  • Comment Operators at Crossroads: Market Protection Or Innovation?
    Comment Operators at crossroads: Market protection or innovation? Arnd Webera*, Daniel Scukab Published in: Telecommunications Policy, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2016, Pages 368–377, doi:10.1016/j.telpol.2015.11.009. Permission to publish an authors’ version has kindly been granted by Elsevier B.V. a KIT (ITAS), Kaiserstraße 12, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany b Mobikyo K.K., Level 32, Shinjuku Nomura Building, 1‐26‐2 Nishi‐Shinjuku, Shinjuku‐ku, Tokyo 163‐0532, Japan Abstract Many today believe that the mobile Internet was invented by Apple in the USA with their iPhone, enabling a data‐driven Internet ecosystem to disrupt the staid voice and SMS busi‐ ness models of the telecom carriers. History, however, shows that the mobile Internet was first successfully commercialised in Japan, in 1999. Some authors such as Richard Feasey in Telecommunications Policy (Issue 6, 2015) argue that operators had been confused and un‐ prepared when the Internet emerged and introduced “walled gardens”, without Internet access. This comment article reviews in detail how the operators reacted when the fixed, and later the mobile Internet spread; some introduced walled gardens, some opened it for the “unofficial” content on the Internet. The article concludes that most large European tel‐ ecom and information technology companies and their investors have a tradition of risk avoidance and pursued high‐price strategies that led them to regularly fail against better and cheaper foreign products and services, not only when the wireless Internet was introduced, but also when PCs and the fixed Internet were introduced. Consequences, such as the need to enable future disruptions and boost the skills needed to master them, are presented.

  • Competitiveness of the Internet Industry in Korea and Japan: Case Studies of Korea Telecom Freetel and NTT Docomo*
    JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AND AREA STUDIES 37 Volume 7, Number 2, 2000, pp. 37-52 Competitiveness of the Internet Industry in Korea and Japan: Case Studies of Korea Telecom Freetel and NTT DoCoMo* Hwy-Chang Moon Korea’ s well-developed mobile telephony network infrastructure makes it a globally competitive country in the field of wireless Internet. Korea Telecom Freetel has enjoyed the ‘ early-mover’ advantage in the wireless Internet industry in Korea, although it was a ‘ late-comer’ in the mobile telephony industry. The competition, however, is becoming harsher than ever, and the company is now seeking a breakthrough. For benchmarking, Japan’ s NTT DoCoMo was chosen for its tremendous success in the world’ s first commercialization of the wireless Internet. Using the diamond model (Porter 1990; Moon, Rugman and Verbeke 1998), the variables are analyzed and strategic recommendations are provided. One important conclusion is that Korea Telecom Freetel is taking advantage of its E-business implementation, but can be more competitive if its business environment is less restrictive. The results of this research will help policymakers as well as business people in making decisions to enhance the competitiveness of the Internet industry. 1. INTRODUCTION Recently, the Internet has been expanding its territory from wired network into wireless network. Some analysts firmly believe that the use of the wireless Internet will surpass that of the wired Internet by the year 2003. Although both Korea and Japan are the early movers in the wireless Internet industry in the global market, Korea is not yet as competitive as Japan. The main purpose of this research is to compare and contrast the Internet industries of Korea and Japan, and to suggest some strategic guidelines for Korea to enhance its international competitiveness in the Internet industry.

The emerging IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) approach to deploying IP infrastructure promises to help operators achieve this goal. Mobile TeleSystems (MTS), with multiple networks and more than 50 million existing customers in Eastern Europe and Russia, saw an opportunity to increase its revenue opportunities and market share in large enterprises by offering a fixed-mobile converged voice service. If successful, the service could advance MTS well ahead of its competitors and allow it to capture a significantly large share of the enterprise telecom revenue.
