Users can then make unlimited voice calls and conference calls in addition to sending standard text and multi-media messaging.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All of the services offer a wide variety of distinctive emoticons, stickers and ring tones which in turn enable users to create a personal identity amongst their peer groups - family, friends and business associates - when they are active within the application.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a result, Informa estimate that on average each app user is currently sending 33 messages per day compared to just five standard text messages per day, in excess of a 6X uplift in the typical engagement level.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What is happening in Indonesia?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Indonesians are highly social digitally and as such have embraced this new generation of instant messaging applications with great enthusiasm. The latest available numbers illustrate the explosive demand in Indonesia:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>LINE has attracted 10 million users since launch in early 2013, with 25 million  app downloads from the LINE suite already recorded</li>\r\n	<li>Kakao Talk added 120,000 new users per day in the second quarter of 2013</li>\r\n	<li>WeChat has grown its Indonesian user base fifty fold since their February 2013 launch</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The OTT providers have already recognised the criticality of in-market localisation and service innovation in Indonesia. This effort is necessary in order to sustain the rate of adoption and engagement - principally through positive word-of-mouth.</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Kakao Talk has hired Indonesian designers to conceive and implement a portfolio of local emoticons</li>\r\n	<li>LINE has mounted a series of localised sticker campaigns, including a WWF Earth Day donation drive and a Ramadan-themed campaign</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The market in Indonesia is ripe for further penetration as smartphone adoption accelerates (currently at around 20% of the installed base) and the middle class demographic group continues to expand (growing at 9 million per year).</p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What’s next for chat apps?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is most intriguing for industry commentators and investors is the potential of these providers to ‘move up the stack’ i.e. by integrating the individual chat/IM apps into a unified social networking platform. Given their current momentum, the potential exists for these new generation platforms to go head-to-head with the Internet giants such as Facebook, Yahoo and Google.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In response to market demand, these chat/IM app providers are already offering an ever-broader array of features, ranging from ‘basic’ communications i.e. messaging and content-sharing (photos, videos, location information) to ‘advanced’ functionality such as the exchange of virtual goods (e.g. emoticons, stickers, graphics), apps downloads (games and puzzles) and collaborative content origination (e.g. sketching).</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With their embedded position at the core of the social circles of millions of users, these service providers are becoming hot acquisition targets. Google were rumoured to be readying a near-USD 1bn. bid for WhatsApp earlier this year.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In effect, the ‘winner takes all’ race has already begun.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>How will the mobile operators respond?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This shift in technology and customer sentiment has big implications for mobile operators, with significant traffic volumes for conventional voice calling and text messaging being switched to these new applications. Moreover the impact on top line revenues and operating profits is an increasing cause for concern for their shareholders.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Initially, the OTT providers were competing on price alone, but as they have broadened their service offerings they are demonstrating a stronger value proposition to their customers. As such the operators are being forced to respond - there are a number of strategic options open to them:</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Compete </b>- By enriching the perceived value of existing service plans and data packages, thereby incenting subscribers to favour existing network operator voice and messaging services</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Collaborate</b> - Partner with OTT providers to provide blended service propositions and usage plans, while maintain separate brand identities for network operator and OTT services</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Emulate</b> - Integrate operator-branded OTT-equivalent services into existing portfolio and encourage switching of users from OTT platforms</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Indonesia the operators are actively engaged in countering this threat from the OTT providers and winning back lost messaging activity:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Axis has partnered with Viber to offer customers a ‘Viber-only’ user plan, thus avoiding the expense of subscribing to a full service data plan</li>\r\n	<li>XL Axiata provide a free activation and data package for all users of WeChat</li>\r\n	<li>Telkomsel,  Indosat and XL each offer free data usage for KaKao Talk users</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile BRTI, the telecoms regulatory body in Indonesia, in partnership with the leading mobile operators is planning to implement a ‘Messaging Indonesia’ platform. This initiative is designed to deliver a multi-carrier, cross-platform instant message and multimedia content delivery network - with domestic routing in order to minimize operating costs and to offer consumers a high quality and secure messaging solution.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The position of the mobile operators as the main providers of real-time communications for the consumer market is being seriously undermined by the innovation and agility shown by the OTT providers.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to reassert their dominant market position the operators will need to outsmart and outpace this new breed of competitors - it will be a fascinating battle to watch.</p>','Messaging is the ‘category-killer’ mobile app','','trash','closed','open','','messaging-is-the-category-killer-mobile-app','','','2013-09-03 13:06:43','2013-09-03 13:06:43','',0,'http://redwingconsulting.com/?p=2537',0,'post','',0),(2540,1,'2013-07-28 10:55:03','2013-07-28 10:55:03','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2539\" alt=\"Post - chat apps graphic\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Post-chat-apps-graphic.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"200\" />\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Publish a personalised profile.

