Telcos have a lot of data in hand. As a telecom provider, the company has access to a wide array of data including subscriber demographic, location, call patterns, websites visited and media watched, network usage, application usage etc. All these data collected provide insights about customer activities. Telco operators collect several terabytes of data on a daily basis. All this data creates a fantastic opportunity for telcos. Latest analytical techniques can be leveraged on these data to analyse and to assist companies to unlock user insights and market intelligence to increase revenue and customer service. In addition to that telcos can also consider selling their customer data to third party companies which will benefit from that data. Monetization of this telecom data generates a new stream of revenue along with its already existing traditional revenue stream.
Effective competition is widely seen as a key to the development of telecommunications services. The ability of new telecommunications networks to interconnect fairly and efficiently with existing networks is critical to the development of competition. AT&T has undergone numerous changes since its inception in the late 19th century. The McKinsey 7 S framework as applied by Pascale is recommended to manage the changes they are facing to adopt a greater competitive presence in the global economy. In conjunction with this framework, numerous other models were applied to analyse the global competitive position of AT&T. Recommendations for a revised strategy and direction for AT&T have been made throughout this document including two scenarios of how the telecommunications industry might develop towards 2000, while outlining the impact on AT&T.

None of the Telco’s can survive without upgrading and advancing their technological backbone. Same is the case for ZonG whereby extensive efforts are being put into action to upgrade the access network and the in-house platforms.
One.Tel was launched by Jodee Rich and Brad Keeling in 1995 (Cook, 2001). At first, it looked to get the advantages from deregulation of telecommunication industry by reselling other network’s capacity and making money through stock market speculation. Rich and Keeling tried to increase the company’s shares rather than to profit the company (Cook, 2001). Initially, One.Tel used to develop the culture of strong teamwork and togetherness. There was no hierarchy in the structure of the company. However, the dissonance of its culture and system is the main factor that led to One Tel decline.

Because Brazil problems should have been addressed prior to becoming a MNC in that country and in that respect MNCs should have consider both macro and micro risks of that country to minimize any risks with any operations in a developing or emerging economies.

Therefore, both BellSouth and AES should consider the government policies of Brazil by meeting their concerns. By adjusting their strategies MNCs can use various techniques (i.e. integrative, protective, defensive and

Though in the modern era, telecommunication went through segmentation in the market trends, and now in this day and age it would be difficult to find someone who does not own some form of mobile technology. Many phone providers battle to provide the best service for their customers (Figure 1).

...iness market. However, if satellite access is really going to catch on, as operators hope and believe, then there has to be traffic over the network after five o'clock as well. For that to happen, there has to be a consumer market, which will require much lower priced terminals. "Satellite operators have very aggressive target prices in mind for terminals, which is somewhat disadvantageous for Ericsson, compared with traditional suppliers," says Rudi Omholt. "Our strategy is to take advantage of our experiences and know-how from MINI-LINK and the telecom industry. Our strength lies in our reliability and quality and the fact that we are able to show operators an impressive production capacity and a global presence." Ericsson is following developments in the market for broadband access via satellite with interest, and is trying to put its finger on the desires of customers. By offering terminals and trying to land its first contract, the company hopes to form a stable foundation for new operations. "We will be setting serious requirements that one or more of the major telecom operators express an interest in the satellite market," says Ingmar Karlsson.
