The document discusses strategies for telecommunications companies to achieve differentiation in mature markets through advanced analytics. It provides examples of how tiered pricing plans can constrain high-usage customers and how new tariff launches can be measured. Additional strategies discussed include zero-rated social networks, happy hours for time-shifting internet usage, speed buttons, and tailored offers personalized for each customer. A case study shows how these analytics helped Orange France think long-term and already outperform main competitors.
