  • Driving the Application Explosion Implications for Network Providers – Challenges and Recommendations by Ann Marie Vega and Cindy Mills
    STRATEGIC WHITE PAPER Driving the Application Explosion Implications for network providers – challenges and recommendations by Ann Marie Vega and Cindy Mills The past 18 months have seen an explosion in the number of applications that are available to end users — mobile applications, widgets on TVs and PCs, as well as enterprise applications of all types. As end users discover how to use their connected devices in new and innovative ways, they have demonstrated an almost insatiable appetite for applications. The question for network providers is how to capitalize on this opportunity in an effective and sustainable way. This paper discusses the current trends, challenges, and success factors for network providers seeking to add value in application delivery. Among the challenges, the most significant are: 1) difficulty in justifying the business case; 2) legacy mindsets and organizational structures, 3) adherence to legacy partnership models that limit innovation opportunities, 4) inefficient processes that cannot deliver applications in a rapid and cost-effective manner, and 5) issues with fragmentation from the developer perspective. The combined effect of these challenges is that network providers may not be optimized for efficiently providing a broad array of applications to their customers. From our research and experience, Alcatel-Lucent has developed concrete recommendations to help network providers capitalize on the application opportunity. Specifically, we recommend: 1) building a holistic business case; 2) exploring new business models; 3) industrializing operational processes; and 4) lessening fragmentation to achieve scale. Though recommendations are provided, they are offered with the recognition that suitability/applicability will vary based on each network provider’s unique situation.

  • "Licensing Music Works and Transaction Costs in Europe”
    "Licensing music works and transaction costs in Europe” Final study September 2012 1 Acknowledgements: KEA would like to thank Google, the internet services company, for financing which made this study possible. The study was carried out independently and reflects the views of KEA alone. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Establishing and running online music services is a complex task, raising both technical and legal difficulties. This is particularly the case in Europe, where complex rights licensing structures hinder the development of the market and the launch of new innovative online services. Compared to the US, Europe is lagging behind in terms of digital music revenue. Furthermore, the development of the market is fairly disparate among different countries in the European Union. This study aims to identify and analyse transaction costs in music licensing. It examines the online music markets and outlines the licensing processes faced by online services. It offers a qualitative and quantitative analysis of transaction costs in the acquisition of the relevant rights by online music services. The study also suggests different ways of decreasing transaction costs. The research focuses on three countries (the UK, Spain and the Czech Republic) and builds on data collected through a survey with online music service providers available in the three countries as well as interviews with relevant stakeholders in the field of music licensing. THE EUROPEAN ONLINE MUSIC MARKET The music industry has steadily expanded over the past few years, away from selling CDs towards selling music online or through concerts and live music. (Masnick, Ho, 2012). Among the 500 licensed online music services in the world (according to IFPI), many emulate the physical record store, by offering ‘download to own’ tracks at a similar price point.

  • Robert Lewis Ropa Wikipedia
    Robert lewis ropa wikipedia Continue Ripley buys Robert Lewis and Barbados brands from El guila mi rcoles, June 04, 2008 Constance Hola Chamy Econom from Negocios Online, El Mercurio Tradicional company associated with Family Link to focus on representation and distribution brands. If the survey was done, maybe many Chileans would think that their Robert Lewis or BB2 jeans are aliens. But no. Famous brands present in major major stores are owned by the Chilean company Textil El guila. Until this week. Because he likes it to close the sale of her two star brands. Negotiations began more than six months ago when Ripley was approaching Textil El guila. The multi-store, controlled by the Calder n family, is seeking to strengthen its position in denim brands, given the onslaught of competitors. Falabella has Americano and Paris, with Foster. And while Ripley has his own brands, he misses the weight of BB2 in the women's middleweight segment. For high-rise stores it is good business to add brands to your portfolio.
