Quality Throughout
“A Customer’s impression of quality begins with the initial contact with the company and continues through the life of the product.”
◦ Customers look to the total package - sales, service during the sale, packaging, deliver, and service after the sale.
◦ Quality extends to how the receptionist answers the phone, how managers treat subordinates, how courteous sales and repair people are, and how the product is serviced after the sale.
“All departments of the company must strive to improve the quality of their operations.”

SERVICE LEVEL AGGREMENT(SLA)
A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a formal definition of the relationship that exists between a service provider and its customer.
A SLA can be defined and used in the context of any industry, and is used to specify what the customer could expect from the provider, the obligations of the customer as well as the provider, performance,availability and security objectives of the service, as well as the procedures to be followed to ensure compliance with the SLA.
Service level agreements are often used when corporations outsource functions considered outside the scope of their own core competencies to third party service providers.
2. Typical Components of SLAsA service level agreement would typically contain the following information:1.A description of the nature of service to be provided: 2.The expected performance level of the service specifically its reliability and responsiveness: 3.The procedure for reporting problems with the service: 4.The time-frame for response and problem resolution: 5.The process for monitoring and reporting the service level : 6.The consequences for the service provider not meeting its obligations: 7.Escape clauses and constraints:

VAS
Value added services
Telecom subscribers growth rate more than 50% in 2008.
Source - TRAI
Most of the subscribers are added from bottom of the pyramid with low usage.
Some alternative revenue streams are required to stop the decreasing ARPU.
VAS is the alternative stream.
Pre paid and Post paid market share. 2008
Opportunity for generating increase revenue through exploring potential value added services like subscription pack of news , alerts etc
Need for VAS
Decrease in ARPU despite increase in subscribers.
Decreasing call rates
Saturation in metro and urban areas
Increasing need and demand from consumer
Definition of VAS

MVAS categories
Entertainment VAS
key contributor to MVAS industry
generates heavy usage and heavy revenue.
jokes, ringtones, games..
Info VAS
provide specific info to end users
news,stock updates..
mCommerce VAS
involve some transactions
buying movie tickets,transfer money from one bank to another.
Comparison of categories
Perceived and practical value
Perceived value – depend upon perceived rather than actual utility to the end user. When the immediate benefits may not be clear to subscriber, the value that the user derives from it largely depends on the marketing efforts.
Practical value – completely based on tangible benefits derived from the service. Benefits could be based on time, money etc
Pillars of VAS
Access device – lack of features like GPRS, GPS makes the number of MVAS futile
Content – it depends on geography
marketing of content is done by operators, not CA/CP.
regional content will give boost to MVAS market
challenge – different languages.
Infrastructure – setting up infra in rural areas going to play major role in growth of MVAS.
Technology - independent of geography
MVAS in rural areas.
Depends on some key factors –
1. Depend upon there need
2. Awareness for VAS
3. Easy and cheap access mode.
Communicating the VAS to rural people is bigger challenge
This can be done through regional SMS, separate SMS gateway needs to be installed.
Literacy level is another limitation
Nature of the Rural Market
Large Numbers
Low Density
Low Purchasing Power
Weak support infrastructure
Low VAS awareness (10%) & usage (1%)
Understanding the Rural Consumer
Consumers mainly use voice •SMS is difficult to use due to illiteracy and language problems•Most consumers cant even use the address book/ contacts feature•The phone is used mainly for limited purposes:–For business/ employment related enquires.–To enquire the well-being of relatives in nearby towns.–To call for help during an emergency.•Farmers/fishermen want to know market prices for their produce in cities that are nearby•Phone is not personal. A household or many families share phones•Primary & Secondary users•Intermediated Interaction scenarios
Info Services
Examples
Mandiprices in local markets.
Weather. Trains/Bus routes & timings. Local News. Investment Tips. Job opportunities in nearby commercial centers
Challenges
Cost
Low density; High investment per user. Consumer education. Localization (Content & Language).
Support Infrastructure.
Social structure.
MVAS ecosystem
Revenue distribution
Key factors playing role in revenue distribution
Platform – revenue share distribution depends on type of access mode used to deliver VAS. e.g if voice portal is used than technology enabler will get more revenue, as compared to SMS platform is used.
IPR – revenue distribution depends on type of content
Comparative analysis
VAS access modes
SMS platform
MVAS market is dominated by SMS in terms of revenue.
Voice platform
interactive voice response is used to deliver voice based value added services
GPRS platform
this contributes around 6-7% of the total MVAS revenue
Unstructured supplementary services data platform(USSD)
session based mechanism for delivery of service to the end consumers. These services are delivered through interactive voice session. Contribute around 2-3% on VAS revenue.
MMS platform
includes multimedia objects.in india it is in nascent stage
Evaluation of access modes
Drivers to growth of MVAS
Marketing effort by operators
Increase in user base
Price decline of VAS services
Entry of MVNO
Need for entertainment
mCommerce services
Local content
Barriers to growth
Limited awareness of services.
High cost of content.
Limited availability of local content.
No Transparency in Revenue sharing arrangements.
Exit barriers for MVAS consumers are high.
New services in VAS
Mobile marketing.
Mobile banking.
Location based services.
Mobile marketing
Growth drivers-
High penetration of mobile phones.
Usage of voice as a media for mobile marketing.
Mobile banking
Various modes –
SMS
USSD
Growth is driven by-
convenience of banking operations
greater reach to consumers
Challenges to m-banking-
security concerns
limited usage of GPRS
Location based services
High cost of LBS supporting devices –
GPS enables handsets act as roadblock for development of these services

Future of VAS in India
