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.

Historically, operators have assumed the roles of enablers for information flows, with surprisingly little visibility into the context and content of their captive data assets. Utilized intelligently and creatively, this data holds the key to an intimate understanding of customer needs and preferences, and in a broader sense, the successful evolution of the role of operators at the center of the mobile communications eco-system.</b></h4>\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What is Big Data for the operators?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mobile operators are the ‘natural’ Big Data companies, given they have a unique view into the behaviour and preferences of millions of customers by virtue of the network data that they process on a daily basis. Any activity which touches the wireless infrastructure - voice calls, data transmissions and app downloads - creates a digital footprint which can be analyzed and synthesized into valuable insights.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And with the average smartphone now being active on the network for twenty hours per day (as measured by global operator Teléfonica), it is clear that mobile devices are becoming deeply embedded into the lives of the majority of users.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The diagram below outlines the diverse nature of the available network data. The decreasing cost of data storage coupled with 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&nbsp;\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;\"><strong>Structured data</strong> is the accumulation of bulk transaction and profile records amassed by operators on a daily basis:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\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;\"><strong>Unstructured data</strong> reflects the detailed interactions between subscribers within the network represented by the exchange of textual, numeric and graphical content:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\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;\"><strong>Inferred data</strong> 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 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Social graph and influence graph - relationships, personal interests, attitudes, sentiments</li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">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 advanced data analytics in order to drive internal initiatives - such as customer loyalty programmes and service personalisation - as well as monetizing the latent value of this information with the development of new offerings for B2B markets.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over time subscriber data with this degree of specificity and richness has the potential to become a new asset class - with a corresponding balance sheet valuation - for network operators.</p>\r\n<b>How are the operators exploiting this opportunity?</b>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The mobile operators with ‘smart’ capabilities such as dynamic network policy management, high performance computing and in-memory analytics are able to utilize these data assets in order to manage the customer experience in an increasingly intimate manner.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The “who, what, when and how” dimensions of marketing campaign design and management take on new levels of specificity and precision with the so-called ‘720-degree’ view of customers uniquely available to operators:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\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? what stimulates greater engagement levels?</li>\r\n	<li>An external, 360-degree view of how they utilize the available services in their daily lives i.e. where do they live, work and play? who are they interacting with? how and why are their services preferences shifting?</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 programs 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 both customers and channel partners and proactively addressing their specific demands as individual stakeholders.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As an example, GSM operator AXIS has been successful in refining its customer segmentation model in Indonesia through the analysis of subscriber-generated information sourced from a custom built self-care portal which is branded ‘AXIS Net’.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In turn, the data analysis has enabled AXIS to stratify their base of circa twenty million subscribers into eighteen precisely-defined micro segments, each with discrete behavioral attributes and actionable characteristics. The company has used this information to generate a continuous stream of segment-specific direct marketing promotions in order to stimulate customer adoption and usage.</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 competitive environment in which any incumbent mobile operator is participating today is radically different to the market place in which they first launched their services.  Invariably they are confronting a new breed of competitors resulting from convergence, where traditional device and service lines blur and companies diversify outside of their original markets.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Intense competition and commoditisation of communications services are driving increased network traffic and usage, but currently it is the new wave OTT messaging providers that are winning the battle for consumer mindshare and hence taking increasing revenue share.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to assert their position 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 big data assets and to entrench the operators as a pivotal 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 anonymised 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 industry-wide 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.

