Cover story—creating new business
Sharing his most valuable lessons from 30 years of experience, business strategist Torbjörn Nilsson is upbeat about the future of telecom.
Ericsson Business Review takes you to three quite different cities to investigate what new values their visions hold in store.
Seoul is the capital of South Korea and home to some of the world’s strongest high−tech manu−facturers. It is also number one on the UN’s list of connected cities.
THEME: Dubai—the vision of the Sheikh
Dubai does not have much in terms of territory, harbor or strategic trade route location, and not much manufacturing power. But it does have a vision.
THEME: Singapore—priming the digital pump
The small island-state has already built a national broadband infrastructure. During the next five years, it will deploy a nationwide ultra-high-speed fiber access infrastructure, together with a pervasive wireless network.
Reshaping the business of television
The television and media industry collectively must become the change it wants to
see – otherwise it will face a future with falling volumes, investments, and profitability. New regulation is urgently needed to provide a level playing field and remove current obstacles.
Looking at the current state of aff airs it’s clear that IPTV already is living up to its promise and does the job in several critical areas, like subscriber acquisition, reducing churn and opening up for new revenue streams – not just from television.
Ending the obsession with youth—what do consumers really want?
The key to reaching the broader masses is to fi nd services that add real value to people’s lives, making it richer and easier. Start looking beyond young consumers and their need for entertainment.
OPINION: A new MobileNet formula is needed
Philip Sugai explains why it’s vitally important for business leaders to understand what the MobileNet actually is and what makes it unique. The window of opportunity for traditional industry players is likely to close quickly.
After much hype in the late 1990s, mobile payments again stand out as one of the most interesting options for enabling a new breed of non-voice mobile services. This is especially true in Europe, owing to new regulation that is liberalizing the payments sector and encouraging telecom operators to enter this new area.
The Telstra case—a radical approach to the mobile core
Telstra is three years into a five-year strategic network transformation program. One of the program’s essential components is the radically enhanced mobile core network, which is already boosting revenues and luring customers from its rivals.
Patent strategies—a fork in the road toward 4G
The way the telecom industry works with standards is being challenged. The industry is nearing
a point when it must decide which way to go: collaboration and openness, or a completely new
business model that threatens key telecom values such as interoperability and scale.
