    By Steve Costello

    Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia,

    yesterday switched focusaway from the companys

    smartphone activities to discussopportunities in extendingconnectivity to the unconnected,stating that 80 percent of the worldspopulation today are in cell phonesignal range, and yet only 20 percentof them are connected to the internet.

    We can change that, collectively.Speaking in a keynote address at

    Congress, Elop highlighted the fact

    that developments in this area arebeneficial both to the industry andconsumers. For Nokia, its good for

    business. But I must tell you that forthe last four months I have travelledall over the world to talk to partnersand customers, and the impact ofmobile devices in the remote parts ofthe world is remarkable.

    While the Nokia head noted thatwhen it comes to bringingconnectivity to new markets, oneof the most important connectionsis the first one,he also stated thatwe can go beyond just voice andSMS connections on mobiledevices.Operators and developerscan create apps and services to

    deliver a range of functionality tosubscribers, he argued, and extendInternet access to new customers.

    In order to drive growth in theseemerging markets, Elop promised acontinuous enhancement and newinvestment in the companysmass-market Series 30 and Series40 device portfolios, which play anincredibly important role in theNokia portfolio even if they areovershadowed in column inches byits smartphone strategy. Featuresset for wider penetration includedual SIM support, touch-and-typeinput, and QWERTY keypads,

    although the need for anaspiration design was alsotrumpeted: Regardless of where

    you are on the economic pyramid,you want to feel great about whatyou carry in your pocket.

    Nokia is also set to make adeliberate investmentto expand itsservices, including the alreadyavailable Nokia Money and NokiaLife Tools. Its roadmap includessocial networking, instantmessaging and email solutions forlow-tier users, and an extension ofNokias mapping offerings to Series40 devices. Elop also said thecompany will drive third-partyinnovation in this area, through

    global partnerships with localdevelopers, in order to deliverproducts targeting specific markets.

    The CEOs of Intel and Cisco

    yesterday highlighted howthe mobile internet is driving

    fundamental changes in the mobileindustry, business, individuallifestyles and society at large.

    I would not have thought thattechnology would change politicsor democracy. But it changed the

    American electoral cycle, it justchanged two countries and its notgoing to stop there. Its a liberatingtechnology, said Intels PaulOtellini (pictured top left) in akeynote yesterday. So whos goingto win? Mankind is going to win.

    Noting a parallel with the

    computing industry, Otelliniobserved: What you are seeing isthe last fully integrated phonemanufacturer become horizontal.More positively, he concluded: Thenet result is that over time you willsee more innovation, morecompetition and more players.

    Ciscos John Chambers, pickedup on the theme of industries intransition. Each time a transitionhappens, you have to bet five to ten

    years before its obvious, or youmiss your window,he said, beforerecalling the incredulity thatgreeted Cisco when, at Comdex in1997, the company predicted all-in-one data-voice-video networks.Cont. on P6f

    Reliable home coverageremains a key part of thefemtocell proposition. In fact,

    the home still represents themajority of femtocell deployments,according to a recent market statusreport. One suspects, therefore, thathome users short of space may

    welcome Picoch ips advancedHSPA+ solution, on show at Mobile

    World Congress, which enablesbase stations on USB sticks.

    However, recent developmentsare helping to change theperception of the femtocell or, as

    Will Franks, founder and CTO offemto pioneer Ubiquisys, said at theFemto Forum press conference onTuesday morning: This has gone

    way beyond the home.Certainly some of the 19

    commercial femto deployments, the34 announced deployments and,according to Simon Saunders, chairof the Femto Forum, many moreoperators behind the scenes [thatare] moving towards commercialdeployment, are doing more than

    just supporting home coverage. Thatincludes enterprise propositions,shopping mall installations andoutdoor or rural coverage in areas asdiverse as Afghanistan, Japan andSaudi Arabia.

    Attendees were informed that Wi-Fi need not be seen as a threat tofemto growth. According toSaunders, Were seeing thatapparently competitive picture

    receding...were seeing integratedproducts and as a forum were

    working on an initiative on integratedfemtocell/Wi-Fi networks.

    The continuing role of femtocellsas a key part of the smart offloadthat operators are seeking to handle

    volumes of data in a sustainablefashion, as Saunders put it, couldprovide them with an even greateropportunity in the future. Or, as

    Andy Gothard of Picochip said, Itsevident that we need femtocells tobuild out LTE.

    Products are already starting toemerge linked to LTE rollout.However, some speakers suggesteda dual-mode platform approachneeds to be emphasised because, as

    Josh Adelson of Airvana said, Asexciting as LTE is and as great atechnology as it is, 3G is going to bearound for probably as long as mostof our careers.

    The work done by BlueVia,Telefonicas recentlyannounced initiative to

    establish a group wide appdeveloper community, may wellfeed into OneAPI, a GSMA projectto develop common network APIsacross multiple operators.

    Telefonica has extended theOneAPI specification to provideextra data formats [XML and JSON]

    when request ing APIs, RubenMellado, Bluevias head of productand technology, told Show Daily.This is to facilitate web

    development with developer-friendly formats and extends thecurrent form-urlencoded approachin OneAPI 2.0.

