FOREWORD
Welcome to the 10th Anniversary edition of the Netsize Guide, the comprehensive work of reference that has consistently provided our readers important insights into the mobile developments impacting business and our society at all levels.

FOREWORD
In this decade we have seen phenomenal change and progress.

We have experienced a shift from low-end devices and feature phones to smartphones, tablets and connected devices that enrich our lives, making it easier than ever before to enjoy entertainment and do business. We have gone from a situation where wireless connectivity a factor the GSMA reminds us is instrumental in efforts to improve education and eradicate poverty was scarce, to a world where mobile broadband uptake is rapid. We have observed the rise of transformational content and services, from mobile apps that allow us to use our devices in ways we could not have imagined just a few years ago, to social networks that empower us to connect with friends, peers and companies on our terms and in real-time.

Indeed, the last decade has allowed us to start thinking of mobile as the 1st screen, providing us the interface to digital content and services, as well as the bridge to the physical and virtual worlds. We are embarking on a new phase in growth and innovation, a direction that will not be defined by technology alone. Transaction, Transformation, Trust In this Netsize Guide by Gemalto we explore the three themes that characterize the state of mobile today, and define its future path: Transaction, Transformation and Trust. As we show in the TRANSACTION chapter, we have come to rely on mobile devices at every stage of the consumer journey. From researching products to making purchases, we reach for our mobile devices for assistance.
In the next chapter, aptly titled TRANSFORMATION, we illustrate how mobile devices are also acquiring the capabilities to transform long-established business models around content, communications and connectivity. The cloud allows us to demand and expect simple and easy access to our media, content and networks anywhere, anytime. In the final chapter, TRUST, we offer a new perspective on what matters most in mobile. Technology will not determine the next step in the evolution of mobile. As this chapter explains: the next phase of mobile will be determined by our very human requirements for simple, transparent services we can trust. Trust is critical. It is the fundamental competency required by all the players and people that make up the digital business ecosystem. Building and maintaining trust with these stakeholders will emerge as the key determinant of competitive advantage and ultimately success. In fact, only a relationship built on trust will provide companies the access to the customer insights that lay the groundwork for the applications, devices, services and infrastructure we want (and will expect).

Were seeing phenomenal growth rates in terms of what consumers are doing with their mobile devices while they are in a physical bricks-and-mortar storesearching for product information, ratings and reviews, or to competitive shop and compare prices.
Kelly ONeill, director of industry marketing, Oracle-ATG
Companies are not only waking up to the mobile opportunity; they are grabbing on to it with both hands. The result is a seismic shift from exploration to execution, reflected in strategies that are comprehensive, comprising solutions that address every phase of the consumer journey, from awareness and engagement, to conversion and commerce. Increased smartphone adoption, a sharp rise in mobile Internet usage and a marked increase in mobile advertising spending in key regions including the U.S. and Europe have injected renewed dynamism into the mobile marketing landscape. Indeed, the global trend toward smartphone adoption and increased mobile Internet access among consumers is igniting renewed marketer emphasis on mobile. In Europe, research firm eMarketer predicts the number of mobile users in the EU-5 accessing the web from their mobile devices will double from 2010 to 2015, reaching a whopping 94 millionCL. Application and browser usage rates, which are steadily creeping up as more users go online with their mobile devices, will also continue to rise, presenting companies new options to connect with customers and drive commerce.

These numbers dovetail well with MobiLens, a recent report from research firm comScore based on a survey of mobile users in the EU-5. Specifically, comScore estimates some 97 million consumer use mobile apps on their devices. The chart below provides a breakdown by category. The Country Data section in this Netsize Guide highlights detailed usage statistics by country. While smartphone penetration is clearly on the rise, the mix of operating systems and platforms across key regions is radically different. Apple and Android have a strong position in the U.S. market. However, Symbian leads the pack in Africa, Asia and much of Europe. Regardless of how the platform wars play out, the bottom line is that more mobile users equipped with smartphones mean more users will access the Web from their mobile devices. In turn, greater use of browsers and apps mean enhanced opportunities for marketers to engage customers at every stage of the purchase process, from building awareness all the way through to boosting loyalty. Simple phones, extraordinary services While the industry may be excited about the advance of smartphones, its ordinary feature phones that empower billions to lead truly mobile lives. According to the annual mega-trends presentationCL compiled by Mary Meeker, renowned industry analyst and partner at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB), feature phone users outnumber smartphone users by a ratio of nearly six-to-one. Feature phones are not just in the majority. FIGURE 2: They are driving services innovation as Global Smartphone vsMobile Phone Subscribers 2011E people in emerging and developing markets use simple text messaging to improve their lives, conduct commerce, transfer money and even oversee elections.

embedded this interaction in our daily routine. This is the key finding of a 2010 U.K. market surveyCL conducted by Dialogue Communications , a mobile messaging and mobile payments company. It found that more than 67 percent of respondents actually want more messaging services in their lives. Specifically, respondents said they would welcome reminders and alerts via text for everything from medical alerts to bill payments. Why? Respondents said text reminders are more convenient and reliable than post or e-mail, and much easier to sync up with the calendars they already use on their mobile phones.
People- powered communications Mobile devices are highly personal. Little wonder most consumers are quick to dismiss marketing messages about products, services and offers that arent relevant to their interests. Thats called spam. However, consumers are increasingly willing to receive marketing messages from the brands they love provided they promote products and services that are aligned with their individual preferences and their requirement for privacy. Thats called permission based mobile marketing. For this reason, permission based mobile marketing defined by the Mobile Marketing Association as the practice of gaining consent from consumers in advance of a continuing marketing dialogue taking place on mobile devices and in return for some kind of value exchangeCL is emerging as the ideal way to communicate with consumers. For brands and agencies, permission based mobile marketing ensures the brand message is delivered to an audience of opted-in consumers who genuinely want
to hear it. Thus, permission marketing provides the cornerstone of a strategy that delivers reach, interactivity and high response rates. For mobile operators, permission based mobile marketing allows them to be full participants in the mobile marketing value chain, not just a pipe. Whether the messages are delivered via SMS, or transmitted more effectively overthe-air directly to users SIM cards where they instantly pop up on the mobile phones idle screen and engage user interaction, mobile operators control the networks and manage the inventory. Fortunately for the operators, brands and advertisers consider this inventory optedin consumers who have volunteered information about their preferences, hobbies and interests to be the most desirable. More importantly, permission builds trust, and ultimately lays the groundwork for all companies including mobile operators to connect with consumers. Executed correctly, the same approach can be used to increase customer engagement, boost loyalty and improve CRM..

