EVOLING TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITIES

Some key trends observed over the last year
6
Rise of the second device 1
Mobile penetration has crossed 100% in many of the countries and consumers are carrying second connection/ device. Effective ARPU monetization from the second device is a major challenge for Service providers
Decline of traditional Voice ARPU
2
Service providers are losing traditional Voice Revenues but are now fighting back to ensure the “share of wallet”. Strategies include Bundling voice, launching digital voice and creating innovative services targeting voice revenues
Network Congestion/ Outage
3
Increased data demand and spikes in geographies are leading to Network congestion / outage. The continuous outage is forcing Service Providers to relook at their long term network strategy
Social media savvyconsumers
4
APAC now has one of the highest Facebook users/ Linked in users. Service providers are increasingly looking at social media but do not have a clear strategy.
OTT – Clear and present danger
5
OTT threat is clear and present danger and operators do not have a well defined strategy to counter the threat of OTT players.

The big problem for the mobile industry…

Rogers started down the VoLTE path 4 years ago
Shall be part of a company strategy, not just network/technology exercise
• Platform for new converged services and revenue streams : ViLTE , VoWiFi ,
RCS, IMS services roaming
• Service centralization / migration / introduction / retirement strategy
• Service Charging / rating strategy
Follow industry guidelines while aligned with your own company strategy
and requirements
• Interoperability is a key : inter-vendor , inter-domain , network – UE , UE – UE ,
operator to operator (non-roaming NNI) , operator to operator (roaming NNI)
Start testing as early as possible and test as much as possible
• Consider POC , Lab testing , Production testing , Drive testing and service
performance tuning
• Secure enough capable devices to be used as test tools for early test stages ,
while certifying devices and use them for later phases test activities
Develop necessary processes, tools and cross-organization skills to
support converged IP services
• Service Management Processes , Service KPIs , Platform KPIs
• Troubleshooting and diagnostic tools
• Train personnel , engage as early as possible in testing process

Rogers started down the VoLTE path 4 years ago (Cont’d)
Wi-Fi Calling Considerations
• Primary benefit is coverage extension of core wireless services using device native UI
• Location based charging is an important consideration as there is no concept of Wi-Fi
roaming
• OEM based crowd sourced location is most accurate but need a device agnostic solution
• SIM authentication provides best user experience but is not widely available from OEMs
• Off setting the cost of in building systems to provide coverage helps the business case
• Operator assisted 911 not available internationally
• Data blocking requires careful design consideration to avoid impacts to customers
CSFB will be needed for many years
• We do not have ubiquitous LTE coverage
• Carriers are deploying VoLTE at difference cadences
• Inbound roaming will require circuit switched considerations for many years
• In the interim, service consistency and parity across both domains remains a concern
Inter-carrier VoLTE - ViLTE
• Network to network interface is prerequisite
• IXP easier and faster to market, direct connect cheaper but resource intensive
• Not all Operators support ViLTE
• Capability exchange required to drive ViLTE uptake and lay foundation for rich messaging

Video Services Opportunity
•Ease of use
•Telepresence - immersive experience
•Community / network / intradomain based – voice/video/ IM “islands”
•Acceptance of new UIs in mass consumer domain
•Managed network services for QOS
•Initial interworking and standards bodies
•New delivery models – cloud, hosted
•First cost-effective business solutions
•Limited intradomain support
•Consumerization of IT
•SIP trunking
•Ubiquitous B2B B2C social net connectivity
•Web/mobile communications clients (WebRTC)
•Low cost services mass adoption w/ QOS
•Cloud enabled deployments
•Fat pipes: LTE rollouts and enterprise SIP trunking

Classifications for Value added services
• ”Value added services” have existed
in telecommunications for decades
– E.g. “Speaking clock” was
launched in France, February
14th, 1933
• Mobile VAS services built on SMS
and WAP carriers have long been in
decline in mature markets, replaced by
services based on mobile data
• Services can be further classified into
transactional services and subscription
based services
• For subscription services, several
business models exist regarding
service branding and billing
Operator own services
White label 3rd party services
3rd party branded services on operator invoice
Co-marketed OTT services

• Impact on churn

Bundling value added services can support
higher prices for superfast broadband
• Price is the most
important criteria for
consumers, followed
by speed
• Customers are
reluctant to pay

Operators and Flexible Partnership Options
Operators in US are looking to adopt the "Freemium" model in their
markets defensively or partner to expand to new markets offensively

