Wireless Network Infrastructure
Infrastructure is very expensiveMust be extremely reliableEntrenched carriers want backward
compatibility with existing equipmentNew carriers in developed countries
want disruptive technologyNew carriers in emerging economies
want financing

The Incumbent Advantage
Carriers want: Reliability Backward Compatibility Financing Sales Support
The big four: Ericsson, Lucent, Motorola, Nortel

Attackers Use Disruptive Technologies
Samsung: cdmaOne Started with CDMA phone Entered GSM market in 1999, sold 17.6m phones In Feb 2000, shipped $30m of network infrastructure to
Sprint PCS for Peurto Rico
Cisco: Wireless data Data networks will be switched by Cisco routers Along with Motorola, bought LMDS group of Bosch Acquired Clarity Wireless, alliance with Broadcom for
chipsets

Part of the consumer electronics industry
Brands are transferable across wireless standards
Consumers care about cost and designNew features (WAP), reduced weight,
and improved style brings repeat customers

Characteristics ofnetwork operators
Hold licenseBuild and operate the physical network
infrastructureCurrently all players are vertically
integrated into doing subscriber interface
Many players horizontally integrated into portals and Value Added Services (VAS)

Trends in network operations
Consolidation Vodafone AirTouch + GTE + Bell Atlantic
Mobile = Verizon BellSouth + SBC Communications = ? Vodafone takeover of Mannesmann Stop press: NTT DoCoMo buys 15% of KPN
Mobile for $4.6bn (5/9/00)Battle for licenses (both 3G and in general)Emphasis on non-voice services

Issues facing network operators
What is the value of licenses?Open VAS platform or “fence in”Maximize load on network -
important economies of scaleSupply wholesale to VMOs*?Which technologies to invest in?

Customer handling
Most carriers handle their own customers Branding Customer service Billing
Virtual Mobile Operators are resellers of the capacity of network operators (Virgin, Palm.net, RIM, Sense.Communications)
Prepaid services are gaining popularity

Economics of wireless subscribers
Key Performance Indicators: Customer acquisition cost (currently ~$330) Churn (currently ~30%/yr, growing to >50%) ARPU (Average Revenue Per Unit; ~$45/mth)
Trends Increasingly aggressive marketing Churn reduction and ARPU increase through
Value Added Services
