Rising inflation! How are telcos reacting?
Rising inflation! How are telcos reacting?
With inflation rates rising, telcos are facing increasing costs and slowing market growth rates, leading to shrinking margins. To overcome this challenging cycle, operators are adopting distinctive strategies as a way to effectively respond to inflation and become more resilient, with mixed results. In this Viewpoint, we evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each approach — and present an assessment of what strategies hold the most promise.
Attention TowerCos: It’s time to listen to your customer
Rising trend in Latin America Accelerating competition, new technological requirements, and ever-growing data demand have increased CAPEX requirements for MNOs in the Latin America (LATAM) region. Given the necessity of enhancing mobile network reach and capacity, several MNOs have sought cash relief by outsourcing their passive infrastructures to TowerCos, which handle the management of entire networks through built-to-suit (BTS) solutions.
Evolving pricing of mobile tariff plans
The telecom industry is standing at a crossroads, with increasing users, rapid technology shifts, usage shifts to content services, exponential growth in data usage, and ever-increasing competition. Global trends for mobile services show that average revenue per user (ARPU) is declining, whereas data consumption per SIM is increasing. For operators to be future commercial winners, they must provide a higher quality of service and offer larger data packs bundled with added features to increase the price elasticity of demand.
