Mobile Policy Handbook an Insider’S Guide to the Issues Mobile Policy Handbook An insider’s guide to the issues 2018 Do you have the knowledge? Can you take a position? Will you lead the debate? Mobile Policy Handbook An insider’s guide to the issues © 2018 GSMA About this Handbook With mobile service reaching over 95 per cent of the global population and mobile internet access spreading fast, the digital revolution is empowering citizens and reshaping society all over the world. Policymakers and regulators create the conditions that can attract telecoms investment, encourage innovation and strengthen digital trust and the GSMA believes that a country’s citizens benefit most when the private and public sectors work together in a spirit of openness and trust. This is why we are committed to supporting governments and regulators in their efforts to introduce pro-investment telecommunications policies. The Mobile Policy Handbook: An Insider’s Guide to the Issues is part of the GSMA’s efforts to promote such collaboration. A unique resource that assembles a range of policy topics and mobile industry positions and initiatives under one cover, it acts as a signpost to regulatory best practice. As the global trade association of mobile operators, the GSMA conducts and commissions research on policy trends and challenges in the fast-moving mobile communications market. This handbook draws on the association’s unique insight into the mobile sector and presents it in a practical way for those who want to explore the issues and unleash the value of mobile technology in their own market. In this sixth edition of the Mobile Policy Handbook, new policy topics and industry positions have been introduced on counterfeit mobile devices, cross-border flows of data and drones. Throughout the book, the content has been refreshed with up-to-date statistics, new resources and industry insights. The online version of this resource — www.gsma.com/publicpolicy/handbook — offers an always up-to-date catalogue of the mobile industry’s policy positions. Readers are encouraged to contact the GSMA if they have any questions or requests for more information. E-mail us at [email protected]. World-Changing Trends For five billion people, mobile phones are an indispensable companion in daily life. The astonishing spread of this technology is explained by its ability to satisfy a basic human desire to stay connected, while offering convenience, productivity and entertainment for people on the move. By 2020, three-quarters of mobile subscribers will have broadband connectivity, which opens the door to mobile applications and the internet. Today, mobile is a key component in the digitalisation of industry, generating new levels of efficiency and productivity in manufacturing, logistics, energy, agriculture — and virtually every economic sector. Companies that do not make use of machine-to- machine technologies, improved analytics and sensors, for example, will find themselves outpaced by those that do. For consumers, there will be more intelligently connected appliances, more applications that react to users’ location and environment, and more platforms and services centred on video streaming. The digital story is still evolving, and the mobile industry is playing a pivotal role in it. This is why there is a need for regulatory frameworks to evolve to take account of this rapid change and promote market dynamism, competition and consumer welfare, while discarding legacy rules that are no longer relevant in the context of the digital ecosystem. If industry and governments approach the digital revolution with the right mix of policies, regulations and consumer protections while providing the framework for companies to compete and innovate, then society will advance and the welfare of citizens will expand. As the digital revolution transforms our world, policymakers face new and exciting challenges and will need to navigate uncharted waters. We hope this handbook provides a compass that is referred to regularly on that voyage.

  • Wireless Competition in Canada: an Assessment
    Volume 6•Issue 27•September 2013 WIRELESS COMPETITION IN CANADA: AN ASSESSMENT Jeffrey Church † Professor, Department of Economics and Director, Digital Economy Program, The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary Andrew Wilkins † Research Associate, Digital Economy Program, The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary SUMMARY If there’s one thing Canadians agree on, it’s that Canada’s wireless industry can and should be more competitive. The federal government is on side with the policy objective of having four carriers in every region and has responded with policies that provide commercial advantages to entrants. But, the rub is that there has not been a study that actually assesses the state of competition in wireless services in Canada, until now. Those in favour of policies that will promote and sustain entry point to Canada’s high average revenue per user and low wireless penetration rate (mobile connections per capita) as evidence that there is insufficient competition. The difficulty is that the facts are not consistent with this simplistic analysis. Measurements of wireless penetration are skewed toward countries that maintain the Calling Party Pays Protocol and favour pay-as-you-go plans, both of which encourage inflated user counts. Canada’s participation per capita on monthly plans and minutes of voice per capita are not outliers. Moreover, in terms of smartphone adoption and smartphone data usage, Canada is a global leader, contributing to high average revenue per user. Consistent with being world leaders in the rollout of high speed wireless networks, Canada lead its peer group in capital expenditures per subscriber in 2012: the competition of importance to Canadians is not just over price, but also over the quality of wireless networks.

Public Mobile Inc. (Public Mobile) welcomes the opportunity to provide comments on the Consultation on Considerations Relating to Transfers, Divisions and Subordinate Licensing of Spectrum Licences issued by the Department on March 7th, 2013 (the “Consultation Document”). 2. The Department raises important issues in the Consultation Document, and Public Mobile believes that the wireless industry, and ultimately Canadian consumers, will benefit from increased clarity on issues respecting processes and policies related to transfers of spectrum licences. 3. Public Mobile believes that there are strong public policy reasons and competitive rationale for clarifying the conditions of licence related to spectrum licence transfers. Without such clarity, there is a real danger that the Department’s efforts to nourish and sustain competition will not produce the sustainable competitive environment that is desired. Context 4. We are at a critical juncture in the development of sustainable wireless competition in the Canadian wireless marketplace. The efforts by the Government over the past five years have generated benefits for Canadian consumers, but have not yet reached the point where there is the comfort of a sustainable competitive market. As Minister Paradis has made clear over the past few months, the key public policy goal is to ensure there is a sustainable environment in which there are at least four viable wireless competitors in every market.

  • How to Contact Someone by Text Messaging (SMS) Without Using a Mobile Phone
    How to contact someone by text messaging (SMS) without using a mobile phone You can send a text message (SMS) to a cellular subscriber from your e-mail application (Outlook). Your e-mail will be converted into a text message, and your recipient will receive a text message instead of an e-mail. You simply need to send an e-mail to a special address (see table below). To send a text message to a cellular subscriber from your e-mail application, you need to know two components: • their cellular number; • the name of their cellular provider (Bell, Rogers, TELUS, etc.). The table below shows the e-mail address to use depending on the recipient’s cellular provider: Provider Recipient’s Extension to use number Bell and Solo Mobile xxx-xxx-xxxx @txt.bell.ca Chatr, Rogers and Tbaytel xxx-xxx-xxxx @pcs.rogers.com Eastlink xxx-xxx-xxxx @txt.eastlink.ca Fido xxx-xxx-xxxx @fido.ca Koodo Mobile xxx-xxx-xxxx @msg.koodomobile.com MTS xxx-xxx-xxxx @text.mtsmobility.com PC Mobile xxx-xxx-xxxx @mobiletxt.ca Public Mobile xxx-xxx-xxxx @msg.telus.com Sasktel xxx-xxx-xxxx @sms.sasktel.com TELUS xxx-xxx-xxxx @msg.telus.com Virgin Mobile xxx-xxx-xxxx @vmobile.ca WIND Mobile xxx-xxx-xxxx @txt.windmobile.ca For instance, in case of a Bell subscriber whose mobile number is 819-555-1212, you would send them a text message at [email protected] from your e-mail application.
