How to stay relevant as a mobile operator in anunlimited-data reality?

14:50 - 15:105G Africa

• We live in a time where mobile communication isbecoming more of a utility than a value-addedtechnology

• For a mobile operator - this is a threat that it willturn into a “dumb pipe” – providing the connectionbut leaving the value-adding (and profit) to end-companies. Here's how we propose to avoid that:◦ Committing to the philosophy that a megabyte

has no cost◦ Developing a mobile-only approach to the

future◦ Building a strong mobile network, for a strong

implementation of 5G◦ Developing specific mobile operator-friendly 5G

use cases on the 4G network• The key to relevance is escaping the trap of

saturated and financially decreasing mobile marketand gain new customers with fixed wirelessservices
