Library of Congress review and its impact on the mobile VOIP threat

In my thoughts on the threat of mobile VOIP a couple of months ago, there were a couple of capabilities that I thought were blocking widespread adoption and hence reducing the threat to operators. Now both of those blockers are showing signs of moving away.

First, the iPhone 4 launched, bringing multitasking to millions of consumers and hence enabling VOIP applications to run in the background, enabling permenant presence. Second - and vitally - the Library of Congress has made it legal for iPhone (and therefore all) smartphone applications to crack the devices core capabilities (link). Now it is simple for VOIP application providers to enable users to utilise cellular data connections and increase the persistance of their presence as they move around.

Neither of these are mass market capabilities yet, but even so, if I were a mobile Telco they'd represent flashing warning beacons!

    Thanks for sharing such beautiful information with usVoIP is believed to be cheap, but the majority of people use it at no cost. Since VoIP depends on the web, connectivity is the secret to providing quality VoIP calls to clients on the VoIP network. Public Secure VoIP is also available with completely free GNU programs and in several popular business VoIP programs via libraries like ZRTP.

Impacts of a handset leasing model on mobile telcos

Following yesterday's post, here's some related thinking on the impacts on operators of handset leasing. Handset sales represent around 25% of operator revenues in a typical European market, but generate only around 5% of margin. It may therefore be the case that the scenario described would lead operators to a more profitable structural model than exists today. Oil companies are consistently and acceptably profitable, despite being (literally in some cases) the ‘dumb pipe’ that operators are so desperate to avoid becoming. One of the reasons for the oil majors sustained profitability is clear focus on their role in the value chain – to supply the fuel that enables transportation, relying primarily on location, then brand and finally product innovation to compete. BP or Shell do not need to subsidise the purchase of a car in order to drive consumption of fuel because consumers are ‘hooked’ on it (it gets them from place to place) and there are many credible car manufacturers an...

New business models A brilliant blog on the continuing travails of Nintendo. Wii took them on a different path to Microsoft and Sony, but have only temporarily halted long term inability to compete in hardware. http://www.asymco.com/2012/03/26/staying-satiated-and-smart/ And as if things weren’t bad enough, Sony’s next generation PS3, codenamed “Orbis” is rumoured to be coming next year. http://kotaku.com/5896996/the-next-playstation-is-called-orbis-sources-say-here-are-the-details Housing prices in tech hotspots are rising fast.
