4/ PLAYER STRATEGIES
Growth of the mobile telephony world
- One person = one mobile phone
- Gradual migration of the handset base
- Growing prominence of mobile data services
Changes in audiovisual consumption patterns
- Growing trend towards owning several devices
- which goes hand in hand with an increasing number of channels on offer
- Slight rise in average viewing time
- Consumers increasingly willing to pay for TV services
- and to access content on the internet.
The "natural" marriage of the telecom and audiovisual sectors
- Telecom operators
- Prime objective: to increase per subscriber revenues, close collaboration with content publishers, a core asset: controlling sport broadcasting rights, comple mentary aspects of cellular and terrestrial broadcasting networks, 2.5G/3G and
- .4G networks, the high cost of subsidising devices, growing cooperation with hardware manufacturers
- Content providers
- Finding new markets, avoiding exclusivity, increasing viewing time, simulcasting versus adapting content, broadcasting versus downloading, copyright protection
Analysis of the value chain
- Relationship between telecom operators, content providers and equipment manufacturers
- The search for value: control the content or control the subscriber?
- Role sharing or integration of the entire chain?
