KEY COMPETITORS COVERED

3 Group
3 Group’s mobile data challenger strategy continues without abatement, with a renewed ‘All-You-Can-Eat’ mobile data focus in the UK and Ireland and an intensified FMS push in Italy and Austria. (3/27/2012)
| Client Access |
Apple
Apple continues to go from strength to strength with a string of iconic products and a new iCloud value-add which threatens service provider ‘digital caretaker’ ambitions. (1/10/2012)
| Client Access |
Belgacom
Belgacom remains entrenched as Belgium's fixed and mobile market leader and is having solid success with its multiplay offers, but cable rivals remain a significant threat, while smaller DSL-based challengers are also flirting with multiplay. (2/3/2012)
| Client Access |
BSkyB
BSkyB’s consumer marketing emphasis remains heavily skewed towards content and multiplay. However, stringent regulatory scrutiny and the continued absence of a mobile voice and broadband proposition undermine its multiplay efforts. (2/2/2012)
| Client Access |
BT
BT continues to emphasise fibre, broadband and WiFi access, and retains the lead in the UK DSL segment. However, multiplay and bundling innovation remain a weakness in the UK incumbent’s drive for competitive differentiation. (1/30/2012)
| Client Access |
Deutsche Telekom
Deutsche Telekom leads its domestic market with an integrated consumer approach and emphasis on ‘Connected Life & Work,’ but competitive threats remain across both the fixed and mobile segments from large and aggressive multiplay operators. (3/5/2012)
| Client Access |
Facebook
Facebook’s IPO filing revealed $3.7 billion in 2011 revenues and $1 billion in net income, with 85% of 2011 revenues coming from advertising. Facebook also reported a base of 845 million users, including 425 million mobile users at the end of 2011. (4/18/2012)
| Client Access |
France Telecom
France Telecom is the clear domestic consumer market leader, but other operations are under pressure, especially on the fixed broadband side. Continued multiplay and partnership efforts are key to countering rivals, both at home and abroad. (2/3/2012)
| Client Access |
Google
In Google's business model, the user is the product, making for a highly disruptive impact on the consumer services space. New aggression in music, payments and social networking is challenging carriers on VAS. (3/28/2012)
| Client Access |
KPN
KPN is the dominant consumer provider in the Netherlands, and its challenger strategy in foreign markets is innovative and aggressive. Exploiting secondary channels for fixed and mobile sales is a KPN forte that is highly threatening to rivals. (5/2/2012)
| Client Access |
Swisscom
Swisscom remains entrenched as the country’s consumer fixed and mobile services market leader, and while competition will continue in the multiplay segment, it will be difficult for any challenger to eat heavily into the incumbent’s market share. (2/6/2012)
| Client Access |
TDC
Danish incumbent TDC continues building its pay-TV and mobile data market share, in spite of price aggression from rivals. (12/15/2011)
| Client Access |
Tele2
Tele2 has garnered success in the mobile segment with its aggressive pricing tactics, but the company remains vulnerable to more well-rounded service propositions from rivals. (3/2/2012)
| Client Access |
Telecom Italia
Telecom Italia is the country's dominant consumer provider, but it is being challenged by alternative players in the fixed, mobile and content arenas. The company is looking to mobile broadband and Internet, fibre and OTT content to remain ahead. (3/2/2012)
| Client Access |
Telefónica
Telefónica remains the clear leader in the Spanish market, but fierce competition in Germany and the UK is a challenge, particularly in the multiplay arena. The company remains an innovator in numerous areas, from LBS and WiFi to OTT and UC. (5/2/2012)
| Client Access |
Telekom Austria Group
Despite A1 Telekom Austria’s unified branding and integrated service provision within its domestic market, competition remains intense, especially in the mobile voice and broadband segments. Multiplay innovation is a key counter. (4/25/2012)
| Client Access |
Telenor
Telenor is strategically focused on maintaining and growing the mobile side of its business, and is making strong gains in mobile data uptake. But the company continues to struggle in the fixed broadband segment across its Nordic footprint. (3/28/2012)
| Client Access |
TeliaSonera
TeliaSonera maintains a strong position within its home Nordic markets and the Baltics, but still faces stiff competitive pressure from rivals, and a siloed organisational structure could hamper future efficiencies. (3/29/2012)
| Client Access |
Virgin Media
Virgin Media’s emphasis remains squarely on high speed broadband and multiplay bundling and it leads the UK market in triple and quad play penetration. However, limited network reach does hinder these efforts. (4/2/2012)
| Client Access |
Vodafone Group
Vodafone has recently replaced its failed Vodafone 360 initiative with a series of new operator-branded apps, but still faces substantial challenges in the areas of OTT apps and roaming regulation revisions. (2/2/2012)