    At the formal launch of BlueVialast week, Telefonica announcedthree of its own common network

    APIs SMS, advertising, and userprofile that could be accessed byapp developers across its networksin Argentina, Mexico and the UK.

    Yet one of those network APIs SMS had already been

    standardised by OneAPI incooperation with OMA (OpenMobile Alliance) but BlueVia didntuse it. Mellado says Telefonicapreferred to evolve the OneAPIspecification to accelerate adoptionof BlueVia API by developers.

    Kevin Smith, project Leader ofOneAPI for the GSMA, says he

    welcomes BlueVias input. OneAPIneeds to be relevant and useable to

    web developers, so we look forwardto addressing BlueVia suggestionsas part of our specificationupdates,he says. Fortunately, theyare available in the OneAPIfoundation specification [OMAParlay REST 2.0] and are trivial tointroduce.

    Later this year, Telefonica intendsto spread its common network APIsfurther across its footprint, reachingBrazil, Chile, Columbia, Germany,Ireland and Spain.

    New network APIs are also in theBlueVia pipeline. A MMS network

    API will be launched on the nextmonths, says Mellado, while an in-app billing network API is

    scheduled for commercial launchno later than July this year. Onepossible use of in-app billing is forapp developers to chargeconsumers extra for a premium

    version of their apps, which thenappears on their regular mobile bill.

    Aside from releasing commonnetwork APIs across its footprint,Telefonica hopes it can woo appdevelopers through new revenue-sharing arrangements on individual

    Its the device thats always on.People always have it with them.There are five billion mobile

    subscribers. How can we not payattention to a market like that?

    Michael Roth has good reason topay attention to mobile advertising.He is chairman and CEO of IPG, aglobal provider of advertising andmarketing services that has over4,000 clients, about 41,000employees worldwide and someUS$6 billion in revenues.

    Speaking at Tuesdays conference

    session on Integrating Mobile into aBroader Advertising Campaign, heexplained how mobile can be one ofvarious channels or touchpoints such as print, TV, digital, socialmedia and others through whicha brand and its relationship with aconsumer can be developed.

    Advertisers can leverage allthese different approaches and usemobile as a key point in linking allof them together,said Roth.

    And then he showed hisaudience how.

    The iconic Mastercard pricelesscampaign has engaged consumersagain but in a new way through afree Priceless Picks app that islocation-aware and can therefore

    alert users t o priceless things andgreat deals near them. It alsoallows users to submit examplesof things or events they think arepriceless. And it is integratedwith other media: TV commercialsdrive consumers to the web orApple App Store . Another freeapp allows users to win tokensthat could then be migrated to anXbox game when it was of fici ally,and very successfully, launched.Roth gave further examplestaking in sportswear, make-upand news agencies, allcombining useful apps withprint, TV and other forms ofadvertising to help develop a

    relationship between the app,the brand and the consumer.

    For the moment mobile ad spendis low, but projections indicate thatin a couple of years it will triple toUS$14 billion. I wouldnt besurprised,Roth said, if it gets thereeven sooner.

    Very high 3G take-up is a keyfactor in Telstras plans todeploy LTE in its 1800MHz

    band. With 82 percent of its user-basenow using 3G, the Australian operatorhas sufficient 2G capacity headroomto be able to re-farm its 1800MHzspectrum from GSM to LTE.

    On Monday, Telstra announced itwould overlay LTE on the worldsfirst HSPA+ dual carrier network -announced here at the GSMAMobile World Congress last year. Ata press conference on Monday, thecompany revealed more than100,000 subscribers were currentlyusing its Next G service which runsin the 850MHz band.

    LTE will be deployed in high trafficareas in the central business districtsof all Australian capital cities by theend of 2011. Ericsson is supportingthe network upgrade while SierraWireless will deliver multi-mode,multi-band dongles.

    David Thodey, Telstras CEO, saidthat it made sense to add LTE to

    meet growing demand for data: 50percent of all mobile users inAustral ia are now usingsmartphones. He also describedhow recent market researchundertaken in Australia revealedthat consumers still consider qualityof coverage to be the mostimportant factor when consideringa mobile phone service. Ease-of-use, battery life, price, weight andscreen size are considered lessimportant. Telstras marketing willfocus on overall user experiencerather than promoting headlinedata-rates.

    Meanwhile, Ericsson CEO HansVestberg said: 1800 is a band thatcould be very global. The 1800MHz band is one of nine FDD andTDD bands that operators havealready requested should bebrought within the GlobalCertification Forums LTECertification scheme.

    indicating that as with its existingUS operation, it will use the 4Glabel for HSPA+ rollouts andwith Wi-Fi also featuringprominently in the mix. It stated

    that its intention is to offer mobileInternet at DSL speed in anylocation on any device.

    In a statement, Edward Kozel, chieftechnology and innovation officer ofthe company, noted: The key featureof the 4G experience is that ourcustomers will always automaticallybe able to use the fastest connectioncurrently available, on state-of-the-art, high-performance, intuitivedevices. It wont matter whether thisconnection is based on Wi-Fi, LTE orHSPA+.

