The impact of the Internet should be analyzed by market segment, given fundamental and increasing differences among the household, corporate and mobile segments
Mass Market Corporate Mobile
Products Skills ProcessesGeographic Scope
Competitors Network Key Success Factors
Value Chains Branding / Bundling Valuation Metrics
• The skills and products needed to serve business customers are now very different from those needed to effectively serve the mass market
• The introduction of new services (advanced data services in business markets, mobility, Internet access, etc) in both markets has resulted in differing end-user requirements for both groups
• The geographic focus of the market segments differ - mass markets are more local, corporations are more global
• In addition, the operational demands associated with effectively serving customers with complex product requirements are very different
Today we will focus on the Mass Market and Corporate Market

Monthly Spending per US Household on Telecom Services (1940-1998)
1996 Real $
Consumers have over the past 10 years increased their spending on telecommunications services as a percent of total household spending from 2.76% to 3.57%, belying the notion that telecommunications is a utility category
• Consumer spending on core telecommunications products has outstripped underlying economic growth by a factor of two, three and sometimes four
• Since 1978, spending on multi-channel television services has grown more than 14% per year, with cable penetration standing at over 66% in 2000
• Internet usage has increased from 20% of households in 1997 to 30% of households in 1999. This number is expected to double over the next 5 years, reaching over 60% by 2003

In the future, traditional telecom services will become a smaller portion of overall service value; new services will be offered and could include retail transactions, entertainment, equipment leasing and billing

Change in Components of Spend
• Since 1970, household spending on telecommunications as a percent of discretionary spending has tripled. New communications services will perpetuate this trend
• The total pool of value available to telecom service providers is not fixed, but expanding rapidly
• In the not-so-distant future, one-stop shops will supply all basic and advanced telecommunications, entertainment and online purchasing needs -- with one bill and one point of customer contact
• Conservative assumptions regarding the proportion of consumer spending moving to Web-enabled channels over the next five years generates the monthly bill to the left. This will double the growth rate of the traditional telecommunications industry, adding $50 billion annually to the new industry value chain in the U.S. alone

• xDSL and cable modems are predicted to be the dominant forms of local broadband access
• xDSL is being driven largely by telco’s who can build on their existing networks to provide broadband service
• Cable modem’s are being deployed by cable operators over existing cable TV lines already deployed in millions of US households
• Satellite technology is less developed than xDSL and cable modems, and will therefore take longer to be deployed
- Satellite systems are well suited to provide service to developing regions because there is no need to deploy last mile infrastructure

• Both Business-to-Consumer and Business-to-Business commerce, will drive bandwidth demand
- the creation of vertical marketplaces and increased supply chain integration require infrastructure and will be a major driver of demand
• The economics of the global economy will drive corporations to use the Internet to improve efficiencies and focus on their core competencies

Traditional auctions are seller driven online auction for wide variety of products and quantities
Reverse auctions are buyer driven online auctions where there is one buyer and many suppliers
Supply aggregators - consolidate telecom and/or other services on a portal or other platform.
Demand aggregators consolidate the needs of fragmented markets to gain purchasing power with suppliers
