Diffusion?Diffusion? Installed base: is huge but the number of WAP,

GPRS, UMTS phones is minimal Any evidence on the replacements?

– Most Finns/Europeans have got a phone, the lifecycle of which is getting shorter (3a downto 1a)

– Operators have an incentive to move UMTS network broadens their operations to content

management

– Technology push

Payments?Payments?(as an example of basic services)(as an example of basic services)

Merita-Nordbanken, Nokia and Visa are experimenting with the EMPS-phone (Electronic Mobile Payment System)

– You can fit on a special 7110 a semi-permanent, minisize smartcard, that can hold hundreds of payment mechanisms (VISA(!) credit and debit card as well as a Merita debit card.

– Wildest dreams equip it with Bluetooth, for cash payments

The Nordic consumers are anticipated to accept the system as Merita-Nordbanken on-line banking 1984.– Merita-Nordbanken has currently 1.1M Internet bankers in

Nordic countries It announced an expansion into Baltic countries by means of

electronic banking Available as WAP, too

Projection from 2G is Projection from 2G is dangerousdangerous

(Kankare, 2001 in Talouselämä)(Kankare, 2001 in Talouselämä)

the introduction of 2G in Finland– 2G was hoped for by the customers (1.5M in Europe)– Profit calculations were based on underestimates

e.g. Radiolinja estimate of 1989 wast to have 50-150.000 GSM-subscribers instead of 1.3M in 2000 (Häikiö, 2001)

e.g. Radiolinja estimate on turnover was 0.5bFIM vs. 3.5bFIM in 2001

– Duopoly replaced monopoly Entrant’s risk was shared with banks, insurance companies, chain

masters and heavy industry

– Monopoly pricing was not limit pricing i.e., there was 40-50% supernormal profit on calls on NMT

networks

– The demand exploded (as expected) after the 20% penetration rate threshold

– EU., time based charges catching up in the number of connections Average connection time 1/4h/day!

In mobile environment – CSD & HSCSD are expensive– SMS & USSD reasonable– GPRS/EDGE/3G ?

PricingPricingA seemingly resolved issue ;-)A seemingly resolved issue ;-)

Basic strategies– Consumer pays

Connection time - switched network (expensive) Traffic, I.e., packets - connectionless n. (overhead) Pay per service - any n. (service & no - in IP n.?)

– premium number– credit

Fixed price (pre, post) - any n. Nothing - any n.

– Banners, commercials, donate

The role of operator– intermediator?– or a retailer?

Situation is different compared – especially - to Europe:– NTT DoCoMo has a very strong position on the market

(55%)– Few internet service providers and connections available

(or price is high)– Text messaging vs. hand-held e-mail – Huge variety of light, SIM-free, miniature terminals with

color displays, cameras, recorders, players etc.– Services tightly coupled with web-servers

Technology – no rocket science– Circuit switched digital network + on top 9.6kbps digital

packet switched– cHTML subset

Why not WAP?– Timing & simple implementation– Proprietary tech possible thanks to strong market position

mobile information service business conceptin 2nd Generation

* mass marketing concept - focusing on consumer market - make best use of existing html contents (i-mode, J-Sky) - reasonable charging system; monthly flat price - reasonable pricing; lower price level as the other info. Media i.e. monthly magazines (400 .. 1,000 JPY; 20 .. 60 FIM)

* convenience store concept - mobile information service is “convenience store on the net” - provide only selected information at anywhere, anytime - continuous development of “info. site” and quick launching

Potential market size of information service

* facts - at the moment, 30% of i-mode users subscribe 2 toll info.sites (at least) - the price of info. service is 100 .. 300 JPY/month

* trial calculation - total # of subscription to toll info. site; 24million out of 40million users 40M x 30% X 2

- sales of the toll info. site; 2.4 billion JPY/month (133 million FIM/M) 24M x 100