    The company said that largeportions of its US network havealready been upgraded to deliverspeeds of 21Mb/s, which will beincreased to 42Mb/s later this year.It was also noted that thebandwidth available to customersin Europe is being massivelyincreased. HSPA+ is alreadyavailable in six European markets,with a further four upgrading laterthis year. 3G capacity is also beingexpanded in metropolitan areas,where usage is especially high.

    Deutsche Telekom is also in theprocess of rolling out LTE inGermany, having connected 1,000areas during 2010, and with 1,500additional markets to follow in2011. In line with German

    MTS developed a tool tostudy social networkingtrends in Russia that led to

    a significant reduction in churn,according to a presentation madeby Mikhail Gerchuk, chiefcommercial officer and vicepresident of the operator during theSocial Networking: Social GoesMobile session Tuesday. It offers anexample of how alliances betweenthe mobile industry and socialnetworking can work.

    Introduced at the end of 2010, thetool detects MTS users whose socialnetworking traffic via the operatoris falling. With 50 percent of users,the fall is an indication that they areabout to churn, says Gerchuk. Theresults thrown up by the tool acts asan alert to the operator. Afteridentifying them, we give them anoffer, he says. This interventionistapproach has led to a 27 percentdecrease in the operators churn.

    Social networking is huge inRussia with users dedicating over sixhours a day to the activity, more than

    countries such as the US and UK,said Gerchuk. In a second initiative,MTS has attempted to capitalise onthe popularity of social networkingby partnering a leading Russiansocial network to offer a servicecalled Red Quest that links onlineactivities with users fulfilling offlinetasks. Initially a pilot, MTS plans alarger rollout of Red Quest on abigger scale later this year, evencreating a TV tie-in.

    Kevin Thau, Twitters vice presidentof business development, gaveanother view of how integrationbetween social network, mobileoperators and handsets can work.Both operators and handsets vendorsare building Twitter into the fabric ofdevices, he said. The social giantstarted on mobile phones (althoughthe huge growth in its popularityoccurred via its website). Twitter hasover 200 partnerships withoperators to deliver their Tweets asSMS, said Thau. The social networkhas also been integrated into theBlackBerry OS by RIM.Twitter is verycomplementary. Its not over-the-topbut flows through service offerings.

    Q&Ar

    Which emerging device categories do you think will see the biggest

    growth in 2011, and why?

    When you think about what the connected world looks like, the low-ha

    fruit you see today are the computing devicestablets are very hot, as we

    eReaders and the portable navigation devices. Looking ahead just a bit, t

    connected car and digital home, and the connected devices in the health

    industry will start to evolve. Those are things we are starting to happen to

    and will be huge growth opportunities tomorrow. Weve only scratched t

    surface on what can be connected today. Customers and manufacturers

    beginning to see the value in these connected devices, and that is going t

    lead addition to them to bigger and better things in the future.

    What do you think will be the dominant connectivity payment model fo

    connected consumer devices?

    The dominant model will be giving customers choice. We offer severaoptions for manufacturers and customers today, including prepaid, post

    and wholesale models. The devices and the experience will determine t

    model, and right now, they all play an important role. Its not clear than

    anyone model will emerge as the dominant example.

    Does the potentially uncertain usage patterns of emerging devices cau

    network planning issues for operators?

    Were connected all kind of new and non traditional devices today and

    usage patterns have not been an issue. We dont anticipate that they wi

    in the future either. Most of these devices, like a digital photo frame, an

    eReader and a connected navigation device are bursty, not thirsty...mean

    they arent gobbling up a steady stream of data around the clock. Its als

    important that you plan closely with your network team, as we do.

    How important will Wi-Fi be in serving emerging device customers?

    Wi-Fi is a critical element to the future of all devices... emerging and

    smartphones alike. Wi-Fi is relatively inexpensive to enable, offloads the

    macro network and customers like it. It should be a staple.

    Will operators play a role in the emerging market device supply chain,

    will retailers be the most significant?Its a combination. Some of these emerging devices are going to make

    more sense on the shelves of a Best Buy and others and in some cases,

    makes sense to stock them on the shelves of an AT&T store. And, in a lo

    instances, they belong in both.

    Does the provisioning and management of embedded CE devices creat

    challenges for operators?

    I can only speak for AT&T, and its not a challenge. Weve got a dedic

    emerging devices organization which oversees a dedicated emerging d e

    certification lab in Austin which serves as the hub for testing network

    compatibility, data performance and audio quality for a broad range of n

    traditional, wirelessly-enabled devices.

    We also support a variety of emerging consumer electronic and busin

    devices through a proprietary platform AT&T Control Center, powered

    Jasper Wireless. The pl atform accelerates market entry for connected

    devices while offering unique features such as instant activation and flex

    rate plans that benefit device manufacturers and end-user customers,

    including consumers, small businesses and enterprises.

    Amobile money service that issuccessful in one country

    will not necessarily provepopular in another there is noone-size-fits-all solution. That willbe one of the key messages fromRon Hirson, co-founder and SVP of

    product and marketing at Boku which offers a global mobilepayments platform when hespeaks at Congress today.

    Like most other payment systems,mobile payment is a country-specificproposition,Hirson told Show Daily.Each country has multiple variablesthat determine the right type ofsolution. Cultural bias towards cash,credit, debit, and bank accountpenetration is an important one, butthere exists a multitude of variables,such as technology available, countyregulation, mobile and onlinepenetration, GDP per capita andpurchasing power, and PCE [personalconsumption expenditure].

