  • Vodafone Invests in New Mobile Phone Generation and TV
    Vodafone invests in new mobile phone generation and TV • Nationwide development of LTE becomes new strategic focus • Official launch of hybrid Vodafone TV set-top box Düsseldorf/Berlin, 01. September 2011. Vodafone Germany, with its nationwide de- velopment of and focus on its fourth generation mobile wireless technology LTE (Long Term Evolution), has defined a new strategic focus for the future. The Düsseldorf- based communications company thus meets customer wishes for greater flexibility and individuality. Fritz Joussen, CEO Vodafone Germany: “The future is not bandwidth alone, the future is bandwidth plus mobility. LTE allows society to penetrate the Internet quickly, simply and securely. With this superior technology, we create new opportuni- ties and we pave the way for new communication solutions for the future – in both cities and rural regions throughout Germany.“ Since the work commenced to upgrade the new mobile wireless technology in currently underserved rural areas, Vodafone now reaches around five million households with LTE. Vodafone will shortly be putting the Düsseldorf LTE network into operation. Vodafone is also preparing the new and innova- tive set-top box of Vodafone TV for LTE and is developing it further for the national network. Joussen: “Our customers’ ever greater demand for mobility and the outstanding per- formance of LTE have convinced me to invest in the new mobile wireless technology for private customers. The good old landline times are coming to an end.“ According to the CEO of Vodafone Germany, an outdated landline regulation has prevented the kind of successful competition that you find in the mobile phone market. The regulation, the CEO believes, has prevented competitors of Deutsche Telekom from making significant investments in the fixed network.

  • FAANGS for the Memories
    Cable Congress 2018 FAANGS for the memories 28 March 2018 Cable Congress Event Summary Hardly a presentation went by at the annual meeting of the European Cable Industry A collection of without mention of the FAANGS (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google). findings from These internet titans were cited as the reason behind cable’s need to consolidate further, Cable Europe’s to embrace mobile more energetically, to shift video transmission to IP, to invest in ever higher speed and capacity, to embed data, machine learning and artificial intelligence in annual Congress, business models and to become an aggregation hub for internet delivered video content. March 6-7 2018 There were also numerous calls for the FAANGS to be blunted by more active oversight in Dublin and regulation. If the time to mend the roof is when it is sunny, then cable is picking the right time to examine its strategy and positioning. European cable growth remains positive, video erosion is slowing and is very minor compared to the high-ARPU US market. The reduced cost to extend network means that the pace of new cable build is growing, and cable businesses are attracting high valuations in the accelerating M&A market. The pace of innovation remains high, and the Congress showcased this, with developments in the traditional cable technologies as well as a recognition that the future would lie in a world of IP video and data-led artificial intelligence processes. Marketing and products are not immune from evolution either – the days when bundling and triple play were the holy grail are over, and there is a recognition that personalisation, ease of use and content aggregation are needed to retain customers whose behaviour and desires are adapting to a digital world.
