10. On the Teligen Blog
Teligen’s tariff blog is where we follow telecoms tariff developments around the world, developments in price
benchmarking and other issues related to the analysis of prices for telecoms services. Below is a taste of the most
recent entries.
Tablet Plans Now Account For 40% of All Mobile Broadband Offers
Based on data from the 113 operators and 33 countries covered in Strategy Analytics' Mobile Broadband Price
Benchmarking Service, the proportion of table-specific plans currently accounts for 1,135 of the 3,000 plans covered
in the service - or 40% of all offers. This is not surprising when we consider the dramatic rise in the use of tablets, and
the fact that tablet use presents a good revenue opportunity for operators, providing they can hit the sweet spot
with plans. Operators offer a growing number of tablets, with many offering at least 5 within their portfolio of plans,
including the new third generation Apple iPad which is making an entrance.