Shift happens Mobile marketing is experiencing a massive shift from experimentation to execution, reflected in increased spend and the advance of more ambitious campaigns that focus on consumers at every stage of the purchase funnelCL (awareness, engagement, consideration, conversion and loyalty). This was a key takeaway at the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) Forum in London last October. The MMA, the premier global non-profit trade association representing all players in the mobile marketing value chain with more than 700 member companies, is an action-oriented organization with global focus, regional actions and local relevance.
We realized that brands and agencies are our primary audience, observed Paul Berney, MMA CMO. Thus, the industry at-large no longer needs convincing that mobile is an indispensable part of the marketing mix. Now brands and agencies have to get down to the work of developing effective mobile marketing strategies that will allow them to achieve key business objectives and drive sales. Another indicator that heralds healthy mobile marketing growth is the decision by major companies to dedicate more budget to mobile. A new report released by Forrester Research predicts that marketers will finally allocate sufficient funds into mobile, with an estimated $1 billion in spend for mobile display and search advertising by year-end. Forrester further predicts that marketers will become masters at using mobile marketing channels to generate real leads, drive foot traffic into stores and to sell products and services. FIGURE 3:

In Europe, analysts are positive about the outlook for growth. Mobile ad network aggregator Smaato and research firm mobileSQUAREDCL predict an increase in mobile ad spending in the EU-5 from $122.6 million in 2010 to $1.29 billion in 2015. In the same period, mobile display spending alone is expected to rise from $52.8 million to $339.1 million.

Mobile advertising revenues are also set to rise, driven by the initiatives and investments of big players including Apple and Google. New researcCL from Informa Telecoms and Media forecasts global mobile advertising revenues will show strong growth over the next five years and generate revenues of around $24 billion in 2015. Shop till we drop Clearly, mobile is top of mind for an increasing number of marketers as they seek to accompany consumers at every stage of the purchase funnel. But what do consumers think about this new mega-trend? Mobile Exposure 2010CL, an ambitious annual, independent consumer study conducted by TNS on behalf of mobile operator Orange sharply, sheds light on how
Mobile on the move A survey developed by JumptapCL a provider of targeted mobile advertising, in conjunction with publisher DM2 Media, points to an upward trend. The first State of Mobile Advertising survey (released March 2011) aggregates responses from nearly 350 mobile advertising executives including brands, agencies, publishers and technology enablers. Among the findings: Mobile takes a bigger slice of the pie. For those with near-term mobile marketing plans, 60 percent intend to draw their mobile budget from their
current online budget. An additional 20 percent said that mobile will be an entirely new line item. Opportunities in mobile CRM. Advertisers were evenly split between direct response and branding campaigns with 51 percent citing awareness/ loyalty and 49 percent citing customer acquisition and retention. New verticals emerge.

consumers are engaging with mobile media content, including advertising. By way of background, the report examines the usage and habits of mobile media users across four European markets: U.K. (1,000 mobile media users and 450 iPhone users), France (1,000 mobile media users and 450 iPhone users), Spain (1,000 mobile media users and 450 iPhone users), and Poland (1,000 smartphone users).

Consumers willingness and readiness to engage in mobile shopping and commerce is also echoed by a global Accenture survey, Retailing in an Era of MobilityCL. It argues the growing use of smartphone technology and the economic downturn have encouraged cost-conscious consumers to explore alternative retail channels such as mobile to secure bargains.
Almost half 48 percent of consumers use their mobile devices to research or browse products and services, according to Oracles Mobile TrendsCL: Consumer Views of Mobile Shopping and Mobile Service Providers report. The report reinforces that mobile commerce is growing dramatically as consumers are increasingly turning to their mobile devices to comparison-shop, get product ratings and search for coupons.
Among the finding: smartphone users would find it useful to download money-off coupons to their phones (79 percent) and receive instant money-off coupons as they pass by an item in a store (73 percent). Conversely, fewer than half (48 percent) of smartphone users have downloaded a coupon from their PCs.

Research firm Juniper Research has identified three key segments comprising the mobile retail market: mobile coupons (total redemption value of mobile coupons), mobile smart posters (total fees resulting from smart poster product information, downloads and sales), and mobile advertising (total ad spend on mobile distribution channels). Based on this model, Juniper Research expects the global mobile retail market to enter a new growth phase. Mobile Marketing & Retail Strategies: Advertising, Coupons & Smart Posters 2009-2014CL further indicates the mobile retail market, which was worth $4.1 billion in 2009, will experience FIGURE 5: average annual growth of about 24 The Mobile Retail Opportunity ($m) Split by Smart Posters, Coupons & Advertising 2009-2014 percent during the next four years to reach slightly more than $12 billion in 2014.

