The world of TV is gradually entering an era of personal programming.

Increasingly, the Internet Protocol is being used to distribute television services. But the protocol, which has become common to a wide array of fixed and mobile networks, offers myriad scenarios and options for implementation. This shift favours the emergence of new entrants, in particular telecom network operators, service providers and aggregators. This study has two objectives: on the one hand, to provide a frame of reference enabling a more focused appreciation of the changes and challenges associated with turning to IP for video distribution; on the other hand, to gain a sense of what the market for video over IP will look like in the near future with regard to services, players and systems. |

Spurred in large part by the growing ubiquity of broadband, innovation on the internet has never been healthier. The online giants (Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, eBay…) naturally top the ranks for the most popular flagship services, and are developing aggregation strategies for new high-potential services (blogging, VoIP, video, mobile, etc.). Technological innovation (new products and services) is at the very heart of the internet giants’ strategies – all locked in a battle for audience, which has led to the launch of a host of new services, to increasingly broad (sometimes too broad!) diversification and to a very active partnership and acquisitions policy. |

This report takes stock of the current state of enterprise mobile voice and data services. By conducting a detailed analysis of the catalogue of business services marketed by eleven European operators in the five largest European countries, it picks out the underlying market trends in network strategy: 3G+, Wi-Fi, handsets, wVoIP… and range of services: segmentation, content, formats, billing modes... Based on information gathered from a survey conducted in France, it then presents a number of indicators on the integration of mobile in business (take-up, consumption, budgets, planning, etc.). Lastly, by cross-checking the information produced from this analysis with supply and demand, the report offers a current and medium-term assessment of the enterprise mobile services markets. |

This IDATE report explores the innovations being brought to the service bundles marketed by telecom operators: incumbent carriers, cablecos, ISPs and mobile operators. It will examine the most innovative bundles – those that combine several components of the quadruple play, those built around a core service such as TV, internet access or mobile calling, or those where innovation lies chiefly in the area of pricing. |

Over the next two to three years, the mobile gaming sector will undergo numerous technical, editorial and industrial changes, taking it into an era of prosperity that will not come without the risks associated with accelerated growth. The main conditions for change are now becoming established: broadband networks are being deployed, usage is confirmed with new game genres, handsets can now compare with dedicated gaming platforms, publishers are perfecting their editorial strategies and digital distribution services are taking shape… the sector is now ripe! |

This market report carried out by IDATE try to answer the following question: Can network outsourcing become the norm of the industry? We believe this question falls within a much broader one on the future models of telecom operators. As carriers in advanced markets face usage, growth, globalization and regulatory challenges, they will increasingly steer away from their generalist positioning to improve their return on invested capital. |

New platforms, such as news groups, stock & share platforms and video sharing sites, are developing at a rapid pace and private solutions, such as closed communities and the use of instant messaging, are now becoming more available. IDATE’s report presents the value-added chain of content exchange on the Internet, technical innovations and key players, based on a number of case studies. It offers components for measuring piracy and sets out the main tools for countering illegal exchange. |

Faced with a slowing growth rate of ad revenue for the small screen and the rising popularity of off-the-grid viewing, TV channel operators are working to forge themselves a position on the web to take advantage of the huge increase in advertising investments in this medium. Capitalising on the strength of their media brands, broadcasters are offering new TV services online. This “new media” strategy, which is being deployed by TV channels across the board in North America and Europe, is forcing changes in media chronology, new business models and a change in the TV broadcaster and aggregator businesses – moving from the delivery of a push type TV service to the distribution of programmes in pull mode, while working to create a more personalised and interactive relationship with viewers. |

The sustained growth in Internet traffic and its expansion over the next few years could result in saturation of the infrastructure. Faced with such a prospect, how can the players involved plan for sharing the required investments and, more importantly, how can operators position themselves to capture the value associated with distributed content. |

Building a more and more intelligent network has been a long-term goal. But what does ‘intelligent’ mean? As a term, it is easily misinterpreted and seen as a fuzzy notion. Opposed to a ‘dumb’ network on which packets are transported to their destinations without any questions, an intelligent network has the ability to monitor network behaviour along with end-user experience. It is the in-depth data made available by Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) that makes the network more intelligent, thus adding some smarts into a network infrastructure. |

Retaining customers is one of the most critical challenges in the maturing mobile telecommunications service industry. Customer churn adversely affects mobile telecom operators because they stand to lose a great deal in price premium, decreasing profits levels and a possible loss of referrals from continuing service customers. Figuring how to deal with churn is turning out to be the key to the survival of telecoms organizations. This report by IDATE sets out the real issues at stake in mobile churn management. It addresses and provides guidance on how to tackle churn both in terms of business processes (refining customer care, loyalty schemes, customer segmenting) and through the use of software solutions available. |

Though still young, the location-based services (LBS) market is increasingly successful, driven largely by navigation applications and equipment. The range of services available is beginning to grow and navigation is being paired with local searches. While LBS market players must promote their products and services, they are still often confronted with the fragility of their business models and they must face market consolidation. In the longer term, the arrival on the market of Europe’s Galileo system should help improve performance and services, without upsetting the structure of the market. |