    The most successful mobilepayment systems to date, observesHirson, have been those that havemanaged to adapt best to differentcountry characteristics andindividual needs. NTT DoCoMosiD service, for example, by securingmerchant partnerships withpopular retail outlets (such asMcDonalds) has enjoyed high take-up. In South Korea, Hirson says theemphasis on convenience hashelped mobile money take off.Users in that country must useauthentication devices and tokens

    obtained from their domestic bankin order to purchase anythingonline, he says. With paymentservices, such as Mobilians andDanal, it is just easier to enter yourmobile number.

    And in some emerging markets,where large swathes of thepopulation are unbanked, the

    convenience of mobile banking is allthe clearer. Safaricoms M-Pesaservice in Kenya, for example, hasreportedly 12.5 million accountholders since its launch in March2007. Mobile to mobile transfers aremuch easier than any other paymentmechanism in Kenya,adds Hirson.

    Despite the growing momentumbehind NFC (near fieldcommunication) technology, withboth Google and Apple showinginterest in contactless payments viathe mobile phone, Hirson says it

    will be only the next wave if thecountry-specific characteristics aretaken into account. In order forNFC to really take off, we still have

    some work do around ubiquitousacceptance locations, tailoring it toeach country and that countrysconsumer need, he says. Somebusiness model market approachissues also need to be resolved. Willthe card networks cut the operatorsin or cut them out? Will theoperators work with card networks,banks, or go it alone? Who ispaying who and what is their role?

    Q&Ar

    What will be the key themes of your presentation?

    At Mobile World Congress, I am participating in a panel discussion on

    topic of LTE, looking at voice and other key services.

    How is the LTE ecosystem progressing toward the introduction of a stan

    voice solution?

    The ecosystem is very complete to provide these solutions. For Cisco

    VoLTE solution will also incorporate enterprise voice solutions.

    How do you see the VoLGA/VoLTE situation playing out?

    The industry is now in agreement that CSFB and One Voice (using IMS

    the direction the industry is going. CSFB is standardised now for operato

    that are not ready to move to IMS. All of the industry is now in alignment

    the long-term strategy based on IMS. 3GPP endorsed IMS as the vision a

    this has been under standardisation in 3GPP using MMTel TAS in conjuncwith SCC server (TS 23.237) and the standard IMS core.

    Recently, the One Voice Initiative, a group of operators and carriers, hav

    defined the preferred way to ensure the smooth introduction and delivery

    voice and SMS services on Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks worldwide

    One Voice is not a new standard, but aims to ensure compatibility between

    networks and devices by creating a common profile, which defines an opti

    set of existing 3GPP functionalities for use by vendors and operators. The

    Voice initiative has jump-started the move to an IMS solution for LTE netw

    What about the migration of SMS/MMS services to become applications

    using LTE?

    The industry has now standardised SMS over SGs using the standard S

    interface that allows the MME to connect to the MSC and provide SMS dir

    over LTE. This can be used as a precursor to pure SMS over IP technique

    when the industry moves to IMS.

    Is there significant operator demand for migrating voice and SMS to LT

    The market window is beginning now with the first rollouts. Infoneticsreported in a recent survey of service providers, voice migration strategy

    which was unclear last year, is sorted out this year, with IMS identified as

    key architecture. 59 percent of respondents will offer voice services over

    one year after commercial launch. This means that 10 to 15 operators w

    be rolling out Voice over LTE networks beginning in 2011.

    The Infonetics market research noted that when asked specifically abo

    likely scenarios for voice services in the 4G domain, 71 percent (37 percen

    year) said they will likely deploy IMS to run voice over 4G; 65 percent (37

    percent last year) are likely to offer voice over 4G phones when commercia

    available; 41 percent of respondents will implement circuit-switch fall bac

    percent last year); 41 percent will leave voice on 2G as long as possible; a

    VoLGA loses four points from last year and falls to 12 percent of responden

    Has your experience with early LTE projects shown that the technology

    performing as vendors and operators expect for data services?

    Its performing better than expected with lower latency being one exam

    of noticeable differentiation.

    What developments do you expect to see in the industry during 2011?

    We expect to see more integration of techniques to lower the cost of th

    network through optimisation and increase revenue through monetisatio

    Astrong launch for mobilebanking services is criticalfor success, because in the

    the very early stages of a projectthere is a crossroads betweenspectacular success and marginalsuccess, Aletha Ling, executivedirector of emerging marketsfinancial player Fundamo, toldShow Daily ahead of herappearance at Congress today.

    It is a tipping pointphenomenon where building andmaintaining momentum in theearly stages of the market areessential. It hinges on getting all ofthe critical success factors right,

    which would include:understanding your consumer andcreating the right product at theright price; establishing andincentivising the right distributionchannel and the right behaviours;and having a platform with theflexibility to fine tune as you learnmore about the market and to scaleas volume,she notes.

    The number of elements that needto be in balance in order to launch asuccessful mobile service makespropositions to market significantlymore complex. On the one side it isreally simple: remember that this isabout what consumers need, so thebiggest factor in the ultimate

    business success of these services isto figure out what the killerapplication is and how to get it tothose consumers.

