    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.

Michels Geacht bestuur en geachte directie van de VNG, Op 22 april jongstleden ontvingen wij van u het bericht (update #15) waarin u aangeeft dat minister de Jonge (VWS) heeft besloten om in verband met de coronacrisis de eigen bijdrage in april en mei voor Wmo-ondersteuning collectief niét te innen. Een uitzondering is gemaakt voor inwoners die gebruik maken van de voorziening beschermd wonen intramuraal en opvang. De minister heeft besloten dat deze regeling voor iedereen van toepassing is, ongeacht of ondersteuning wel of niet is ontvangen in die periode. Het per inwoner in beeld brengen van de wel of niet gebruikte ondersteuning, zou volgens de minister op dit moment te arbeidsintensief zijn en zou kunnen rekenen op veel geschillen achteraf die ook veel tijd kosten. Tegelijkertijd met dit besluit heeft de minister aangekondigd dat hij met u, onze belangenbehartiger, in gesprek zal gaan over compensatie van gemeenten vanwege de inkomstenderving die uit deze specifieke maatregel voortvloeit. Wij twijfelen er niet aan dat u als VNG de financiële situatie van uw leden kent en weet welke druk het sociaal domein op de gemeentebegrotingen legt. Toch hebben wij met een aantal Zuid Hollandse gemeenten gezamenlijk, in deze recente maatregel van de minister, aanleiding gezien om onze grote ongerustheid kenbaar te maken.

  • Vodafone Global Enterprise to Fortify U.S. Presence Via T-Mobile MVNO Deal
    Intelligence Report Vodafone Global Enterprise to Fortify U.S. Presence via T-Mobile MVNO Deal December 16, 2014 J Summary Event Summary December 16, 2014 -- Vodafone Americas announced an MVNO partnership with T-Mobile USA to provide 900 of VGE’s MNC customers with U.S. mobile connectivity. The deal will enhance Vodafone’s Kathryn Weldon global service portfolio, leveraging access services across fixed and wireless technology and including the Current Analysis Principal Analyst, operator’s managed mobility, converged OneNet UC services, and global M2M offerings. It will add to Enterprise Mobility Vodafone’s wireless footprint and also complement Vodafone’s growing fixed global network expansion. Services Service launch will be in the fall of 2015. Quick Take Competitive Positives • Shores up VGE’s global proposition by adding U.S. mobile access without the need to build out its own network. • U.S. mobile connectivity is key both for global B2B/B2E and for M2M deals. • Immediately targets 900 of VGE’s MNC customers – 400 headquartered in the U.S. and 500 with U.S. operations. • Threatens U.S. providers, especially AT&T and Verizon, as Vodafone can provide a strong international wireless proposition for MNCs. • Possible opportunities for Deutsche Telekom, which still owns T-Mobile USA. • Huge boon for T-Mobile USA, which has not pursued large enterprise and MNC revenues.