Partnerships with value added service
providers has shown effective
Partnering with value added service providers have been
successful way to promote uptake of LTE premium packages
Sample Entertainment package offerings

Applying Lessons Learnt from the Us Market
• Compelling content is the key differentiator
• Original series is the most credible way of building brand awareness and
differentiation
• Ability to secure long term exclusive deals on content is key to success
• Localization of product and delivery
• User friendly and robust multi lingual product interface
• Building content library keeping in mind the heterogeneity of markets
• Funding and capitalization
• Since the time taken to build the critical mass is long (as seen in Netflix and Hulu
Plus), there is need for stable funding
• Building partnerships
• Key to build scalable distribution network rather quickly
• Symbiotic relationship that can monetize the network by increased data usage &
spending
• Engaging and effective user experience
• Recommendation engine that facilitates content discovery and improves
engagement
• Data analytics
• Insights into usage habits and preferences of individuals, households, friends, and
consumer segments to tailor product design and offering
• Helps in personalization of service

Superior Monetisation Potential
Once a 'free' end-user has been acquired, the most important next step is
its conversion from a 'free' into a 'paying' user, resulting in the
monetization of the newly acquired base
Underlying technology platform drives paid conversion better than world's best Internet companies
"Free" converts to revenue generation as subs use more data and take up value-added services

New Sales Potential via Value Added Services
•VAS are typically used to boost new sales with a bundle model, i.e. customer receives the VAS for free for a certain period when taking a new subscription or porting from competitor
•Bundle can extend to full subscription contract period or be of shorter duration
•Bundle can be ”hard” or ”soft”
–In a hard bundle, the service is connected to all customers signing up for subscription
–In a soft bundle, the service is optional to customers signing up for subscription
•After bundle period, customers either retain the service and start paying standalone, or revert to the free version
Impact on new sales
New sales ARPU ~25 € ex VAT
Bundle cost 25-85% standalone price (~10 €/month incl. VAT)
Bundle validity vs. contract validity (3-24 months)
Bundle is hard or soft
Service retention rate
Average sales commission (taking into account online share)

Churn Reduction Potential via VAS Offering
Churn 20%
Loyalists 25%
Premium service penetration 6-24%
Churn prevented by VAS 20-50%
0,06-0,60 percentage points Will churn regardless Non-users Bargain hunters 75%
Premium service penetration 0%
Churn is not homogenous – your most loyal customers are most likely also to buy your value added services
Extremely sensitive to the nature of the service – how much effort the customer must put into changing the VAS provider

Barriers to Mobile Video Consumption
•The number one barrier to usage is still ‘Data Shock’
•Adaptive streaming makes it difficult to explain what an hour of TV ‘costs’
•W e need communicate the maximumamount of data used for programmes
•W e can do this for most of the mainstream UK broadcasters
•Do we need to start to think about charging in duration not MB/GB?
•What challenges would that bring?
Consumer barriers to watching mobile video
Data costs too high
Content costs too high
Low internet speed
Poor Coverage
Device limitations
Accessing Content too difficult

Mobile data: traffic share by application type
In 2014 video already represented almost half of the whole data traffic,
and for 2020 the percentage share is expected to increment
Browsing and audio do not affect much on the network traffic and social
networks are expected to keep the same traffic share (around 15%)

Mobile financial services gaining momentum, although Kenyan M-
Pesa success yet to be replicated
GT Bank and Etisalat partner for savings account – May 2015
Nigeria GT Bank and Etisalat have partnered to introduce GTEasySavers, a savings account designed to enable “underbanked” and “unbanked” individuals to achieve their financial goals while operating a regular bank account via their mobile phones. Etisalat subscribers can open a GTEasySavers account by dialing a USSD short code.
Moov enables MFS transactions between 4 West African units – March 2015
Mobile operator Moov has enabled cross-border MFS transactions between Cote d’Ivoire, Benin, Togo, and Niger. Branded “Flooz”, the MFS platform allows users to send and receive up to XOF750,000 ($1,200) per day.
Orange and Airtel partner for cross border MFS in West Africa – March 2015
Orange and Airtel have enabled cross border MFS usage between Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso. This partnership builds on the existing “Orange Money International Transfer” offer, which enables Orange Money customers based in Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire and Mali to carry out cross-border money transfers. Since its introduction in July 2013, the service has been a considerable success with over 200,000 users to date. Airtel Burkina Faso and MTN Cote d’Ivoire had reached a similar agreement in 2Q14.