Contactless payments pay-off Mobile payments are moving to the top of agenda, as players across the ecosystems jockey for position to enable mobile commerce via a variety of mechanisms and approaches, ranging from smartphone apps and 2D barcode schemes to contactless payments and mobile wallets enabled by NFC. NFC or Near-Field Communications is a set of technologies that supports communications between two devices in close proximity to each other. An NFC link enables small amounts of data to be exchanged over short distances, making it an ideal solution where quick exchange of small amounts of data is paramount to quality user experiences such as mobile payments. In the U.K., mobile operators Vodafone, Everything Everywhere and O2 entered a joint venture called m-wallet, a service built around a smartphone app that enables contactless payments. This move followed on the heels of news that mobile operator Orange UK had sealed a partnership deal with credit card company Barclaycard to offer contactless mobile phone payment solutions to its customers. Elsewhere in Europe, French operators Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR joined with Atos Origin to form a joint venture company in February 2011 to launch an innovative payment solution, backed by online retailers including Aquarelle, Brandalley, Darty and Rue du Commerce. The service, called Buyster, is described as an innovative, simple, fast and secure remote payment solution for fixed and mobile internet purchases. Spanish mobile operators Orange, Telefnica Movistar and Vodafone signed a cooperation agreement in March 2011 to lay the groundwork for a Near-Field Communication (NFC) ecosystem and so avoid the risk of market fragmentation.
Asia also saw a flurry of activity. In October 2011 the Singapore telecom authority Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) made the decision to implement a trusted third party NFC infrastructure. This will enable banks, payment and service providers to deploy innovative mobile NFC services to all mobile subscribers of Singapores three mobile operators. Such ubiquitous access will spur the growth and adoption of innovative NFC mobile services, and in turn transform Singapores payment landscape, Ronnie Tay, IDA Chief Executive Officer, said in a statement. Contactless payments are poised to take transactions to a new level. Research firm Yankee Group reports global mobile transactions (including banking) were worth $162 billion in 2010 and will reach a staggering $984 billion in 2014. But the real news is the increasing importance of NFC driven by the number of NFC-enabled phones (forecast to grow from 834,000 in 2010 to 151 million in 2014) and NFC transactions (leaping from $27 million in 2010 to $40 billion in 2014). Meantime, a raft of surveys underlines the willingness of consumers to make payments and purchases using their mobile phones. A recent survey by Accenture, aptly titled The Brave New World of Mobile Commerce: A convergence of traditional and alternative currencies, finds that early adapters (those consumers at the forefront of mobile trends across U.S. China, India, Japan, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Korea and the U.K.) are eager to embrace mobile payments. However, there are some regional differences. Two-in-five Asian consumers are already using their mobile devices to make payments and conduct transactions. This, Accenture concludes, is far ahead of the U.S. and Europe, where NFC is just beginning to gain serious traction.

Vertical explosion From department stores to computers & electronics retailers to luxury fashion brands, marketers are investing in mobile advertising to reach and influence people throughout the purchase funnel.
In fact, Millennial Media, a leading independent mobile advertising and data company we interviewed, reports that Retail was the top vertical on the Millennial Media advertising network both globally and in the U.S. Whats more, spend by brands has skyrocketed, growing by a whopping 1300 percent for the period Q1 2010 to Q1 2011. This development is the focus of Mobile Intel: RetailCL, a mobile intelligence report that draws from Millennial Media network data (data that was accumulated across 67 billion mobile impressions in 250 countries and territories in Q1 2011) and consumer research conducted by comScore. The report identifies key mobile retail opportunities and reveals the key characteristics of mobile retail users, a growing segment of consumers using their mobile devices to research and purchase goods and services. So who are the consumers accessing retail content on their mobile devices? The comScore study reveals the vast majority of mobile retail users are tech-savvy digital natives between the ages of 18 and 35 for whom the mobile phone has become an indispensible part of their daily routine. These consumers also tend to be more affluent and lead in the $100,000+ annual income bracket, providing a wide range of companies in sectors including retail, finance and travel a significant audience that is likely to appreciate and respond to a mobile call to action.

From transport tickets to big-ticket items, consumers are moving their daily shopping routine to mobile. Mobile Intel: Retail findings identify a trend to mobile commerce.

The shift away from micro-payments to big-ticket items is a game-changing development that heralds a new phase of growth in consumers buying behavior. More importantly, it sends a clear signal to brands that they can also use mobile to encourage loyalty and repeat purchases. Mobile loyalty The fusion of social and mobile devices and explosion of associated apps have all served to fuel consumer appetite for more and better mobile services. The challenge for businesses in 2012 will be to adapt their mobile offerings to this increased demand, and find ways to target their services at specific segments of their customer base. There is a clear opportunity for mobile to become a primary CRM channel for many services and industries. And this mindset is almost overdue as more reports are already identifying mobile CRM as an untapped opportunity for brands and media companies. Hipcricket, a mobile marketing and advertising company recently acquired by Augme Technologies, has been the first to survey and confirm consumer interestCL in approaches that incorporate loyalty mechanisms such as clubs, communities and coupons. Specifically, Hipcricket found that 57 percent of consumers would be interested in opting in to a brands loyalty club via a mobile social networking application such as Facebook. The survey also found that 80 percent of respondents stated that they still have not been marketed to by their favorite brands via their mobile device. Jeff Hasen, Hipcricket CMO, tells Netsize that an increasing number of his major clients, such as department store chain Macys, are making sure everything they do has a broader objective around how to entice consumers to have an engaged relationship and how to tie it all back into existing CRM programs.

TRANSACTION
Why the increased interest among brands? Hasen identifies two drivers: the advance of APIs that allow companies to integrate a mobile CRM program with their larger existing CRM, and the requirement for brands to rise above the noise way in advance of key dates such as the start of the holiday shopping season. However, retail isnt the only sector bullish about mobile. BNP Paribas, a leading bank we interviewed for the Netsize Guide, sees mobile as part of a multi-channel approach to CRM. As Phillippe Gillet, BNP Paribas Director, IT Strategy and Innovation, points out: With it [mobile] you can manage contact with the customer. For example, the call center can arrange a follow-up appointment with the customer on their mobile phone and then forward this appointment and all the details directly to the customer manager in the branch office. Thus, the relationship with the customer is enriched and managed across all channels: ATMs, personal computers and, of course, mobile. Its important to have a completely integrated view of the relationship with the customer. Engage at every stage Mobile phones present new ways to engage with on-the-go consumers and enable real-time options for mobile rewards, payments and commerce. This is where Mobile Relationship Marketing (MRM) comes in. The concept sits at the center of a global initiative spearheaded by the CMO Council to explore the vast opportunities to create business value, improve process efficiency, trigger product consumption and use, further loyalty and repeat purchase, and increase customer feedback, assistance, affinity and advocacy. As Donovan Neale-May, CMO Council Executive Director, put it in an interview with Netsize, the role of mobile is to ensure continuous customer touch and interaction, sustained support and service. Using new mobile apps, location-based messaging, proximity marketing, and smart merchandising systems in-store, marketers are now able to attract and engage consumers in any place where they are willing to interact, transact or stay in contact with brands. This includes retail, sports, entertainment, destination, education, mass transit, and travel environments. An effective MRM strategy integrates social interaction; customer insight gathering and listening; consumer engagement and loyalty; market listening; purchase incentive or inducement; as well as lifetime revenue optimization, all through optimized use of the mobile channel. Connect the dots, and consumers are open to being involved in mobile programs that deepen engagement and drive loyalty. Now its up to brands and media companies to incorporate mobile in their marketing strategies. In a world where mobile is at the center of all we do, their campaigns and content should do more than simply boost awareness. They must wield mobile to escort consumers at every stage of the purchase funnel and ultimately entice consumers into more engaged and longterm relationships.

