2012 Highlights

The morning after Syniverse’s focussed workshop, saw the conference’s opening discussion focussed very much on the Roaming III regulation and the fragmented European market which ‘roaming itself is a symptom of’. Local break out was discussed in detail, and we very much look forward to next year’s 2013 event when the impact it has the potential to make on the roaming market, can be assessed. One thing already noted this year was that operators need to price more sophisticatedly to customers at a wholesale level in order to counter the threat that could come from aggregators offering more appealing pricing: industry business models are therefore predicted to change and 2013 should be an interesting year!

It was also noted that although there was definitely room in the market for data specific MVNOs, Tier 1s such as Telefónica had not been approached for access from many smaller companies. How MVNOs will respond to the changes in the Roaming regulation is therefore another area to watch!

As the two days progressed and topics such as LTE, M2M, wholesale and retail business models, WiFi, consumer experience, education and pricing were all covered, much ‘food for thought’ filled the room and we are excited about November 2013’s case studies and conversations already!
