Beyond Triple Play assess the different opportunities broadband operators have in offering services beyond the core triple play offer of telephony, TV and broadband. Many have launched home monitoring or digital storage services, or moved into content with online music, games, or video. A few have tried to harness their large audiences by developing online community or UGC offerings. And some are trying to take greater advantage of their core assets, such as directories, and bring them into the broadband era.
Yet many of these service areas are not without problems. Huge global players dominate much of the online content world, and displacing them will be no easy task. Some services are also unproven in terms of their popularity with the consumer and their revenue models. And some operators are finding that they are not well placed to provide these services, in terms of how their business is structured and how they are perceived in the mind of the consumer.
Beyond Triple Play reviews the services landscape and assess where the greatest opportunities lie for operators. Which services are operators best placed to offer? Where will they face the greatest competition? What assets do different operators have to enable them to make these service plays? Which services can be used to reduce churn and which can increase ARPU? And where should operators look to make future service plays beyond those that are typically offered today?