TRANSACTION
IN SUMMARY:
We are entering into a new and critical phase of development in the mobile industry. The discussion no longer centers on whether mobile fits in the marketing mix. Mobile has clearly earned its place at the table. Instead, we are debating where mobile fits best in the customer journey and how companies across all verticals can craft mobile campaigns that focus on customer engagement, retention and CRM. Providing value and seeking permission are at the center of communications between companies and consumers. Fortunately, consumers are progressively more accepting of advertising on their devices. However, people also expect value (in the form of relevant information and offers) in return for their attention, and they expect to determine what kind of offers and messages they receive in the first place. The bottom line: more relevant communications increases the likelihood of a response and can help take a customer relationship to the next level. Marketing is driving transactions as consumers recognize real value in mobile commerce and the convenience of being able to research and buy items with their devices at the moment of inspiration. The shift away from micro-payments to big-ticket items is also a game-changing development that heralds a new phase in consumers overall buying behavior. To take advantage of this opportunity companies must think of ways to expand how they use mobile in their messaging and campaigns to allow interaction, enable transactions and encourage loyalty

A leading global publisher of digital and social games, Gameloft has a long track record in creating games for all digital platforms, including mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, set top boxes, connected TVs and consoles. This year saw Gameloft surpass the 200 million download mark on Apple App Store. Major hit franchises such as N.O.V.A. - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance, Asphalt, Modern Combat and Lets Golf have contributed to this monumental achievement. The company is also gearing up to launch a game based on the movie The Adventures of Tintin directed by Steven Spielberg. The deal will bring the iconic comic book character Tintin to fans on their mobile phone, smartphone or tablet devices. Gonzague de Vallois discusses the importance of winning franchises, the dynamism of the smartphone and tablet market and the impact of new gaming platforms and models on future growth opportunities.
The growth in the smartphone and tablet market has contributed significantly to Gamelofts growth. In fact, first-half sales in 2011 on smartphones and tablets grew by over half year on year and represented 30 percent of total sales. Please provide me a high-level view of some of the other key milestones.
Reaching 200 million downloads on the iOS App store was a huge accomplishment. We have been able to develop a truly massive fan base by offering high-quality games on the App Store. And for millions of people worldwide, Gameloft is now synonymous with amazing gaming experiences on their iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

Many reports suggest the focus on downloads is short-sighted. The end-game is actually about getting customers to come back for more and stay loyal. What is your view, and how are you boosting customer long-term loyalty?
We have also adopted a freemium model with some of our games, such as the new release of lets Golf! Its the third generation of a very successful game for us, and its the first time we launche a game free-to-play. For this type of game we dont focus on revenues for the short-term; we think about the long-term value of our customers daily active users. Its a brand new way of thinking about games.
It is a development that impacts our business, especially in view of how gaming has evolved over the last 12 months. Specifically, we have seen two directions emerge. One is the growth in the audience for casual games. The second is the rise of the freemium and free-to-play monetization models. Smartphones are now reaching the mass market, and many of these newer users are interested in a more casual gaming experience. This is different from the first wave of smartphone users, who were mainly early-adopters, and expected more sports and action games. The shift in monetization models is obvious when you look at the Android Marketplace app store or the App Store from Apple. There you see that more games are released by freeto-play. And then users buy items depending on the game play.
You started to discuss monetization models. Why the focus on freemium? It was very much about payto-download previously...
20
TRANSACTION
Yes, but the trend to freemium is strong. However, our choice of monetization model also depends heavily on the game play. There are some games that are simply more suitable to a premium model because they ask the users to pay upfront for the game and then allow that person to play forever. The majority of our revenue is coming from the premium model, but this is changing. For this holiday season, for example, we have planned a very strong lineup that includes freemium games. Overall, we support a variety of monetization models, including subscription. Interestingly, subscription today available on iOS is very successful. And one of massively multi-player games, which we offer based on a 90-day subscription is in the top charts across the markets.
Order & Chaos, on the other hand, is a combination of all models. You pay to get the game, but you pay $6.99, and with that you can play the game and there is a three-month subscription package included. From within the app, you can buy items to progress quicker in the game. After three months is up you can keep playing, but you have to subscribe and pay $0.99 a month. The consumer experience and the monetization are intertwined. You cannot monetize well if you dont deliver the right user experience. If the experience is right, then you can add on top to let users buy items from inside the game, or subscribe to keep playing if the game play is compelling.
and there is commerce around an in-app purchase inside the game.
You describe Gameloft as a publisher of digital and social games. Please outline your approach to social media and the pillars of your social media strategy.
Id like to move to commerce and transactions. What do you enable? Where do mobile gaming and mobile commerce meet?
There are different types of commerce. Theres the in-game commerce and, as we discussed earlier, the freemium model is exploding we see more and more transactions there. To make it all work you need to have the right billing and make the purchasing experience as smooth as possible. Then there is the commerce that is added on to the game. A well-known example is Angry Birds. When you play that game, you can access a store directly from the game where you can buy toys and t-shirts. That is commerce that helps create brand experiences, where the game is the entry point,
Our strategy is built on two main pillars: one is community. This is the effort we focus on creating a direct relationship with consumers through social media. To this end we have community managers in all our main markets, who interact with our consumers getting their feedback, informing them about what we are doing via Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. We will be celebrating a pretty significant number of Facebook fans soon, so that shows you how social media supports and grows our relationships. The second pillar is how we integrate social media elements inside the actual games. To achieve this we have been adding multi-player elements to our games to make them realtime, interactive and engaging. An example is Lets Golf! 3. You can play it with a friend from start to finish. You can arrange a match and you can ask someone to join you on a particular hole, for instance. The experience is that I can see you playing that hole in real-time through a little window on my screen. So, its just like being together on a golf course and playing the same hole. Beyond making the game multiplayer, we also leverage how you