    On the flip side it is incrediblycomplex because of a variety ofreasons including: the number ofplayers in the value chain; themajority of target consumers havingnever transacted electronically; thechallenge of finding and activatingan effective distribution network;issues around regulatorycompliance; and the technicalchallenges of integration into the

    wider ecosystem,Ling said.This complexity means that we

    would estimate that only about 10percent of all the services thathave been launched to date canbe regarded as spectacularlysuccessful.

    While there have been a numberof high-profile successes in

    launching mobile banking services inAfrica, with Safaricoms M-Pesabeing the textbook example, themarket is by no means saturated,Ling said. Collectively we need tounlock the DNA of consumer uptakeand we need to do it in a morepredictable way. This will help us togrow the ecosystem, create morecommercial offerings which providemore things for consumers to do andfigure out how to extend the serviceeffectively to retail points.

    Of the markets still exhibitingpotential, Nigeria will in 2011become a key mobile financialservices battleground. Fundamohas already worked with operator

    MTN to launch its MobileMoneyservice, which Ling argues containsall the right ingredients to becomean extremely successful service.

    And she is also clear on thesignificance of operators in theecosystem: Beyond the obvious

    which is that they own and operatethe infrastructure that providesconsumers with access, their keycontribution is that operators havebeen the primary catalyst for mobilefinancial services. Operators havemade a major contribution to theaccelerated growth of the industryand will continue to drive theindustry and deliver spectacularlysuccessful services.

    Orange, which announcedplans for a majorintroduction of NFC-based

    mobile payments systems at theend of last year, expects thetechnology to become mass marketduring the next 12 months. 2011seems to be the year when we willbe in a position to give our

    customers a choice of handsetscompatible with contactlessservices as well as the enhancedSIM cards they require,says AnneBouverot (pictured), Oranges EVPmobile services, speaking to ShowDaily ahead of her appearance atthe conference today.

    In addition to the hardware,Bouverot says the operator is alsoseeing the development of theright ecosystem for NFC with anumber of local and globalpartners. These longer-terminitiatives are now starting todeliver visible results, she says.

    Orange says it has proveddemand exists for NFC-based

    technology with several trialsaround its footprint during 2010. Inparticular, its commercial, multi-service and multi-operator trial inNice, France, with 3,000 users

    showed there is a great appetiteforNFC-based services, says Bouverot.

    She says those users whoparticipated in the trial showed aninterest in using NFC technologyon the citys transport system. Inparticular, we have noticed a clearappetite for transport services instead of an easily forgotten buspass our customers just need theirmobile phone to take the bus.

    There are still hurdles that NFCtechnology needs to overcome inorder to attract a mass audience.Interoperability and security are themost important, according toOrange. The former must startlocally between mobile operators,says Bouverot, because serviceproviders need to be able to deal

    with operators in a unified way.International roaming for NFCbetween operators is alsoimportant... in the same way thatour customers can call and text from

    anywhere in the world, we wantthem to be able to use contactless

    services at home but also abroad,she says. And users will expect tofeel reassured about the security ofusing NFC-based systems ifadoption is to be widespread.

    Earlier this week, Orangeannounced plans to launch anNFC-enabled handset called theSamsung Wave 578 in a number ofits European markets. Models fromother vendors including LG andNokia will follow. The operator saysthat by the end of 2011 over half ofits new smartphone models inEurope will be optimised for mobilecontactless services.

    New NFC-enabled SIM cardswill be introduced for Orange

    postpaid customers in most of itsEuropean operations from thesecond half of 2011, the operatorsaid at the end of last year. Theoperator plans to equip at least

    500,000 of its French customerswith NFC-compatible handsets bythe end of this year. AndEverything Everywhere announcedlast month that it will launch acommercial mobile paymentservice in the UK in the secondquarter of 2011. The launch will

    build on the existing relationshipbetween Orange, which is one halfof the Everything Everywhere joint

    venture, and Barclaycard, the UKcredit card company.

    The biggest issue constrainingthe growth of Telekom Austriais the weight and complexity of

    regulations, claimed the companysCEO Hannes Ametsreiter in aninterview with Show Dailyyesterday.

    The exec maintained that onlyoperators in Europe suffer from thishigh level of telecoms regulations, withthe authorities not believing in marketforces to provide adequate control.

    Why not regulate the price ofBMWs? noted Ametsreiter,frustrated by government and EUinterference in the telecom sector

    when compared to other industries.However, the CEO was

    undaunted and believed that thecompany could grow with mobilebroadband acting as the driver. Id

    like to see every laptop connectedto the mobile network, and Impleased to see the tablet developingas a new category needing wirelessconnectivity. There are alreadyaround 50,000 iPads in Austria.

    Meanwhile, the operator hasplans to expand the deployment ofits LTE network to cities other than

    Vienna. Subscr iber numbers,which are small at present, willincrease once we have lower-pricedLTE dongles that should becomeavailable by mid-year. These devicesare currently very expensive.

    But Ametsreiter was clear thatLTE would not greatly change thecompanys approach to business.Its all about yield management.Fill the network with as many usersas possible, even though they mighthave very different usage profiles.

