all regionsare reportedto experiencedecliningARPUoverthe last ew years. Reasons or this
includecutintariratesonstrongcompetitionandthetrendtowardsvoice-datasubstitution.
Global Mobile ARPU Trends
Period ARPU Profle Remarks
1993-2000 Early ARPU Globally, ARPU more than halved during this period due to increasing competition
Early 2000s Stabilisation
Mobile calls began to match xed call charges, and stimulation rom value added
mobile services such as voicemail, SMS and eatures such as call barring, lteringand calling line identication.
Mid 2000sVoice ARPUdeclining
By end 2005, the majority o carriers worldwide saw drop in ARPU, even thoughmobile subscribers and overall revenues continued to grow.
2006Mobile dataARPU on therise
While voice contributes majority o mobile trac, estimates are that mobile datacontributes more than 10% o global ARPU. Mobile content and services andmobile advertising are being considered or urther increasing ARPU.

Three Deployment Scenarios for FMC
Convergence Types Description Service Roadmaps*/ Capabilities Required**
Commercial Combines xed and mobile
subscriptions with linked or
unied billing.
**Requires single sales and marketing channels with a
single point o contact, which in turn means convergent
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and billing.
Device Integrates various access typesinto one device, typically WLAN
802.11 b/g and GPRS or 3G;customer is given one number
or several handsets and one
simple, personalised applicationset.
*Single handset and voice value added services oered toboth residential and business markets. Further on, initiate
clients to FMC via simple convergent oers such as videocall (mobile and xed), FMC entertainment, or example
gaming, music, VoD and directory, inormation bases or
location based services. Finally, to oer complex FMCservices, or example integrated messaging, push-to-
show and push-to-view during calls, photo album andremote storage, IPTV on both xed and mobile.
Services Oers customers the sameservices regardless o whether
they are using a xed or mobileconnection, through a single
device that can make voice or
data calls or both.
**A single service delivery platorm will be required tospeed up time to market o new convergent services.