How are you dealing with proliferation of devices and platforms?
friends can be part of your game, even you are not playing simultaneously. In this scenario, we enable users to invite friends and we also reward them for inviting their friends. Think of what you see on the PC games like FarmVille from Zynga and this is very much like the social gaming experience we enable you to have on your smartphone.
The good news for us is that weve been coping with fragmentation for about ten years now because we have experienced the same problems in the feature phones. For each game we launched we were covering over 1,000 devices, which meant we had to support 1,000 different versions in ten different languages. So, actually the fragmentation has decreased overall, and the fragmentation on Android and iOS is also less. We want to bring the best experience to each device so we dont just focus on creating games for the platform that represents the lowest common denominator. Instead, we adapt each game to the potential of each device, so that means adapting the display to the device screen size and the levels of features to the processing power. If a device has better processing power, then we will do an enhanced version to take full advantage of that capability. Of course, if you want to do tailor-made versions for each device, then you need to have the teams to do that. We have seen that consumers want this experience on their phone. The higher the quality you deliver, the higher the customer satisfaction and the more likely those customers will be loyal. So, yes, it is a large investment, but we think consumers deserve it, and weve been showing for the last ten years that its paying off.

How is the advance of tablets and other shifts in devices and platforms impacting your business and the game experience you deliver?
Yes, its true the tablet market is a growing business. Its still mainly driven by the iPad, by the iOS devices. However, we think that Android will gain traction and mean more competition in the market. We support all the platforms, but we have also adapted our level of support to the level of business that those platforms are bringing us. Today the two leaders are iOS and Android, so thats where we have the biggest support. Its true that this was not a priority for us in the past years. But today its a bigger priority for us. We are focused on two main platforms: smartphones and tablets.

Gavin Stirrat discusses the evolution of mobile advertising and the future of mobile commerce.

Were continuing to see ever-growing spend from a growing pool of directresponse advertisers. This includes smaller, mobile-specific companies, such as game developers, using mobile advertising to promote their offers and apps, as well as larger companies that are looking to increase the reach of their services and apps. The growth is coming from a wide range of companies from retailers to FMCGs, and from finance companies to restaurants. Direct-response has always been a strong focus, but now more brands are getting involved.
More brands from more verticals are becoming what you call directresponse advertisers. What are their campaign requirements and how are you meeting their needs?

At the most basic level, these advertisers have a click-through-rate target. However, were increasingly seeing that these companies have an effective CPA or cost-per-download target. So they will come to us saying, We will buy media from you on a CPM or a CPC basis, but I have a target CPA or a target download price of $x. In this case Millennial buys and manages media on their behalf to ensure that we are delivering campaigns that hit their backend ROI goals.
So, there is a range of different objectives. Some spend to boost visibility for their app and move it higher up in the rankings, and other brands are looking more to generate sales from the application. In both cases, we are seeing more companies really starting to realize the opportunity in mobile, and as a result create integrated mobile media campaigns which take advantage of the unique attributes of mobile to engage with their audience. This allows them to interact with customers, and the more sophisticated brands are doing huge amounts of sales through their applications.
24
TRANSACTION
What are these objectives and how has the role of mobile evolved?
A lot of these apps are aggregating anonymous consumer engagement insight from their customers, which can then be fed into CRM systems that are used by our advertisers, enabling a more contextual user experience and ultimately more and deeper campaigns and engagements. Travel companies are looking to enable bookings; automotive companies are looking to encourage consumers to register for a test drive or request a brochure; restaurants and fast-food chains are using mobile advertising to allow people to order food for takeout directly through the application.
With the emphasis on repeat spends and longer-term engagement, what capabilities mix (intelligence, targeting, other?) is needed by mobile marketing companies to succeed in the mobile advertising market? Likewise, what expertise should advertisers build to take full advantage of the mobile advertising opportunity?
One of the interesting and challenging areas for the market right now is technology and measurement. The
mobile agencies certainly in the U.K. and around Europe are starting to build their own solutions that help them to do more than just calculate the impressions and the clicks. Thats what everyone was doing 12-24 months ago. Now they are focused on measuring how many downloads are happening and even calculating post-download activity like bookings or sales. Of course, mobile is not the desktop. Its more difficult to measure on mobile, and thats definitely the challenge that the industry faces. If you speak to the media agencies that arent necessarily mobile specialists, that comes up as a barrier to them opening up bigger spends in mobile. That said, for people who understand digital advertising whether that be search, affiliate, display, email the metrics are much the same although the technology challenges are quite different. At the end of the day, the expertise needed is similar to the expertise that already exists in digital broadly.
crowded and increasingly confusing for media buyers, especially media buyers who dont work at mobilespecialist agencies. They also tend to struggle with understanding the benefits of one ad network over another.
Take a step back, and its a repeat of what we saw in Internet and online advertising. A huge number of companies burst onto the space during the dot-com boom and then many disappeared. In mobile this is happening again - only faster. With this accelerated market maturation it is incumbent on all companies to act responsibly and those players with the necessary heritage and experience can help by providing thought leadership for the entire industry and insight and education for the market.