As such the operators are being forced to respond - there are a number of strategic options open to them:</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Compete </b>- By enriching the perceived value of existing service plans and data packages, thereby incenting subscribers to favour existing network operator voice and messaging services</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Collaborate</b> - Partner with OTT providers to provide blended service propositions and usage plans, while maintain separate brand identities for network operator and OTT services</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Emulate</b> - Integrate operator-branded OTT-equivalent services into existing portfolio and encourage switching of users from OTT platforms</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Indonesia the operators are actively engaged in countering this threat from the OTT providers and winning back lost messaging activity:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Axis has partnered with Viber to offer customers a ‘Viber-only’ user plan, thus avoiding the expense of subscribing to a full service data plan</li>\r\n	<li>XL Axiata provide a free activation and data package for all users of WeChat</li>\r\n	<li>Telkomsel,  Indosat and XL each offer free data usage for KaKao Talk users</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile BRTI, the telecoms regulatory body in Indonesia, in partnership with the leading mobile operators is planning to implement a ‘Messaging Indonesia’ platform. This initiative is designed to deliver a multi-carrier, cross-platform instant message and multimedia content delivery network - with domestic routing in order to minimize operating costs and to offer consumers a high quality and secure messaging solution.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The position of the mobile operators as the main providers of real-time communications for the consumer market is being seriously undermined by the innovation and agility shown by the OTT providers.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to reassert their dominant market position the operators will need to outsmart and outpace this new breed of competitors - it will be a fascinating battle to watch.</p>','Messaging is the ‘category-killer’ mobile app','','inherit','closed','open','','2537-revision-v1','','','2013-07-28 10:57:14','2013-07-28 10:57:14','',2537,'http://redwingconsulting.com/uncategorized/2537-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(2544,1,'2013-08-11 01:12:32','2013-08-11 01:12:32','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2549\" alt=\"Post - big data graphic\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Post-big-data-graphic.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"250\" />\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>In the face of shrinking revenues and declining operating margins from their core communications services, mobile operators are retooling their business models in pursuit of new sources of top and bottom line growth.

The decreasing cost of data storage and the availability of high performance computing applications now enables operators to create information-based offerings - not only for their own subscriber base, but also for third party organisations seeking a better understanding of their mobile users.</p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2546 aligncenter\" alt=\"Post - big data chart 1\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Post-big-data-chart-1.jpg\" width=\"443\" height=\"297\" /></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Structured data is the accumulation of bulk transaction and profile records amassed by operators on a daily basis:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Itemized calling and messaging records - CDRs/xDRs</li>\r\n	<li>Electronic data records - Web logs, searches</li>\r\n	<li>Geo-positioning data records - Location coordinates, time, duration</li>\r\n	<li>Billing profile records - Gender, age, address, spend</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unstructured data is the detailed textual, numeric and graphical content transmitted between subscribers within the network</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Social media posts</li>\r\n	<li>Web browsing</li>\r\n	<li>Media downloads and streams</li>\r\n	<li>E-books and newsreader content</li>\r\n	<li>App usage and interactions</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Inferred data comprises the patterns of behaviour derived from observed social media activity and point-to-point movements within the network service area</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Social graph and influence graph - relationships, personal interests, attitudes, sentiments</li>\r\n	<li>Location-based activity and context - retail footfall, travel dynamics, social preferences</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With this wealth of data becoming accessible to operators, their attention is turning to the use of sophisticated big data analytics in order to drive internal initiatives - such as customer loyalty programmes and service personalization - as well as monetizing the latent value of this information with the development of new B2B offerings.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Subscriber data with this degree of specificity and richness has the potential to be a new asset class for operators.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>How are the operators exploiting this opportunity?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The mobile operators with ‘smart’ capabilities such as dynamic network management, high performance computing and in-memory analytics have the potential to utilize these data assets to generate a holistic picture of which subscribers they should be targeting and which specific campaigns to launch - the so-called  ‘720-degree’ view of customers:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>An internal, 360-degree view of their customers i.e. What are their product and service needs?; how and when and are they using the services?</li>\r\n	<li>An external, 360-degree view of how they deploy the available services in their daily lives i.e. Where do they live, work and play? How may the customer experience be enhanced?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This adds a powerful dimension to the market segmentation process, as well as informing the customer experience and campaign design programmes that flow from it. By knowing more about their subscriber base, operators can devise precise marketing messages that reach the right target customers, at the right time and most importantly in the right context.