Historically, operators have assumed the roles of enablers for information flows, with surprisingly little visibility into the context and content of their captive data assets. Utilized intelligently and creatively, this data holds the key to an intimate understanding of customer needs and preferences, and in a broader sense, the successful evolution of the role of operators at the center of the mobile communications eco-system.</b></h4>\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What is Big Data for the operators?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mobile operators are the ‘natural’ Big Data companies, given they have a unique view into the behaviour and preferences of millions of customers by virtue of the network data that they process on a daily basis. Any activity which touches the wireless infrastructure - voice calls, data transmissions and app downloads - creates a digital footprint which can be analyzed and synthesized into valuable insights.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And with the average smartphone now being active on the network for twenty hours per day (as measured by global operator Teléfonica), it is clear that mobile devices are becoming deeply embedded into the lives of the majority of users.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The diagram below outlines the diverse nature of the available network data. The decreasing cost of data storage coupled with 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&nbsp;\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;\"><strong>Structured data</strong> is the accumulation of bulk transaction and profile records amassed by operators on a daily basis:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\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;\"><strong>Unstructured data</strong> reflects the detailed interactions between subscribers within the network represented by the exchange of textual, numeric and graphical content:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\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;\"><strong>Inferred data</strong> 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 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Social graph and influence graph - relationships, personal interests, attitudes, sentiments</li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">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 advanced data analytics in order to drive internal initiatives - such as customer loyalty programmes and service personalisation - as well as monetizing the latent value of this information with the development of new offerings for B2B markets.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over time subscriber data with this degree of specificity and richness has the potential to become a new asset class - with a corresponding balance sheet valuation - for network operators.</p>\r\n<b>How are the operators exploiting this opportunity?</b>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The mobile operators with ‘smart’ capabilities such as dynamic network policy management, high performance computing and in-memory analytics are able to utilize these data assets in order to manage the customer experience in an increasingly intimate manner.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The “who, what, when and how” dimensions of marketing campaign design and management take on new levels of specificity and precision with the so-called ‘720-degree’ view of customers uniquely available to operators:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\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? what stimulates greater engagement levels?</li>\r\n	<li>An external, 360-degree view of how they utilize the available services in their daily lives i.e. where do they live, work and play? who are they interacting with? how and why are their services preferences shifting?</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 programs 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 both customers and channel partners and proactively addressing their specific demands as individual stakeholders.</p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2547 alignnone\" 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<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As an example, GSM operator AXIS has been successful in refining its customer segmentation model in Indonesia through the analysis of subscriber-generated information sourced from a custom built self-care portal which is branded ‘AXIS Net’.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In turn, the data analysis has enabled AXIS to stratify their base of circa twenty million subscribers into eighteen precisely-defined micro segments, each with discrete behavioral attributes and actionable characteristics. The company has used this information to generate a continuous stream of segment-specific direct marketing promotions in order to stimulate customer adoption and usage.</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 competitive environment in which any incumbent mobile operator is participating today is radically different to the market place in which they first launched their services.  Invariably they are confronting a new breed of competitors resulting from convergence, where traditional device and service lines blur and companies diversify outside of their original markets.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Intense competition and commoditisation of communications services are driving increased network traffic and usage, but currently it is the new wave OTT messaging providers that are winning the battle for consumer mindshare and hence taking increasing revenue share.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to assert their position 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 big data assets and to entrench the operators as a pivotal 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 anonymised 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 industry-wide 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.

Build an online community of friends. Exchange photos, videos and music. That might sound just like Facebook, but hundreds of millions of tech-savvy young people have instead adopted a group of smartphone-based mobile messaging apps that are now sweeping across the globe. These apps are the fastest growing phenomenon of the Internet age and are challenging the primacy of SMS as the preferred mobile communications medium. This trend represents a significant challenge for the mobile operators in Indonesia, who are already facing intense revenue and operating margin pressure</b></h4>\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What are these apps?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The hot apps include Klik and Whatsapp, both products of North American start-ups, as well as Kakao Inc\'s KakaoTalk, NHN Corp\'s LINE and Tencent Holdings Ltd\'s WeChat, which have blossomed in many Asian markets including Indonesia.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Messaging is increasingly seen as the ‘killer app’ for mobile and the popularity of these services is evidenced by the fact that more messages will be sent via chat apps in 2013 than via conventional text messaging (SMS).</p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2538 aligncenter\" alt=\"Post - chat apps chart\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Post-chat-apps-chart.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"377\" /></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By 2016 the technology research firm Informa predict that text messages will outstripped four to one by the number of OTT transmissions – sent ‘over the top’ of the standard chargeable methods of text messaging by using cellular data connections.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Why are they so popular?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First and foremost they are free to download and use (although WhatsApp has an annual subscription fee of one US Dollar - with the first year free).</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They offer ‘plug and play’ functionality on any smartphone model (regardless of the operating system) in combination with a cellular data package or Wi-Fi access. 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','','inherit','closed','open','','2537-revision-v1','','','2013-08-20 08:19:10','2013-08-20 08:19:10','',2537,'http://redwingconsulting.com/uncategorized/2537-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2585,1,'2013-08-25 04:04:56','2013-08-25 04:04:56','<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-four : 19-Aug to 25-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;\">24-Aug</span></td>\r\n<td width=\"120\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Mobile</span></td>\r\n<td width=\"40\">[peekaboo_link name=\"newsitem1\"]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1386\" alt=\"Jakarta Post logo 20x20\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Jakarta-Post-logo-20x20.png\" width=\"20\" height=\"14\" />[/peekaboo_link]</td>\r\n<td width=\"650\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>[peekaboo_link name=\"newsitem1\"]BlackBerry counting on mid-segment[/peekaboo_link]  </strong>[peekaboo name=\"newsitem1\" onshow=\"▲\" onhide=\"▼\"][peekaboo_content name=\"newsitem1\"]BlackBerry Indonesia officially launched the BlackBerry Q5 to extend the BlackBerry 10 offering to the expanding mid-segment market.