MTN launches pan-African IoT platform (May 2015) MTN Business rolled out a
pan-African Internet of Things (IoT) platform, providing enterprises with greater
control and advanced management features for their connected devices and SIM
cards. The launch also sees the introduction of a global M2M SIM card, which gives
customers the same rate for M2M activity across MTN’s footprint in Africa. The
new IoT platform is now live in South Africa, with other MTN operating countries
set to follow over the next 12 months.

Spectranet and iRoko partner for
VOD on LTE
Nigerian ISP Spectranet has
partnered with online video service
provider iRoko TV to enable VOD on
Spectranet’s LTE network. As an
introductory offer, existing and new
Spectranet LTE customers will get 30
days free viewing and downloading
on iRoko platform. Subscribers can
access iRoko content by browsing
directly on the provider’s website or
by downloading iRoko’s Android app.
According to Ovum, Spectranet had
a 24% share of the Nigerian LTE
market, estimated at over 400,000
subscribers in 1Q15.

Monetization and service delivery : engagement is
driven by providing relevant and personalized offers
• Customer analytics enriched by real-time
‘trigger’ automates relevant offer to be made
direct to customer’s device
• Using Facebook with no data plan – provide
free Facebook pass – then upsell data
• Roaming with data switched off – upsell
roaming pass
• Watches a lot of Netflix or listening to lots of
streaming music – upsell to next tier that has
bundled TV or Spotify premium next time they
start listening to music
• Watches a lot of videos and stating to watch a
video– offer higher speed tier for HD viewing
• Poor network experience – send apology, or
suggest trying video at off peak time with
discounted rate, or re-allocate at a higher speed
for 1 week (if valuable customer)

Organizations are largely disconnected from

Critical areas of weakness identified
 Leadership ‒ Slow decision-making, suggesting
command-and-control is still prevalent
 Partially engaged workforce ‒ Lack of
empowerment or concern for their aspirations
 Weak sensing capabilities ‒ Largely flying blind as
lack both insight and foresight
 Fragmented/disjointed customer experience ‒
Insufficient to meet rising customer expectations of
what a good experience should be – a bolt on
approach to technology
 Innovation is haphazard ‒ No disciplined broad-
based innovation management capability in place =
hostage to fortune
 Poorly aligned, overly complex & disconnected
mission critical processes ‒ Negative impact on
productivity and efficiency & critical information
flows
 Lack an adaptive enterprise architecture ‒ Held
back by legacy systems and ad hoc IT approaches.

Customer experience – various sources of
complexity can make solutions difficult
Complexity of
products
Pricing complexity
Switching
processes
Contractual
restrictions on
ability to switch
Imbalance between
parties’ rights &
obligations
Bundled services
Importance of
services
The complexity of products and speed of change means that consumers may find it difficult
to understand the products they are buying and to compare them in order to reach a
purchasing decision.
Pricing complexity can make choosing the best deal difficult.
These can lead to poor consumer experiences and result in harm to consumers who attempt
to switch (and/or port their number). This can be a feature in mobile markets where there are
low incentives on CPs to agree to switching processes that are good for consumers.
There is an increasing trend towards CPs seeking to introduce contractual restrictions on
customers’ ability to switch e.g. longer minimum contract periods (‘MCPs’) and penalties if
they wish to exit the contract during this period.
W here both parties to a contract have equal information and resource, they will also have
equal ability to negotiate terms and to enforce. However, in consumer-to-business contracts
this is not the case. It is often difficult to understand the implications of small print.
The growth of bundles can generate valuable upside for consumers, but can also serve to
exacerbate many of the issues identified above.
The growing importance of communications services such as mobile to enable citizens to
take full part in society and the economy has drawn attention to gaps in provision or take-up
where there has not been a commercial case for CPs to invest and provide service.

With Essentials2020, Orange is moving

Conclusions and recommendations
CEM is all about driving profitable growth by focusing on the customers rather than the internal challenges
CEM demands a holistic approach. It is not only about technology and processes, it is about building a customer-centric organization
Start small – It makes most sense for operators to initially focus on CEM as an enabler rather than a differentiator

Some of VoLTE Launch Challenges
VoLTE client & chipset integration
Addressing limitations in technology
Coverage gaps between legacy & LTE
Vendor product gaps – feature requests
Customer Experience
Single number routing is a major issue
Standards do not define how service synchronization between CS and IMS works
Avoids duplicated charging on users IN, SRVCC calls
Biggest challenge with ensuring user experience!!
Seamless vs. new and improved
Service Parity
Option 1: Re-invest capital to re-do features on new platform
Option 2: Start fresh with new capabilities
Options 3: Only keep the popular services, not all CS services