    Rather than let the likes ofGoogle and Skype erodetheir customer loyalty and

    revenue, mobile operators should

    fight back and offer OTT (over-the-top) services of their own. That is thekey message at the GSMA MobileWorld Congress from FernandoNez-Mendoza (pictured), CEO offonYou, a start-up provider of cloudtelephony services.

    Mobile operators are notpresent in the OTT world today butthey should be,he told Show Daily.After all, it is they who made theOTT party possible in the first placewith higher-speed networks andsubsidised smartphones.

    Headquartered in Barcelona,privately-held fonYou offers aproprietary cloud telephonyplatform, dubbed OMT-9000, for

    which it has developed a range ofOTT services and business models.

    Through the use of a web browser,either on a PC or a smartphone,mobile users can access advancedcall control features, such asblacklisting unwanted calls or SMS,converting voicemail to email, oreven setting up different voicemailgreetings for different callers.Nez-Mendoza argues that mobileoperators, by securely opening uptheir core networks to the Internet,can provide more innovative andcompelling cloud-based servicesthan OTT providers.

    Last month, fonYou announcedthe first commercial OMT-9000

    launch by a mobile network operatorcustomer Cell C in South Africa.Cell C is bundling its advanced voiceand email management services tohigh-end customers only as part ofits existing tariff plan. The freemiumbusiness model, where a minority of

    users pay for a premium version of aservice and the majority get a basicversion free, also holds out muchpromise, according to fonYous CEO.

    As an MVNO in Spain, withTelefnica the host RAN provider,fonYou can showcase its services andprove they work. Nez-Mendozasays fonYou has tens of thousands ofMVNO customers, but the focus ofthe business is firmly on winning

    more OMT-9000 customers.

    KPN Mobile International isto establish a jointdevelopment programme

    with Chinese vendor ZTE to chec kout both FDD and TDD versionsof LTE.

    KPN has network operations inBelgium and Germany, and is anMVNO in Spain and France. In2010 KPN was a big spender in theGerman spectrum auctions,purchasing blocks of spectrum inthe 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2.1GHzand 2.6GHz bands. In the highestband, KPN has both paired andunpaired spectrum.

    The new agreement followsearlier deals when KPN contractedZTE to provide access networktechnology, a contract which wassubsequently extended to covercore network and HSPA wirelessaccess technologies. The packet-based network is now fully

    commercial and is delivering highspeed services in Germany.

    More recently ZTE has deliveredthe co-branded Lutea smartphonewhich has proved a huge successwith customers in Belgium andGermany.

    Explaining the rationale behindthe ZTE agreement at a pressconference yesterday, KPN Mobile

    International CTO Erick Hsaid, We see our HSPA netwthe workhorse for the neyears. However, we see dbeing huge and we are tboth FDD and TDD variantsnow in order that we will bprepared when the need

    Two giants of the mobileindustry, Vodafone andChina Mobile, yesterday

    signed a strategic co-operationframework agreement at MobileWorld Congress.

    According to the agreement, thetwo operators will continue theirexisting co-operation in areas thatinclude; exchange of corporate

    management, technical andoperational expertise: enhancedroaming; multinational customers;green technology: network roadmapmanagement, joint innovation andR&D: and promotion of convergedLTE technology and LTE terminaldevelopment. The aim is to improvecompetitiveness, and enhanceinfluence in international industryorganisations and the value chainby partnering in management,technology and operations.

    Although Vodafone sold its 3.2percent stake in China Mobile forUS$6.6 billion in September, the twocompanies said at the time theywould continue to work together. Atthe time, the areas mentioned forco-operation included roaming andtechnical development. The ongoingrelationship between the twooperators is based on a strategicalliance signed in 2000.

    The mobile industry is on theverge of undergoing anotherstep in its evolution with it

    being positioned as the hub forconnecting with many other devices.

    This is the start of a journey thatwill see the mobile phoneconnecting to many things aroundus,said Paul Jacobs (pictured), CEOQualcomm yesterday. Our phoneswill become our sixth sense, andwere at a similar stage of evolutionto when the mobile Internet startedto happen.

    The CEO claimed there would behundreds or thousands of things

    around us that we would be able toconnect to. These connections couldbe associated with people, places,services or content within closeproximity to the individual, with thephone sitting at the centreorchestrating how it would connectand interact with other devices orservices that are connection-enabled.

    However, Jacobs, speaking atyesterdays Congress keynotesession, warned the audience thatpeer-to-peer (P2P) technology wascritical to making this level ofconnectivity a reality. He claimedthis would mean devices with radiossupporting multiple standards, andwould be a technically complexarea. This will see devicessupporting many OS platforms andradios including NFC, GPS,Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular, as wellas fixed and also operating in asecure manner,said Jacobs.

    The problem of discoveringconnectable devices or things would also present problems, andJacobs warned that simplicity wasanother key requirement: otherwiseit could be a significant barrier touptake. There will need to beimprovements to handset UIs, andsome CE devices are also not goodat this today. However, we believe

    implementing augmented realityon the phone could help ease thisproblem by providing a muchimproved UI.

