Competition is intense and consumer loyalty to mobile
operators is low in Asia–Pacific
Figure: Length of time respondents have been with their
current mobile operator, by country or region [Source:
Analysys Mason, 2015]
Question: “How long have you been with your present
mobile phone provider?”; n = 3000.
The level of consumer loyalty to mobile
operators in Asia-Pacific region is much
lower than the worldwide average:
Asia–Pacific is a highly competitive
market
Postpaid contracts help reduce
customer churn, while in a number of
emerging markets, prepaid dominates.
Only 29% of respondents in Asia–Pacific
have never switched operator, compared

Multiple-SIM usage is prevalent in emerging markets,
increasing the division of the operator–customer relationship
Questions: “How many different SIM cards do you have?”; “Do you own any handsets that can use more than one SIM card
at the same time?”; and “What key factor motivated you to leave your previous mobile provider?”; n = 3000.
Table: Percentage of respondents use more than one SIM and use a multiple-SIM handset, by country [Source: Analysys

Indonesia Malaysia South Korea
Use more than one SIM 73% 46% 19%
Use a multiple-SIM handset 58% 35% 18%
Multiple-SIM usage is prevalent in middle-income economies, such as Malaysia and
particularly in Indonesia. That includes not only using more than one SIM, but also using
multi-SIM handset.
Driven by the fast-growing take-up of smartphones, the amount of money spent on
handsets, relative to that spent on services, is moving in favour of handsets.
This is a further division of the operator–customer relationship. That means threats to
incumbent/primary SIM but opportunities to market challengers.

There is potential to monetize high network KPIs such
as high speed, particularly in emerging markets
Figure: When you next change your contract or
handset, would you be prepared to pay extra for 4G
LTE? [Source: Analysys Mason, 2015]
Subscribers that did not yet have LTE were willing
to pay more for it particularly in EMAP – Direct $
Faster data speed will lead to higher usage of
mobile Internet service – Indirect $.
This overall price willingness includes the cost of
the handset, which means that much of the
revenue increase will be lost to handset vendors.

Market education and service availability need to be improved
to maximize high-end service adoption in emerging markets
Educating customers about high-end
services and its benefits is a challenge
for mobile marketing teams. Consumers
are easily confused about whether they
have the service and what the marketing
messaging means.
About 35% of respondents in Indonesia
and Malaysia did not know what LTE is.
Operators that are going to offer LTE
services need to make sure that the
market is ready before the launch.
Nearly 40% of consumers in Malaysia
and Indonesia know what LTE is, but do
not have it. Operators need to
understand why and find a better way to
serve them.

Working closely with handset vendors and exerting more
influence in the value chain to remain relevant
Our survey shows that operators in Asia–
Pacific – or at least Indonesia and
Malaysia – are very involved in handset
retail channels.
The gap between “handset bundled”
and “operator channel” indicates the
operators’ relative success in selling
handsets outside contract bundles.
Operators can potentially mitigate multi-
SIM and multi-device disruption by:
Exerting greater control over sales
channels and device manufacturers
Controlling and influencing the device
choice and reduce churn
Gaining a share of device revenue from
bundled plans and being handset
channels

Three APAC countries are categorised
into three distinct groups.
This reflects a potential problem for
operators in less advanced markets:
differentiation will be increasingly based
on factors such as devices and value-
added services rather than price per unit.
For many countries in APAC, the
importance of data is ascending and
operators must adjust marketing
messages and fine-tune tariffs to
emphasise mobile data.

which was representative of mobile Internet users in each
country. This obviously increases the importance of mobile data
among our respondents relative to the population as a whole.

Seamless multi-screen is an expectation and it helps to
consolidate fragmented consumer demand across devices
Consumers are increasingly using
multiple devices to access OTT video
content.
Consumers now watch video on an
average of 3 device types.
OTT video services have also affected the
viewing habits of respondents, and the
most important shift is in the device types
used to access this content.
Part of TV’s high usage is because
consumers are plugging devices into TVs.
If a service provider can offering video
services across major platforms, it will
offer the convenience that consumers
long for, and improve service stickiness.

services, 2012 and 2014 [Source: Analysys Mason, 2014]

VoIP is not providing a compelling reason to convert usage
from voice minutes
VoIP has yet to convince most users to
convert voice minutes in the same
manner as they’ve done with SMS.
Price considerations were the foremost
reason for not using VoIP apps on their
smartphones, followed by user
experience
Operators have increasingly offered more
voice minutes to consumers and this
seems to have largely worked so far.
This though is not sustainable, and
operators will have to compete on user
experience as VoIP services get better
with improved networks.

The definition of the digital economy is actually simple
The goods and services within the digital economy can be broadly grouped as:
intrinsically digital – streaming video, ebooks, computing services, Facebook
substitutes for established equipment and services – virtual private
communications networks, security services, virtualised PBXs
the marketing and sales of physical goods – Amazon, eBay, Alibaba.
It also includes the role of governments in the development of infrastructure,
services, and the enablement of people and of social and economic enterprise.
The ‘digital economy’ is all economic activity mediated
by software and enabled by telecoms infrastructure.
