  • 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 The good old landline times are coming to an end.“ According to the CEO of Vodafone Germany, an outdated landline regulation has prevented the kind of successful competition that you find in the mobile phone market.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.

Both major retail chains such as Starbucks, Douglas and the Kamps-Backstuben bakeries and smaller stores have introduced NFC (Near Field Communication) technology at their checkouts.

Media convergence is the technology of the future. Vodafone is getting Vodafone TV ready for fourth generation LTE (Long Term Evolution) mobile technology. At the same time, the communications group is equipping the Vodafone TV set-top box for use in home networks, transforming it into a TV and media content management solution. Vodafone will be demonstrating how its innovative set-top box – in conjunction with the Vodafone WLAN router – can transfer music stored on the PC to the stereo system, stream movies from an external hard disk to the tablet PC and display photos taken by mobile phone on TV at the IFA trade fair in Berlin. Vodafone TV is an innovative hybrid solution which unites conventional satellite and cable TV reception with additional internet functions via DSL – and now also via LTE. The Düsseldorf-based communications group began upgrading its network for LTE in autumn 2010 and now serves around five million households. LTE will initially be available in rural regions which didn’t previously have broadband internet and then extended into the major cities. LTE customers can now register to participate in the first Vodafone TV via LTE test phase at www.vodafone.de/tv/lte. The hybrid set-top box selects the best quality signal from the available satellite or cable and broadband connections. This innovative Vodafone TV technology can be used with a 2 mbps or more internet connection.

Professor William Webb, deputy chair at Cambridge Wireless, CEO of Weightless, general all-round wireless communications and regulatory expert (spent seven years with UK regulator, Ofcom) ‘The 5G Myth’ So why has the 5G mission been blown so wildly off-course? Much of the problem, William says, is that the vision of what’s required for next generation cellular seems to have lost touch with the reality of usage patterns and user behaviour. “The fact is that in the UK and in other countries, we’ve gradually been making more use of WiFi. My guess is that about 95 per cent of all our traffic is now WiFi and most people have a ‘WiFi first’ (use cellular only when WiFi isn’t available) behaviour pattern. “The regulators, however, spend most of their time on thinking about cellular - but in the consumer market, that’s not where the action is.” “I think we need a fundamental rethink of the whole communications environment - instead of thinking that competition comes from the four main operators (in the case of UK), we should take a broader look.
