ever before and the demand for services across devices, manufacturers and industries is growing rapidly. The urge for freedom by consumers is opposed to the need of monetization by telco companies: people increasingly want to use the net and digital services, however, they are not willing to get locked into proprietary systems and contracts. There is a historical chance for Telco companies to regain relevance and strength: Thanks to their access to millions of people, their technological expertise and most of all their independence as providers of infrastructure (rather than technology or devices), they are predestined for pushing the development of a new, open (!) ecosystem of digital services. Those brands who succeed in delivering services and products that make peoples’ lives easier, more enjoyable and beyond that help them realize their dreams, will grow sustainably and will matter in the digital world of tomorrow.

“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.” CÉSAR ALIERTA Chief Executive Officer Telefónica

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.

“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

Access+

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.

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.

Liberating technologies: In mature markets, WiFi innovations enable new consumption models …

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.” OLAF SWANTEE Chief Executive Officer Everything Everywhere

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.

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.” HOWARD LINDZON Author The Wallstrip Edge: Using Trends to Make Money, financial analyst and super angel investor

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.

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.