This was already so for offline retail (except in the case of large stores), but until now the online industry was excused from this regulation. The Grandfathering principle means that the rule shouldn’t apply to foreign investors and companies who already have done investments in Indonesia. However, within 2 years the foreign invested Indonesian company has to be 100% locally owned. A possible solution is to let a locally owned PT handle all the B2C transactions, and have a foreign company own all the assets including domain name, infrastructure, warehouses, website etc and basically wholesale to the PT who’s only role is to execute transactions with consumers.<p><code><br/></code></p> </span>[/peekaboo_content]</td>\r\n<td width=\"10\"></td>\r\n<td width=\"120\"><a href=\"http://sangatpedas.com/20130815/online-retail-ecommerce-indonesia-closed-for-foreign-investments/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">original article</span></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr style=\"height: 20px;\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<td width=\"70\" height=\"20\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">15-Aug</span></td>\r\n<td width=\"120\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">E-commerce</span></td>\r\n<td width=\"40\">[peekaboo_link name=\"newsitem12\"]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1384\" alt=\"e27 logo 20x20\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/e27-logo-20x20.png\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" />[/peekaboo_link]</td>\r\n<td width=\"650\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>[peekaboo_link name=\"newsitem12\"]Lazada launches Marketplace platform, wants to be the Alibaba of SEA[/peekaboo_link]  </strong>[peekaboo name=\"newsitem12\" onshow=\"▲\" onhide=\"▼\"][peekaboo_content name=\"newsitem12\"]Lazada has just officially launched its Marketplace in Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines.

None of the major department stores, grocers or specialty retailers have yet gone online in a big way, which many believe is due to their heavy investments in malls and outlets and their belief that online retailing does not yet pose a severe threat.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5>A number of support platforms have emerged</h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Obviously a critical part of the internet industry is finding sustainable ways to monetise online services, in particular e-commerce sites. A number of payment platforms are competing to establish themselves as the industry leaders, and KlikBCA, Mandiri, Doku, iPayMu, Veritrans, Jatis and Kaspay have all established themselves to varying degrees in different parts of the online payment market.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The other main monetisation route is through advertising. Online ads are delivered through the major platforms such as Facebook, Google and Twitter, with Google pushing hard to promote its Adsense and Adwords programs among local businesses. Also, since Indonesia is a mobile-first market, the major mobile advertising platforms are very active in Indonesia, including Opera, InMobi, AdMob, BuzzCity and MobPartner. Ad impression volumes are extremely high - InMobi alone is now delivering more than 30 billion mobile ads per quarter.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But one of the exciting things about Indonesia is that traditional online payment methods and mobile advertising both miss large parts of the market. Of the 240 million people in Indonesia, only 15 million have credit cards and 60 million have debit cards. So there is a huge swathe of users who are potential revenue-generators for internet companies, but who can\'t easily be reached with the usual payment platforms.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a result, a number of innovative online payment methods are likely to emerge that are particular to Indonesia, with potentially huge rewards for those who get the approach right.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Major players are coming in to the market</h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A number of billion dollar technology companies have established Indonesian ventures in the past two years: notably Rakuten (Japan), Tencent (China), Rocket Internet (Germany) and Google (USA), each taking a slightly different approach to market entry.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, some of Indonesia\'s biggest companies such as Djarum, Bakrie, MNC, CT Corp and Kompas Gramedia Group have also begun operations.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yet despite the millions of dollars of investment funding that sits behind their ventures, it is not yet clear which of them will emerge as long-term winners.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Amazons, Taobaos, eBays, Facebooks, PayPals and Tencents of Indonesia are nowhere near to being anointed yet.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5></h5>\r\n<h6>Sources: Bank Indonesia, e27, Alexa, Daily Social.</h6>','Indonesia - Internet industry structure','','inherit','closed','open','','1065-revision-v1','','','2013-08-28 10:12:23','2013-08-28 10:12:23','',1065,'http://redwingconsulting.com/uncategorized/1065-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2595,1,'2013-08-28 10:19:01','2013-08-28 10:19:01','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1570\" alt=\"Page - Context - Internet industry structure graphic 3\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Page-Context-Internet-industry-structure-graphic-3.