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fusion of subscriber, network and social media data now will allow operators to perform their ‘business-as-usual’ processes more efficiently and effectively - defining new market segments, interacting dynamically with customers and channel partners and proactively addressing their individual demands.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Indonesia, the GSM operator AXIS has been successful in refining its customer segmentation model through the analysis of subscriber information accumulated from the self-care portal ‘AXIS Net’. In turn, this initiative has enabled AXIS to stratify the subscriber base into eighteen micro segments, which are targeted selectively with specific marketing promotions.</p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2547 aligncenter\" alt=\"Post - big data chart 2\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Post-big-data-chart-2.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"245\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What are the new revenue sources from Big Data?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The market environment that operators now have to compete in is an ecosystem that is very different to when they launched. They are confronting a new breed of competitors resulting from convergence, where lines blur and companies diversify outside of their original markets. Intense competition and commoditization of communications services are driving increased network traffic and usage, but it is the OTT messaging providers who are capturing the imagination of the consumer market and taking increasing revenue share.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to play in this newly-emerging eco-system, mobile operators are pursuing new lines of business that have the potential both to monetize the value of their data assets and to establish the position of the operators as a critical player in these markets:</p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2548 aligncenter\" alt=\"Post - big data chart 3\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Post-big-data-chart-3.jpg\" width=\"503\" height=\"233\" /></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Customer insights</b> - aggregated and anonymized mobile subscriber data has extreme value for a wide array of commercial and public services organisations: retailers (store location planning, campaign design), local government administrations (urban planning), advertising companies (outdoor media mapping), sports and entertainment venues (audience profiling).</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Data hosting</b> - by virtue of their service provider legacy, strict regulatory framework and data protection obligations, the mobile operators have developed very strong trust relationships with consumers and businesses alike. This opens up the prospect of operators utilising their data assets in order to host security and authentication-based services on behalf of financial institutions, government agencies and e-commerce companies. Identity management, access control and user authentication are all part of the service portfolios being developed by the leading US and European operators.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Third party applications</b> - rather than viewing companies which provide digital services over the network as competitors, increasingly operators are seeing them as business partners. In principle, any service that requires a set of enabling utilities such as customer billing, problem resolution, security and authentication services can be interfaced directly with the host systems and databases in the mobile operator environment. The demand for these hard-wired services will grow rapidly as e-commerce, mobile healthcare and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications become ubiquitous.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The mobile operators therefore have the opportunity to create a “two-sided” business model, whereby they leverage their unique assets - subscriber data and subscriber trust - firstly, to create more intimate relationships with their existing subscribers and secondly, to form strategic partnerships with both commercial and governmental organisations underpinned by a new portfolio of services based on privacy, trust and security.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Executed well, this will reassert the central position of the operators in the mobile communication eco-system.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"center\"></p>','Is big data monetization the Jewel in the Crown for telecom operators?','','inherit','closed','open','','2544-revision-v1','','','2013-07-28 11:13:20','2013-07-28 11:13:20','',2544,'http://redwingconsulting.com/uncategorized/2544-revision-7/',0,'revision','',0),(2557,1,'2013-07-28 09:43:46','2013-07-28 09:43:46','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1807\" alt=\"Page - News Feed - graphic 3\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Page-News-Feed-graphic-3.jpg\" width=\"1010\" height=\"140\" />\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Week thirty: 22-Jul to 28-Jul</span></span>\r\n<table style=\"width: 1010px; height: 20px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"><colgroup> <col width=\"70\" /> <col width=\"120\" /> <col width=\"40\" /> <col width=\"650\" /> <col width=\"10\" /> <col width=\"120\" /> </colgroup>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr style=\"height: 20px;\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<td width=\"70\" height=\"20\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">25-Jul</span></td>\r\n<td width=\"120\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">E-commerce</span></td>\r\n<td width=\"40\">[peekaboo_link name=\"newsitem1\"]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1387\" alt=\"TechInAsia logo 20x20\" src=\"http://redwinginsights.cubemart.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/TechInAsia-logo-20x20.png\" width=\"20\" height=\"17\" />[/peekaboo_link]</td>\r\n<td width=\"650\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>[peekaboo_link name=\"newsitem1\"]Jejualan Wants to Help Indonesian Businesses Sell Online[/peekaboo_link]  </strong>[peekaboo name=\"newsitem1\" onshow=\"▲\" onhide=\"▼\"][peekaboo_content name=\"newsitem1\"]Jejualan is a new B2B e-commerce website that helps people build websites and e-commerce setups easily, in the same space as Onigi, LakuBgt and Pixtem.