Mobile commerce and transactions are becoming more of a focus because consumers are demanding all the functionality they have on the desktop. Take Amazon or PayPal: both have click-to-purchase products on the desktop and the cookies allow for a fairly seamless online purchase. In mobile, payment methods and products are getting there, but its not quite as seamless a process for the consumer yet.
You mentioned NFC. What is the outlook for NFC, and when will it finally break on to the mainstream in Europe and elsewhere?
This is bound to change over the next 12 months as big e-commerce companies mobilize their offers to take advantage of the market opportunity. NFC is developing at an exponential rate and with mobile network operators and financial service providers now backing the technology take the recent QuickTap launch by Barclaycard and Orange - thats going to help to complete the loop and allow mobile advertisers to really exploit the scale that mobile offers. This is part of a much larger trend happening in the marketplace and across verticals. Many retailers are taking consumers full circle and straight to commerce. Consumers access the app on their smartphone, build shopping lists or organize vacations, and then complete the transaction on the phone because these companies have their payments platforms in place to enable one-click purchasing. Obviously, these are the big brands with the technology and investments to roll it out, so theyre probably ahead of the curve. But it will become more widespread as payment platforms like PayPal, retailers, e-tailers and m-tailers begin to mobilize their offers.
In the U.K. mobile operators are rolling out trials and services and handsets have hit the market that have NFC chips built-in. In the UK, Orange and Barclaycard have launched QuickTap, whilst Google have partnered with MasterCard. Meanwhile, in the US, three major carriers, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, have launched ISIS. However, because this is at an experimentation stage, brands have yet to dip their toes in the water and really take advantage of NFC technologies. There are some exciting scenarios around NFC. Imagine a major fast-food chain. Lets say their system detects that one store is not selling as many burgers as they should be selling and wants to take action to boost sales. This would notify an advertising company or an ad network like Millennial Media. We would then kick in with a campaign that taps into our scale and unique IP to encourage sales by targeting according to consumer segment, and other variables the advertiser requests. To make sure people act on the offer and buy burgers, we can incentivise via mobile coupon and then enable purchase on the spot using NFC technology. We would then run this campaign until the restaurants system notified us that they had made their quota, and then we would switch it off.

All this increases the amount of time people are spending on their devices and thats going to increase the opportunity for advertisers to associate themselves with activities and content. Sensing a business opportunity for our clients, we recently developed an ad format called the mobile circular, which is similar to the circulars merchants used to pay to insert into magazines or newspapers. Our mobile circular is like having a mini-catalogue of promotions on your mobile phone. So, its a rich media unit that allows targeting and a connection through an API directly into the store stock system. All this combined allows advertisers to conduct campaigns that promote merchandise that is overstocked, or perishable as I mentioned before, which means advertisers are getting value from being able to balance supply and demand.

Ironically, the industry has been talking about being able to run a campaign that directed people into a coffee shop, for example, since 2001. Its only since 2010 that it has actually been possible to run that type of campaign and be able to deliver a rich-media advert to a consumer on their phone. Were on an accelerating curve, and I do think 2012 will be the year we will see NFC campaigns that finally do drive consumers into the coffee shop. Only this time well be driving them into coffee shop and their loyalty card will be in their phone, allowing increased engagement and commerce. Or there will be a mobile coupon delivered to their phone that theyll be able to scan at the point-of-sale.

Its about insights and inspiration. If you go back through the Engadget video, youll see that Subway is also participating in the Google Wallet. Subway is an important customer of The Coca-Cola Company, and we try to solve consumer marketing challenges together. After all, were already together in the consumers experience in the realworld. When you walk into a Subway shop, you can order a sandwich and a Coke.

Yes, marketing is more than the sum of the parts. And the work that needs to be done is all about really understanding the flow of goods down the value chain and funds back up. There are major transaction sets here. The work for the marketer is to use mobile effectively to go up and down the value chain, and understand the complete set of mobile tactics and how to integrate mobile.

when they scan the barcode. The consumer probably wants nutritional information. They probably also want information about health and wellness, as well as points of view on the companys role in sustainability efforts. And they want to know all that before and when theyre standing at the shelf, at that moment of truth. So, that one barcode has to deliver all of those things. Direct marketing is a part of it, as is brand marketing. But, in my opinion, its still unclear exactly what combination of skills are needed. It is clear youre going to draw from both.
If we accept that marketing follows this flow, then what is the capabilities mix now needed by brands and marketers to deliver the bundle?
It is tempting to just combine it all and label it direct marketing. But the brand cannot be ignored. In fact, the brand is more important than ever because its the brand promise that creates the consumer value. Remember, were in the brand business. Were in the franchise business, working with our bottling partners.. So we need to do the things that make them successful, and they need to do the things that make our customers 22 million of them successful. Look at it all from this perspective, and you quickly see a virtuous cycle forming. However, I dont think direct marketing captures exactly what this is, or what it encompasses. Lets go back to the 2D barcode example. We talked about two stakeholders out of three: the brand and the customer. But we didnt discuss what the consumer wants

Lets move to the capabilities offered by the technology. Mobile phones, smartphones, tablets. Its a maze out there. How do you navigate it?
We do this though better data. For example, were more disciplined about reporting on app consumption. And were able to give marketers in an individual country more specific data about how consumers are consuming content. Is it on a tablet device? Is it on a smart device, and, if its on a smart device, whose device is it? So, richer data is helping us be better marketers. And it is also making us better customers of the technology we choose and use to collect and analyze the data in the first place. As a result, I can be more accurate about what I need and demand from technology, and that, in turn, helps the folks who are trying to sell brands like
Coca-Cola. We want to partner with someone who wants to experiment and learn along with us. And we strive to coordinate several experiments in parallel, as opposed to one big experiment directed from the center.
This flexible and experimental approach means that Coke is pursuing a lot of interesting projects across a lot of regions all in parallel. Can you share some highlights?
Sure. An interesting example is in Hong Kong, where were using audio fingerprinting. Consumers get involved with our summer promotion by holding their Coke app up to the TV to enter and win. The mobile campaign is an extension of TV, and extending the value of television advertising.

The Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Council is dedicated to high-level knowledge exchange, thought leadership and personal relationship building among senior corporate marketing leaders and brand decision-makers across a wide range of global industries. The CMO Councils 6,000 members control more than $300 billion in aggregated annual marketing expenditures and run complex, distributed marketing and sales operations worldwide.

