insight 13 | Mobile Data Challengers - Interview at LTE World Summit 2011
The smartphone boom resets the mobile industry. We are witnessing data centric phone manufacturers and OS makers dethroning the kings of the voice centric era. Likewise, challenger network gear makers that took the first moves to launching all-IP, high capacity platforms and “gigabyte friendly” pricing deals, have multiplied their market share. The mass consumer demand for smartphones has opened a similar window of opportunity for challenger mobile operators to move their market share by leaping ahead in the data transformation. The industry winners of tomorrow will be smart operators that seize the opportunity and transform themselves into very efficient data production factories with a sole purpose to serve their customers’ needs rather than restricting them by volume caps and blocking mainstream internet applications.