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"250\" />\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The internet sector in Indonesia is dominated by the mobile companies - the three largest ISPs are also the three largest mobile operators, and the majority of users use a mobile handset to access the internet. The broadband price war between the Big 3 (Telkomsel, Indosat and XL) that began in 2009 marked the start of Indonesia\'s internet boom, and their high marketing spend continues to push the market forwards. The fixed-line ISPs simply don\'t have the scale to compete in the mass market, so their focus is on businesses and wealthier residential customers.</h4>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dramatic shift in access technologies</h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The past three years has seen a rapid change in the types of technologies used by Indonesians to access the internet. Until 2009, broadband internet connections were very expensive (US$50 per month and up) relative to average salaries, so the majority of internet users gained access via internet cafes (the previously ubiquitous Warung Internets, or <em>Warnets</em> as they are known).</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2009 a broadband price war started between the mobile operators, built on the successful deployment of enhanced 2G technologies and also the build-out of 3G in the more lucrative cities. Within two years the monthly internet access fee had fallen below US$20. In a clear demonstration of how the mobile operators drive the internet market in Indonesia, between 2009 and 2012 mobile internet access tripled and Warnet access fell by half.</p>\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">An ISP market dominated by the mobile operators</h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are around 300 ISPs in Indonesia, 35 of which own network infrastructure, with the rest simply reselling capacity. The mobile operators are the largest ISPs by far, because the majority of users in Indonesia access the internet via a mobile device.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Telkomsel and Indosat are the largest ISPs, and are able to offer both mobile and fixed internet access through their group companies. XL is the third largest ISP. The other mobile operators (3, Axis, SmartFren, Esia and Ceria) are significantly smaller, since the Big 3 hold an 80% share of the mobile market.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The top 3 sell their internet connections under the following brand names:</p>\n\n<table style=\"width: 650px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 60px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 190px;\"><img alt=\"Speedy\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Speedy.png\" width=\"160\" height=\"49\" /></td>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Telkomsel Speedy (also bundled with Telkom Flash, a fixed-line broadband service)</span></td>\n</tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 60px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 190px;\"><img alt=\"Indosat Super 3G\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Indosat-Super-3G.png\" width=\"160\" height=\"52\" /></td>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Indosat Super 3G</span></td>\n</tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 60px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 190px;\"><img alt=\"XL hotrod\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/XL-hotrod.png\" width=\"160\" height=\"32\" /></td>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: small;\">XL Hotrod</span></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Line speeds are similar between all three operators, with connection speeds generally peaking at around 3Mbps...on a good day and in a good location. And despite claims by the providers of much higher broadband speeds, most times in Indonesia you are happy if you can get a steady 512 kbps, especially if you\'re in a high-density area such as Jakarta\'s Golden Triangle.</p>\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fixed ISPs focus on high-end business and residential markets</h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A number of fixed-line ISPs have built fibre-optic networks of varying sizes and capacities in some of the major cities. They primarily focus on business customers, plus some residential and apartment buildings, offering line speeds of up to 50 Mbps, but with correspondingly high prices. They have increasingly become niche high-end providers, and though they talk a good fight they are unable to compete with the massive customer bases and marketing budgets of the mobile operators.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The cable TV providers such as FirstMedia and Kabelvision also provide high-speed fixed internet connections, but cable TV penetration is relatively low in Indonesia (reaching about 4% of households) so they are not major players in the overall market.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So Indonesia will remain - as it always has been - a mobile-led market, with Telkomsel, Indosat and XL setting the pace for the other ISPs in terms of pricing, data allowances and benchmark line speeds.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And if they play their cards right, the Big 3 also have an opportunity to leverage their market-dominating position to provide internet services, and to develop significant revenue streams from messaging, entertainment, social media and e-commerce applications.</p>\n\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sources: APJII, Telkomsel, Indosat, XL Axiata, Telkom, Pyramid Research, Yahoo/TNS.</h6>','Indonesia - ISP industry structure','','inherit','closed','open','','390-autosave-v1','','','2013-08-28 10:19:01','2013-08-28 10:19:01','',390,'http://redwingconsulting.com/uncategorized/390-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2596,1,'2013-08-28 11:17:40','2013-08-28 11:17:40','','Successes, failures, and the reasons why','','inherit','closed','open','','1802-revision-v1','','','2013-08-28 11:17:40','2013-08-28 11:17:40','',1802,'http://redwingconsulting.com/uncategorized/1802-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),