Beyond VoLTE: Customer Centric Service
Innovations
 Revive Lost Business Sources
 Create New Revenue Streams
Address Daily Needs of Modern Connected Lives
Enable Distinct Persona & Context for Conversations
Solve Very Specific Communication Challenges Innovate Like OTTs to Establish Operators as Primary CSP

Ovum survey and whitepaper (Feb 2015)
• 50% of MNOs to deploy international VoLTE within 6 to 12 months of
domestic

VoLTE vs OTT Voice Call
• VoLTE improves service quality of existing voice calls and differs from OTT
voice calls by its guaranteed QoS (quality of service)
・Basic services provided by carriers that must follow telecom regulations
・Various players offer voice call services based on internet technology (VoIP)
・No regulation and quality is NOT guaranteed

VoWiFi Business Drivers
• New Services - Compete against the main OTT VoIP and video
competitor (Skype) – enhanced user experience / loyalty /
Incremental revenue
• Offer Indonesian or anyone outside Indonesia a service to call back
to Indonesia without incurring Roaming Charge
Offer Indonesian subscribers a service to receive calls on the
mobile number without incurring Roaming Charge
Coverage & Network Offload - Better user experience and
macro network offload (70% of mobile usage is inside
office/home) – lower churn and cost
• Easy Billing - A challenge in many Asian countries with low use
of online payments and credit cards - faster revenue realization
• Brand Dilution - Avoid being perceived as a “dumb pipe”
provider - attach users to innovative services and keep the
brand fresh
• Network Transformation - Prepare the organization to more
easily evolve to IMS based HSPA+, VoLTE and RCS services – 4G
network readiness

Consumer Use Cases for VoWiFi
‘Roaming CS Avoidance’
Improved Service Coverage
‘Roam Like Home’
Roaming for Non-Subscribers When roaming, use WiFi for calls
 WiFi App detects handset is roaming
 Calls are always placed using WiFi
 Usage is ‘home rated’ based on home plan Consumer benefits from local rates. Home operator benefits because it gains revenues from calls which otherwise would have been made on a competitors service or not made at all and avoidance of bill shock.
Use roaming 3G/4G data plan for VoIP calls
 Roaming Data may be lower cost than Roaming Data
 Total data consumption of a VoIP call is low
 Its lower cost to make a VoIP call over 3G than CS
 When roaming app uses 3G/4G data network as VoIP call. Consumers benefit by avoiding costly Circuit Switched calls
Switch to WiFi in poor 2G/3G coverage
 Users are surrounded by multiple network bearers
 WiFi App selects WiFi bearer when its available and best choice.
 Usage is still ‘rated’ based on users plan. Consumer benefits from extended coverage and quality. Operator benefits from revenues from calls which otherwise would have not been made and avoidance of bill shock.
Visiting users buy package of local ‘voip’ minutes
 Users download ‘app’ when arriving in new network
 Calls are routed as VoWiFi or VoIPo3G/4G
 Rated using a local pre-paid plan rather than roaming Consumer benefits from local rates. Roaming operator benefits from increasing local termination revenues which might have otherwise been avoided. Home Operator benefits from lack of bill shock.,

What Operators are Saying about VoLTE and
VoWiFi
Clear conversations and
reduced background
noise so you feel like
you’re right next to each
other. Make and receive
high-definition voice
calls and enjoy:
• Crisp call quality
• Less background noise
• Simultaneous voice
and data at 4G LTE
speeds
May 23, 2014
VoLTE is the next
major advancement in
LTE; customer benefits
include faster call
setup times (almost
twice as fast) and HD
Voice.
Launching VoLTE is
our first step toward a
host of rich
communication
services and additional
innovations around Wi-
Fi calling.
May 22, 2014
We believe the
combination of this
robust network along
with the new features
is going to create a
new, meaningful
experience for our
customers for their
calling needs.
HD Voice and video
calling would be the
two main services
initially offered through
VoLTE technology.
May 20, 2014
EE has announced
plans to launch VoLTE,
with a VoWiFi service…
both promise
improvements in
quality-of-service over
traditional circuitswitched
calls.
Both services are
enabled via an IMS
capability in EE’s
network.

