Key Findings
- The availability of spectrum underpins the timing and scale of LTE deployments and operators’ competitive positioning long-term. The importance of access to appropriate LTE spectrum has resulted in high bids for auctioned spectrum, acquisitions of companies with relevant spectrum and loss of 2G market share for the sake of spectrum reframing.
- Adoption of LTE differs depending on the market. As competitive operators reach nationwide coverage, adoption accelerates. To retain their high-value customer bases and keep a network edge, market leaders have to launch LTE first; challengers must minimize this edge and consider disruptive pricing strategies.
Device strategies are important in order to drive upgrades:
-Ensuring the availability of a range of devices including popular, exclusive as well as low-cost devices that meet operator configuration requirements such as frequencies and backward compatibility with 2G and 3G networks is fundamental.
-LTE device adoption can be maximized by offering low-cost devices, providing financing and annual handset upgrade options, limiting the availability of non-LTE devices if appropriate (particularly among tablets) and offering smartphones that target less technology-savvy customers. Shared-data plans also help drive adoption, and more operators are targeting LTE car connectivity.
-Pricing LTE at a premium has clearly been the right strategy in markets where demand has been strong, thus boosting margins. However, premium pricing comes with downsides and risks, which have been exposed in different markets.
-Driving wide adoption of data-intensive services is crucial to a successful LTE strategy. Relevant services must not only take advantage of LTE’s better speeds and performance but also encourage greater data usage to boost ARPS.
-LTE drives data usage, typically increasing consumption by 80-120% compared with 3G.
-LTE can provide an attractive alternative to fixed broadband; just how attractive depends on the market.
-VoLTE will reinvigorate voice services and counter OTT providers, and operator approaches and plans to providing high-quality VoLTE services vary.

Mobile Operators Go after the Connected Car Opportunity Cellular Telematics Value Chain, Business Models and Market Forecast
Telematics is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing segments of the cellular machine-to-machine market, which itself will take a growing portion of all cellular subscriptions, increasing from 2.3% in 2012 to 6.8% in 2018. Regulations are a key market driver, but competition and innovation in the insurance and OEM segments are also important.
Despite differences between the telematics service markets of OEMs, insurance companies and aftermarket providers, we expect to see increased partnerships and collaboration between these segments as the car network connection is used for a range of different services. Operators must also adapt their models to local market dynamics, especially given the variety of factors affecting telematics demand, ranging from income levels, rates of car theft rates and drivers expectations to the availability of smartphone apps.