As you point out, the massive shift to Mobile Relationship Marketing (MRM) is transforming the marketing mix and enabling brands to Engage at Every Stage of the consumer lifecycle. Please define MRM and the opportunities it opens up for brands and marketers.
Customer insight, intimacy and engagement are essential to sustaining successful brands. Yet for many companies, especially those who sell through indirect channels or to cash-only customers, connecting with and influencing the customer is a serious struggle. Consumer marketers around the world are now trying to overcome these traditional obstacles by leveraging the power of the web and mobile social networking to create more direct relationships with customers. Mobile Relationship Marketing (MRM) is the new mantra for companies across multiple industries to ensure

continuous customer touch and interaction, sustained support and service, closer and more dependent connectivity, as well as greater insight and intimacy. MRM has vast potential to create business value, improve process efficiency, trigger product consumption and use, further loyalty and repeat purchase, and increase customer feedback, assistance, affinity and advocacy. Using new mobile apps, location-based messaging, proximity marketing, and smart merchandising systems in-store, marketers are now able to attract and engage consumers in any place where they are willing to interact, transact or stay in contact with brands. This includes retail, sports, entertainment, destination, education, mass transit, and travel environments. An effective MRM strategy integrates social interaction; customer insight gathering and listening; consumer engagement and loyalty; market listening; purchase incentive or inducement; as well as lifetime revenue optimization, all through optimized use of the mobile channel.
value of mobile devices is the just-intime messaging they enable, delivering messaging that notifies, advises, alerts, reminds and - ultimately drives consumption or use of products and services. Additionally, this messaging can also provide assistance and help at the moment when somebodys trying to make a purchasing decision, or looking for the best deal. And in cases where you have time-based messaging, proximity-based messaging, locationbased messaging you have important context that enables companies to message to their customers in the right place, at the right time. The mobile channel is the only channel that can do that. This characteristic makes mobile a significantly powerful way to do individualized relationship marketing, and thats where marketers have got to move toward. Marketers must move past pushing out messages, blasting out offers and paying for positions or displays to get their communications out to the market, and focus much more on engaging, interacting, assisting and enabling. This is a good fit with mobile for several reasons. For one, its accountable. Making investments in mobile relationship development are bound to have a higher return on investment because its more quantifiable, more tangible and more measurable. Second, mobile also enables customers who have strong brand advocacy or strong affinity to share and communicate

their prescription or notifying farmers that the climates just right to spray their crops, these are all interactions that can help trigger consumption and purchase. Mobile can also extend the impact and value of advertising. So, if Im putting up point-of-sale displays, or buying bus shelters, or doing different types of outdoor signage, I can have a quick response tag in there. I can have near-field communications. I can track the degree to which that advertising is attracting the attention of consumers, prompting them to interact and engage with the brand using their mobile device. In print media innovations such as 2D barcodes make it possible for consumers to access more information about the product and even interact with the brand. Thus, mobile complements all advertising and presents marketers with a mechanism for measuring advertising effectiveness and its ability to drive response. Across the board, campaigns have to be designed differently. And they have to take advantage of the impact of mobile. A good example is branded apps, which are proliferating people with mobile devices like them and use them. Marketers can harness apps to define and shape perceptions of their brand. They can enable consumers to interact and have an ongoing relationship through apps. But its not just about branding. Apps make it faster, quicker and easier for companies to
Mobile has earned a seat at the digital marketing table. What are the touch decisions and choices that face marketers as they map out their cross-media strategies?
Marketers can get more creative about where advertising can be placed, inserting it into digital signage systems at gas station pumps, embedding it into mobile content and games, and integrating it into mobile apps. Advertising will always be an essential component. The question is: how do you allocate your spend to get the best return. There are no hard-and-fast rules here. For some brands in some regions of the world, the most efficient way to promote the brand is still to advertise on TV or radio. In many parts of the world it is also difficult to deliver rich media marketing through mobile devices. However, messaging can be done anywhere, any time, and with very low bandwidth consumption. In my view, mobile messaging is a valuable way to invest your money because it can be helpful. Whether youre reminding people to replenish

Mobile also plugs into the business to present us with a variety of different ways to predict, forecast and plan. Marketers have to think this through carefully because there a whole other set of considerations here when it comes to developing and executing a mobile strategy. And you have to think differently about the consumers. Addressing them on mobile is based on who they are and how they embrace mobile in their everyday lives. Different groups of consumers are in different stages of understanding and using mobile technology. For example, reaching senior citizens may require a very different approach than it would to reach consumers in their teens.
You stated that campaigns have to be very different from the way they are right now. Thats telling us that a huge rethink is necessary and impending. Could you please elaborate on that? What needs to be different, and why?
Marketers need to understand this channel and what is possible. They require more research and insights into the content, services, and applications utilized by their target audience. They also have to listen to their customers and understand the degree to which consumers want to access content, receive messages, and opt-in to different types of marketing and CRM programs. Marketers also have to get the value exchange right. They have to give consumers an incentive to engage with the brand. This isnt just about developing a creative strategy, producing advertising and buying space in a complex way to make sure you saturate the market across all channels. Today, its about the interaction. Its about the information. Its about the advice. To be clear, mobile is not just an add-on to an ad campaign. Its not just another channel of content delivery.

So, all of a sudden, my awareness and my sources of awareness are different. From the perspective of the consumer, these sources are more trusted, and they may result in a quicker purchasing
cycle because somebody in the social network has already validated the product or the service. If someone I trust tells me about a great restaurant, then I dont need to consider it any further. Joe says its great, so lets go there. Products and services are consumervoted and consumer-verified. This input drives, influences and shapes buying behavior. This same interaction paves the way for more impulse buying because mobile enables impulse behavior. Im in the neighborhood, where should I go eat? I can access a social network or review the recommendations to get what I need to make that decision immediately. Where do I go and what do I buy? It may be that I make these decisions because Ive got a Living Social offer, a Groupon offer, or a Travelzoo offer. Whatever it is I am making a decision based on it. Consumers are not getting information in a traditional way across traditional channels where the brands and marketers controlled the message. Mobile means its also indirect and via a variety of sources, including the social media networks consumers are interacting with on the move.
We will start with an audit to determine where companies and brands are in the journey. We want to understand what theyve invested in, or what they intend to do relative to the mobile channel. We also want to understand their level of comprehension and knowledge, as well as where they see the potential obstacles and objections. The role of technology in marketing is also important, which is why we will look at the cool, new things enabled by mobile and mobile devices. This insight will allow us to evaluate and assess what sort of paradigm shifts and changes are on the horizon. Additionally, this will allow us to provide companies with aggregated insight into all the enabling solutions and services that are out there to help them embrace the channel more efficiently and more effectively. Finally, we also want to identify the brands that are leaders in MRM adoption and use, companies that have already developed longer term plans and thinking around evolving their services and product offerings to optimize the mobile channel. From retail to transport, mobile impacts many verticals in many ways, and it opens up all new opportunities once you see understand that the focus on marketing moving forward has to be more on advising and less on advertising.