    While this discuss ion of thephone connecting to things isunderway, Japanese operator NTTDocomo has already started tomake progress building a subscriberbase of 100 million embeddedwireless modules.

    The companys CEO, RyujiYamada, indicated that this was onlythe start and that Docomo plannedto enter the converged servicesmarket focusing on the industrial,automotive and informationappliances sectors. This is only thestart of our embedded business, butalready we have 1,000 Japanesecompanies using wireless modules.We will look to boost this customerbase by improving the capabilities ofthe modules and services.

    This emphasis on buildingDocomos converged servicebusiness was put into focus byYamada who stated that his biggestworry was about becoming a dumbpipe. We are more at risk now thanever before, but I believe ournetwork intelligence is key tooffering advanced services.

    s evidenced above, MNOs are clearlyfocusing more on the source of energyof their networks. MNOs have

    become proficient at generating their ownoff-grid power, and increasingly, usingalternative energy such as solar and wind. Inaddition to offering an environmentallyfriendly source of power for base stations,MNOs are now finding that they have surpluspower available, and, late last year, the GSMAannounced a new initiative, CommunityPower from Mobile, a part of the Green Powerfor Mobile Programme, in partnership withthe International Finance Corporation. Thisprogramme is designed to support andencourage MNOs and tower-sharingcompanies in developing countries to provideexcess power generated by their base stationsto local, off-grid communities.

    This initiative will utilise the excess powercreated by base stations, by distributing it intothe local community for both small and largeneeds. Typically with more than 5 kilowatts(kW) of excess power each, the off-grid basestations will be used to charge a range ofdevices such as mobile handsets, lanterns,household batteries, and ultimately, to powerbusinesses, clinics, vaccination refrigerators,schools and homes. The off-grid base stationsare often physically close to villages, whichmeans that communities will no longer haveto travel long distances to charge devices.

    Our industry is fully aware of how itimpacts the environment around us and moreand more we are working to make that impactwholly positive. Just over a year ago, theGSMA issued the Green Manifesto, which

    outlines the mobile industrys plans to lowergreenhouse gas emissions per connection by40 per cent by 2020. In November 2010, we

    launched the Mobile Energy EfficiencyNetwork Benchmarking Service, which will bea key enabler in achieving this goal.

    Mobile is serious about enabling otherindustries and sectors to be green. Byleveraging mobile-enabled ICT solutions,global greenhouse gas emissions could bereduced by 20 per cent annually. This massiveopportunity should be capitalised on as themobile networks and ICT technologies arealready in place, ready to be used in a smart

    way. The GSMAs Green Deployment Trackeris a Google Earth-based tool which shows allof the green mobile deployments operatorshave live at the moment there are nearly10,000 green mobile deployments today, andthere are a further 5,000 which should be liveby March 2011.

    MOBILE MONEY FOR THE UNBANKEDWithout question we all know how sociallyimpactful the mobile industry is. The GSMAshugely successful Mobile Money for theUnbanked programme continues to workwith operators, financial institutes such asIFC and in partnership with the Bill andMelinda Gates Foundation. We aresuccessfully driving a number of projects toenable people to send money safely, quicklyand cost-effectively, outside of the traditionalbanking system. We are well into achievingour target to make mobile money servicesavailable to 20 million new unbankedcustomers living under US$ 2 per day by 2012

    by extending the reach and reducing the costof formal financial services, and our industryis enhancing the way whole communities liveand carry out business by helping themachieve stability, economic growth andfostering entrepreneurial opportunities.

    MWOMEN PROGRAMMELast year was a very exciting time for theGSMAs Development Fund as, with thegreat support of U.S. Secretary of State HillaryRodham Clinton and Cherie Blair and herFoundation, the GSMA launched themWomen Programme. This programmeexpands on the research that we published atlast years Mobile World Congress with theCherie Blair Foundation, which showed thatsome 300 million women around the worldlacked the mobile phone that men have. Thislack of mobile access is denying these womenand their families a critical enabler for socialand economic development.

    The mWomen programme represents anunprecedented global public-privatepartnership between the mobile industry andinternational development community.

    Previously the GSMA was at the drastically reducing the cost of handthose at the base of the economic pthrough our emerging handset progand now, in the next three years, we wbreak down the barriers for more thmillion women who are deprived of mdeveloping countries.

    We have already secured the commfrom 21 leading mobile companies to sthis programme, operating in ovdeveloping countries. We are workinorganisations across the entire ecosystem to provide the necessary teassistance, value-added services andresources in order to break down the bthat previously have held these wome

    When Sir Edmund Hillary made his first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953, heused messengers to carry communications from his expedition to the nearesttelegraph office. More recently, climbers have relied on satellite phones tocommunicate their progress and achievements to the outside world. Thanks toour industry it is now possible to make both a mobile phone call and surf theinternet from Mount Everest as 3G solar-powered base stations have beeninstalled along the route to Base Camp. Previously this would have beenimpossible to achieve with diesel, but these base stations are able to withstandsub-zero temperatures and the severe weather conditions, ultimately allowingthe 50,000 international mountaineers who trek Everest each year to stayconnected. The GSMAs Green Power for Mobile initiative is working closelywith mobile network operators to provide environmentally sound alternativesto traditionally powered base stations wherever they are!