justify;\">Redwing is a boutique advisory firm that helps investment funds and technology-based companies identify, assess, secure and manage high-quality tech investments.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We help investors successfully build long-term growth companies in the Indonesian tech sector by applying a unique combination of skills:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">A wealth of experience from having started up tech companies in the US, Europe and Asia</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Expertise in business strategy, business model development and strategic marketing</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>A successful angel investment track record in Silicon Valley</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over 15 years of working in a variety of business sectors in Indonesia</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our track record</h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Redwing was originally founded in 1991, and spent its first decade as a roving international startup SWAT team that helped mobile operators in the US, Europe and Asia launch overseas ventures.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many of the companies we helped to set up are now multi-billion dollar entities. You can view a partial list of our global track record [peekaboo name=\"table1\" onhide=\"here ▼\" onshow=\"here:\"]<code></code>[peekaboo_content name=\"table1\"]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2124 aligncenter\" alt=\"Page - About Us - cellular projects chart 6\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Page-About-Us-cellular-projects-chart-6.png\" width=\"650\" height=\"257\" /></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[/peekaboo_content]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first incarnation of Redwing was acquired by a US internet firm in a multi-million dollar deal during the 1990s dot-com boom. Following this, Redwing\'s principals formed an angel investment and incubator company which invested in a number of US tech startups. The most successful of these, xAd, now serves over 85 million unique users a month in the US with highly targeted local mobile advertising.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second incarnation of Redwing was launched in Asia in 2007, with a primary focus on Indonesia. Initially focused on driving growth in multiple high-potential sectors, Redwing developed powerful business plans for a string of successful Indonesian companies.

We\'ve seen the country perform in bad times, so we understand many of its strengths in good times.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are exceptionally bullish on the tech sector right now, and believe it will outperform most of the analysts\' current forecasts, as the perfect storm of a rising middle class, falling technology prices and a young tech-oriented population all come together.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having said this, over the past few years we have seen two factors that inhibit the growth of the tech sector in Indonesia: firstly that Indonesia is something of a mystery to overseas investors and often does not appear in their asset allocation list, and secondly that overseas investors are an unknown quantity for most Indonesian tech companies. Yet each has so much to offer the other.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So we believe a bridge needs to be built between the two groups - as we say: \"Indonesia\'s tech sector needs bridges, not valleys\". This website is one aspect of our own bridge-building, and aims to raise everyone’s awareness of opportunities in the Indonesian tech sector.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our section on Client Services describes what we do in more detail. By applying our expertise in startups, the tech industry and Indonesia, we help investors identify suitable investees, build growth strategies based on a sustainable business models, and oversee the execution of long-term growth plans. We do this under a variety of project constructs, from acting as investment and business advisors to actively participating in growth ventures.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And, having worked in a number of companies that grew from zero to multi-billion dollar entities, we know what it takes to build sizable companies. We focus on substantial investment opportunities in Indonesia, where the application of capital, skills and sound business plans can create significant financial returns for the founders and investors.</p>','About Us','','inherit','closed','open','','32-revision-v1','','','2013-03-17 12:16:43','2013-03-17 12:16:43','',32,'http://redwingconsulting.com/uncategorized/32-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2576,1,'2013-08-04 12:15:38','2013-08-04 12:15:38','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1807\" alt=\"Page - News Feed - graphic 3\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Page-News-Feed-graphic-3.jpg\" width=\"1010\" height=\"140\" />\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Week thirty-one : 29-Jul to 4-Aug</span></span>\r\n<table style=\"width: 1010px; height: 20px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"><colgroup> <col width=\"70\" /> <col width=\"120\" /> <col width=\"40\" /> <col width=\"650\" /> <col width=\"10\" /> <col width=\"120\" /> </colgroup>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr style=\"height: 20px;\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<td width=\"70\" height=\"20\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">4-Aug</span></td>\r\n<td width=\"120\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Market Growth</span></td>\r\n<td width=\"40\">[peekaboo_link name=\"newsitem1\"]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1363\" alt=\"Jakarta Globe logo 20x20\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Jakarta-Globe-logo-20x20.png\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" />[/peekaboo_link]</td>\r\n<td width=\"650\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>[peekaboo_link name=\"newsitem1\"]‘Ken & Kaskus’ Tells a Startup Success Story[/peekaboo_link]  </strong>[peekaboo name=\"newsitem1\" onshow=\"▲\" onhide=\"▼\"][peekaboo_content name=\"newsitem1\"]Success did not come overnight when Ken Dean Lawadinata, a 27-year-old university student at the time, decided to invest in Kaskus, an internet forum site.
