Sympathy for the telco industry?

Decoupling of demand and revenueaka: dumbpipeification

What does this look like?
• From Q1 2011 to Q1 2012, Rogers saw their number of smart phone subscribers go from 3.3 to 4.6 M - 38% growth
• In the same period, Rogers total wireless revenues declined – negative 1% growth
• Solution: vertically integrate into media! Lock-up content licenses, diversify into new “value” added services
• Note: when you see a whole new service marketed by a telco, ask yourself who’s problem are they trying to solve here their’s or mine?
• Meanwhile, feed the beast… our insatiable demand for bandwidth

When Government takes the wheel
![Page 13: Wireless in Canada 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b609964a7959943f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Government’s role• Wireless services in Canada are governed by either
the CRTC or Industry Canada. Or sometimes both. Or neither.
• Official mandate and limits of CRTC defined by Broadcast and Telecom acts (fyi: last updated by Parliament in early 90s)
• Provinces also have patchwork of consumer protection legislation relative to wireless
• Canada has no official national digital strategy

They told me it would be faster

What is Spectrum?

How this cookie is going to crumble
Rogers NewEntrants:there can only one
Bell & Telus will split these and combine them
• Contiguous spectrum is more valuable
• Rogers will take B block, aligned with ATT in the US, and try to make the best of combining it with A block
• Bell/Telus will take C1 & C2 which they may be able to make effective joint use of through their network sharing agreements
• C block will be fiercely contested by 3-4 remaining carriers (no supported by foreign financing) also helping to drive-up the bidding on B and C as well to prevent tacit collusion amongst big 3 and maximize government revenues.

How the conservative government will spend the next 4B auction proceeds:
1. Implementing a national digital strategy2. Incentives or tax rebates for digital infrastructure investment3. Grants or venture funding for Canadian digital startups or
content creators4. Rolling out rural broadband5. Rolling out urban broadband or fibre6. Waiving HST on wired & wireless broadband subscriptions 7. Save the CBC8. General revenues9. Paying baby-boomers’ healthcare bills10. Buying votes in time for the next election