    ANALYSIS | INDONESIA

    Fast-growingIndonesian operatorsprepare for LTE rollout

    By Matt Ablott,Senior Editorial Analyst, Wireless Intelligencewww.wirelessintelligence.com

    Mobile connections in Indonesia arecurrently growing by around 30percent a year, reaching 197 million

    in Q3 2010. Mobile penetration stands at justover 80 percent, suggesting this stronggrowth should continue for the foreseeablefuture. Although Indonesia has eight mobileoperators (as well as three fixed-wirelessoperators and several WiMAX providers), themarket is dominated by three large GSM-

    based networks, which together account for85 percent of the country's mobileconnections: Telkomsel, Indosat and XL.

    Telkomsel is the clear market leader with a46 percent market share and was forecast tosurpass 100 million connections by year-end2010. It is currently the seventh-largestoperator in the world by subscribers.

    Telkomsel's customer growth is attributablemainly to its attractively-priced prepaidproducts, 'simPATI' and 'Kartu,' whichhelped the operator add 6.4 million newcustomers in the second-quarter. This markeda recovery from a weak Q1 last year whichsaw it record net additions of just 306,000.However, Telkomsel is also reporting stronggrowth in non-voice (SMS and data) revenue,which grew by 14 percent to IDR6.17 trillion

    (US$680 million) in Q2 to account for 28percent of operating revenue.

    Telkomsel already offers 21Mb/s HSPA+ inIndonesia's main cities and has been triallingLTE since August last year with networkvendor ZTE. Migration to LTE is being co-ordinated with Singapore's SingTel whichowns 35 percent of Telkomsel which isworking on a "regionally compatible LTEnetwork" that will cover its APAC footprintacross Singapore, Indonesia, Australia(Optus) and the Philippines (Globe Telecom).Telkomsel has also recently hired TelecomItalia to assist with its '2011-2015 TechnologyPlan,' which will define its networkinfrastructure strategy for the next five years.

    Second-placed Indosat which ismajority-owned by Qatar's Qtel has yet toconfirm LTE migration plans but became oneof the first operators in Asia to upgrade todual-carrier 42/Mb/s HSPA+ last June.However, the operator recorded a 72 percentslump in net profit in Q2, a period that sawits replace its entire senior managementteam. Indosat is in danger of losing itsnumber-two position to Malaysian-ownedXL, which has recorded strong operationaland financial numbers in recent quarters. XLis the strongest of the big three operators interms of 3G with over 19 percent of itscustomer base migrated to the fasternetworks, though connections growthcontinues to be driven by prepaid customers.XL has conducted LTE trials with Ericsson.

    Meanwhile, the CDMA-based operatorsare looking to consolidate in order to keeppace with t heir larger r ivals. Smart Telecomand Mobile-8 which have almost 7million customers between them haveformed a new joint-venture known asSmartFren that intends to share the sameretail and distribution network and carryout joint marketing (though will stop shortof a full company merger). Similarly, CDMAfixed-wireless operators TelkomFlexi andBakrie Telecom are reportedly seekingregulatory approval for a US$1 billionmerger that will create a new entity witharound 25 million connections, whichwould make it Indonesia's fourth-largestoperator by subscribers.

    Migration toward LTE in Indonesia iscomplicated by a spectrum licensingenvironment that means that almost all thecountry's airwaves are currently used byexisting operators and broadcasters with nospectrum band deemed to have sufficient freecapacity to successfully support LTE rollout.The regulator has identified 1.8GHz as themost likely band, though this will still requireextensive spectrum re-farming. Otherpossible bands such as 2.6GHz - run therisk of interfering with existing Pay-TV,satellite and broadcast services, whilethe broadcasters' move from analogue todigital TV which would free up the'digital dividend' 700MHz spectrum has yetto begin.

    Joss Gillet, senior analyst at WIntelligence, believes Indonesia hpotential to become one of the markets to watch with regards to roLTE services. We estimate that Incould account for as much as 11 perthe total LTE connections in the Asiaregion in five years, reaching over 10 LTE connections,he claims. We expeoperators to begin LTE network tes2010/11, leading to possible pre-comlaunch (limited in scope) beforeHowever, this best-case scenario is cuhampered by regulatory constraints. Tregulator (DG Postel) is investigatimost efficient options to trigger a wavedeployments either re-farming spauctioning additional bandwidth or redigital dividend bands. But lnegotiations between telecommunand broadcasting authorities angovernment could mean it will take atcouple of years before LTE servicintroduced to consumers.

    Gillet adds that regulators in markeas Indonesia or New Zealand are aligniown timelines against large economieregion notably Australia - to see howill repurpose their digital dividend spand learn from best practice. In the melocal mobile operators will continue to consumers about the benefits of broadband and get ready to migrate networks when the time comes.

    Indonesia was the world's fifth-largest mobile market in the third-quarter lastyear and was on track to surpass 200 million mobile connections before end-2010,according to recent Wireless Intelligence data. The country's main operators arealso revealed to have made good progress in migrating customers to 3G networksand in some cases have already outlined LTE plans. However, Indonesia's prospectsof becoming an early adopter of LTE are currently hampered by spectrumconstraints and other regulatory issues that may take some time to untangle.
