Telephony is like a Marks & Spencer sandwich

Perishable product

Beautiful packaging

Own-branded only

No personalisation

“Hold the mayo…”

The highest quality…

…but at a high price

Mainstream opinion is finally catching up…

“After decades of stagnation, the voice landscape is undergoing

a seismic shift. Migration is in full swing to richer IP-based

communication, and Web real-time communication is expected

to significantly disrupt the value chain.

CSPs should reassess their strategy

to avoid being disenfranchised.”

NO more standard, interoperable services

Comforting myths about demand

Copyright Disruptive Analysis Ltd and

Good quality is critical

Interoperability is essential

Minutes / messages = value

“Voice” = ubiquitous phone calls

Uncomfortable demand reality

Copyright Disruptive Analysis Ltd and

Martin Geddes Consulting Ltd 2013 October 2013

Good quality is only sometimes critical

Interoperability is essential

for basic lowest-common

denominator services only

Intention & outcomes = value

Phone calls are

becoming less useful

Essential supply consequences

Range of levels of network quality and cost…

…from unmanaged to assured

Shift focus to embedded voice

Need new demand-driven

services model

Need personalisation and

contextualisation capabilities

Beyond “the minute” as a metric & model

“Links what

Page 60: New Opportunities in Voice and Messaging workshop - ITU Telecom World 2013

How?

Not just traditional “network services” and call control

New architectures expose or defer call control

Many value-added integration points (Hosting, security, etc.)

Multiple commercial options: Build, partner, re-sell

E.g. Vodafone OneNet vs Cisco UC + SingTel UCaaS

Enterprise segment tends to lead

Long history of making money from reselling 3rd party applications and

services and supplying appropriate connectivity

Used to re-selling PBX, video conferencing + service wrapper

“OTT” – has always been that way in the enterprise world!

Talked about for years, but hard to achieve

Copyright Disruptive Analysis Ltd and

• Expensive

• Inflexible

• Poor developer support

• Limited use-cases

• Reliance on “call” model

• Poor audio/video

• Hard to integrate

= Patchy adoption & little

developer enthusiasm / buzz

But now….

WebRTC – what is it?

An easy way to put voice & video into web browsers…

… and also apps, and devices and more

High quality, network-intelligent (eg firewalls)

Also with “context”, realtime data & encryption

Developer-friendly & user-friendly

Excitement, buzz & “cool factor”

“Democratises” voice & video. Cheap, easy innovation

More than just a tech standard. A “movement”.

Huge disruption potential for telcos & others

Operators

Milk the cash cow…

Re-think credit control

More bundling with new VAS

Refine segmentation

Customers, not devices

New payment models

…and recognise and engage with

inevitable change

Can’t limit user behaviour

“Don’t fight demand”

Lots of opportunity so accept change

November 2013

Page 86: New Opportunities in Voice and Messaging workshop - ITU Telecom World 2013

Operators should do these five things now!

1. Build off-net (TelcoOTT) service capability

2. Measure and manage on-net OTT voice quality

3. Create a value-added voice strategy

Integrated with core voice offer only where appropriate

4. Re-examine responsibility for voice

5. Engage regulator in pro-active dialogue

Page 87: New Opportunities in Voice and Messaging workshop - ITU Telecom World 2013

Regulatory and policy considerations

This is good for consumers!

Service innovation and competition

Treat like the rest of the web – progress & diversity is good

Potential huge area for digital economy + R&D

Will increase pressure on telcos in some cases

Protecting ‘national champion’ incumbent players may backfire

Regulation is going to get more complex

‘Voice’ is becoming 1000’s of apps, not just “calls”?

Revisit rules & laws to reflect new world of voice/video

Difficult issues around privacy, security, encryption
