Twelve New Commandments of Telecom
  • Industry boundaries will crumble and reform
  • New types of companies rapidly emerge, stimulating new technologies, but ultimately are absorbed by larger players
  • Companies not previously thought of as competitors enter the market
  • Customer segmentation grows in strategic importance
  • Customer loyalty grows in strategic importance
  • Prices generally drop, but not for all customer segments
  • Elaborate new packaging and pricing schemes emerge
  • Wide geographic scale and product/technology scope emerge as key weapons
  • Service quality drops as costs are squeezed
  • Companies struggle to maintain profitability at lower revenue levels
  • Customer usage of all telecom services increases dramatically
  • Unit prices fall, on average