Virtualisation evolution and roadmap

Offering Rich Communications Services
(RCS) as a Multimedia Application to
combat OTT Competition
By ALI Saghaeian

Objectives
• When shall mobile operators act on RCS
• What are the drivers for RCS adoption
• Exploring RCS as a platform in an Ecosystem
• Enabling enriched IP communication experiences
and an openAPI to expose assets for partnering
• How VoLTE and RCS fit together
• RCS/VoLTE to provide a Platform for Contextual

Agenda
• RCS to provide competitive like-for-like services
as OTT
• Providing promising business opportunities for
RCS based services
• RCS based business model, creating additional
revenues for telco operators
• RCS Feature request tsunami!
• RCS Monetization Options
• RCS-e to VoLTE evolution
• RCS and VoLTE to complement each other

RCS = Modern Communications
Foundation is IMS - “raise the bar”
… must view RCS as not a replacement
for telephony but as modern
communications..
The very nature of communication is
shifting
Give consumers what they expect, or
they go elsewhere
Multi-device… mobile/tablet/PC
experience integrating messaging,
media, video, voice

RCS enables operators to provide competitive
like-for-like services as OTT but better…
OTT competition
• RCS-e is about competing with
Whatsapp, etc.
• RCS v1-4 was about competing
with Skype, etc.

When shall mobile operators act on RCS?
•It is not too late and mobile operators have still a lot of value to protect
•However to stay relevant, acting now is key
Time really matters Shift of end-user to smartphone apps to communicate is happening fast
•Messaging: SMS is already less used than IM
•Voice: shift can accelerate with 4G availability and stronger capabilities of OTT apps.
Lots of value can still be protected
Messaging: 41% of OTT messaging App users use IM more than SMS
BUT
Voice: ONLY 7% of OTT voice App users use VoIP more than legacy voice

Drivers for RCS adoption
 Operators focusing on an all IP future
– Services like RCS and VoLTE key to maintaining customer
relevance
– VoLTE puts many of the building blocks in place
 Increasing availability of handsets with VoLTE+ RCS native
clients being shipped by operators including as Open Market
Devices
 Increased collaboration between operators resulting in greater
interoperability
– Interoperability operator to operator within one country
– Use of IPX Hubs to enable global interoperability
 Consistent high levels of consumer demand for rich
communications
Ubiquitous Access and Full Interoperability are still key!

RCS Monetization Options
Compare different deployment options and business models in order to
illustrate several business models and their potential impact
•No RCS based services are launched – business as usual.
Case 0 – “Do Nothing”
•An RCS based messaging service is launched with a monthly fee per subscriber, but data usage is not charged.
Case 1 – “Launch with a Monthly Fee”
•An RCS based messaging service is launched, and data traffic is charged, but there is no specific monthly fee for the features
Case 2 – “Launch Free and Charge for Data”
•An RCS based messaging service is launched and emulates through advertising and other digital product sales (Games, stickers, etc.)
Case 3 – “Emulation”
•The user is charged for every RCS transaction, (chat, VoIP call, file share etc.)
Case 4 – “Pay per Use”
•A new RCS based service is launched to give mobile numbers to non-GSM devices in anticipation of conversion to paying customers in the future.
Case 5 – “Future Customer Recruitment”

Incremental functionality RCS Video
Video calls over LTE ‘Green Button Promise’ communication services

The Stony Road to VoLTE: RCS-e to VoLTE
evolution – more than just a service
• RCS-e/Joyn marked the starting point for
voice evolution to VoLTE
• Requirements:
– Embedded Joyn clients on devices
– IP Multimedia Subsystem in place
– Evolved Packet Core in place
– MSC extension for SRVCC
– Integration with OSS/BSS
• Hypothesis:
– Operators will not be able to
compete against OTTs messaging and
VoIP services. The key for success of
Joyn is to offer it as a platform for
contextual communication services.

Case Study – Take Call from RCS/OTT
Typical RCS Skype or Viber
Sub B will see Sub A MSISDN and takes the call Sub B CANNOT see Sub A MSISDN as calling party info is not available. Sub B might not answer unidentified calls...

Case Study – Custom RBT
Sub B can receive the call via VoWifi/VoData, Sub A CAN hear customized RBT of sub B Sub B can receive the call via skype or viber client, but Sub A CANNOT hear custom RBT of sub B

Case Study – Video Calling with QoS
Sub B can receive the video callon LTE or managed WiFi without any QoS issues Sub B can receive the video call via skype or viber client, but the video quality cannot be guaranteed
