oyb: They died for a different reason. Not tariffs. They died because they simply could not achieve scale. For both Visafone and Starcomms, they gave it their best shot, even took a lot of risky bets (which in the case of Starcomms eventually bled them out), and saw results, but they had serious usability limitations. Handset OEMs like Nokia and Blackberry were not making devices for them, they had to go and source ODM devices from China. The data also, I think they could not really leverage properly cos of the way they used their spectrum. They had the opportunity to break grounds for data way ahead of the operators' launching UMTS, but like everyone else they focused on voice, and lost big. Personally I don't think a price floor will save any small operator per se. MTN's LTE sites are 1000+, more than all of Smile, Swift, and Spectranet sites combined. The smaller operators won't have the coverage as well as the capacity to support a whole bunch of users. There is also the usability of the product. The big operators have 2G/3G/4G backward compatibility, so they would be a lot more easy to use, in a way that doesn't change the user's behaviour. How do I mean usability? On my etisalat now, my device picks up LTE signals where it's available, without having to do anything or change anything. As opposed to Smile and ntel asking you to use an app for voice calls on your LTE smartphone, and Swift and Spectranet asking you to buy Mifis and routers only. Its going to be challenging for the average user who doesn't want a break in service, whether it's 2G or 3G or 4G, they just want the service. So it will be a lot of work, and frankly most of the smaller guys don't have the resources to do it. 1 Like |
