Synopsis: Mobile operators may be overlooking their greatest asset—customer data—as they fight in crowded markets for a competitive edge. To win, they must increase customer spending, reduce churn and attract new subscribers. The vast array of customer data that they generate could be a powerful competitive weapon. However, only when this data is properly gathered, managed and analyzed can its full potential be utilized.

8. Operators’ Reality
“Telcos are sitting on a huge pile of data. But they can only efficiently use a small portion.
Leveraging it effectively requires a very targeted approach to gain usable outputs.”
(Deutsche Telekom)
“Pricing models are about moving from one-size-fits-all to consumption-based models
with much more flexibility and customization built in to allow the end user to make the
choices they want to make based on what they need at that moment in time.”
(Alicia Dietsch, AT&T)