building lasting loyalty

Arguably the largest pan-Asian telecom operator, SingTel boasts a combined user base of over 260 million subscribers and operations in countries including Australia India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Bangladesh and Pakistan. This highly developed network equips SingTel to serve both the corporate and consumer markets. It also enables the operator to pursue an ambitious strategy to deliver all its customers a targeted and rewarding advertising experience. Determined become a media platform and secure a significant share of the mobile and Internet advertising market, SingTel is leveraging its customer knowledge management systems and integrated service platforms to deliver an end-to-end solution across four key areas: inventory creation and control of customer information, media planning, advertisement delivery and advertising campaign performance tracking. Madeline Tan reviews recent company milestones and discusses what the future of mobile holds for her company and the global mobile industry.
You are on track with a strategy to be a leading media owner and garner a significant share of the revenue pie. What capabilities do you feel best position you to advantage of opportunities in mobile marketing and mobile advertising?
SingTel is a market leader here in Singapore, with a significant size subscriber base. Our insights into our users, knowing who our subscribers are, is also asset. We know their demographic profile such as age, gender, and whether they are a home owner as well as there location and where they generally stay. This information helps us to offer offering this inventory to our advertiser partners and the result is a more targeted marketing platform. The enables advertisers on our network to target a specific target audience. If a brand wants to reach, say, women ages 25 to 45, we can do so. And, given the

products and services to purchase.
You were a first-mover in mobile advertising, one of the few mobile operators to truly grasp the opportunity and create an attractive inventory. Please update me on your progress.
Please offer us a recent example of a brand case study that illustrates what SingTel can deliver.
Our platform has been live for two years. We work with media agencies to offer our inventory to advertisers. We are past the pilot stage and have successfully positioned mobile as a new media. Its now seen as another media for advertisers and has a clear position and complementary position in their cross-media ad campaigns. The growth is significant and we have more than doubled, - our mobile advertising revenues year on year. This has been due to our own aggressive strategy and our strong focus on location-based advertising, a focus that brings considerable advantages to our advertisers. To go back to my earlier example, if the advertiser wants to target women between the ages of 25 to 45, and reach them when they are a specific location, then SingTel has the capabilities to offer this. Put another way, we can reach out to consumers at the pointof-purchase. This is where the mobile platform is truly the best platform. After all, it is the mobile device that consumers have with them when they are shopping and looking for
A good example is Old Town Coffee, a Malaysian-based company and SingTel brand client. The company has a network of shops in Singapore and wanted to raise brand awareness among consumers who tend to frequent shops like Starbucks. To achieve a higher profile among their target demographic they harnessed location-based advertising and proximity marketing.

Specifically, we helped them deliver an MMS campaign that targeted people who were near select outlets and stores. Consumers received an MMS message directly on their device, which they could then show to the cashier and redeem in the store for a free cup of coffee. Of course, once the consumers were in the in the store, the owner also had the opportunity to upsell them other products like rice and noodles. The campaign was a success
and had redemption rate of about 3.3 percent, as the average response rate in Singapore is generally below 0.5% We also conducted a location-based advertising campaign with a secondhand car dealer in Singapore. This is a small business, so it chose to deliver only a few thousand SMS messages over a two-day period. During that time only eight people walked into the shop. However, of the eight, two bought a car.
benefits of value-added services like mobile payments, mobile commerce and mobile marketing. What is your view, and how you are uniquely positioned to take advantage of these opportunities?
Firstly, the mobile market in this region is huge. At SingTel we are aware of this. We recognized early on that there is potential in mobile advertising and benefits we can reap from having a significant share of the advertising pie right here in Singapore. We have delivering mobile advertising via SMS and MMS, and with a sharp focus on location-based advertising. It will take time, but I believe the percentage growth of mobile advertising will outpace what we saw some ten years ago when the online Internet was the focus. If you look at the growth curve of mobile advertising, mobile is growing much faster now than Internet did before. So, there is definitely a lot of opportunity and we can take advantage of this. At SingTel, we have our own team, headed by myself, going out there to sell mobile to brands, advertiser and media agencies and educate them about the media platform we offer. So, we are serious about this business. You mentioned mobile payments and mobile commerce. We can also expect this to happen. How soon? Its hard to say, but in Singapore all the three telcos have an interest and are actively pursuing strategies.

The results show the benefits of mobile to target a specific audience and deliver location-based advertising. You have to remember that these consumers were looking to buy a second car - and in Singapore that isnt cheap either. This confirms the quality of our customers and the data we have about them. We have people in our subscriber base who have spending power.
Many reports out of your region claim that mobile operators in Asia-Pacific are ahead of the curve when it comes to understanding and leveraging the
Many companies we have interviewed for the Netsize Guide

While that still sits at the center, more companies are focused on delivering effective campaigns to drive deeper customer engagement and boost customer loyalty.

mass market and get more new leads or conversions. These marketers want us to deliver reach which we do. However, there are also advertisers that want to target specific customer segments and demographics. Our deep customer data and insights allows us to do this as well too, and we can also command a premium rate from the advertisers who require us to know our customers. With this in mind, we have gone out to sell our own mobile advertising. As a result we are not a dumb pipe because we use our data. We have a clear strategy: we want to be a media platform, not just a telco.
I totally agree. In fact, this is one of the reasons we are working with Gemalto on ways to achieve deeper customer engagement and understand customers in order to deliver what is relevant to them. Today consumers are exposed to so many mediums, but they still have limited time and patience when it comes to finding products and services we want. So, we as a mobile operator, are tasked with having to develop a deeper understanding of the customers to serve them better and provide them relevant information. At the same time, knowing our customers better also allows us to help our advertisers to minimize wastage and better engage their target audience. Better targeting makes for a better response. If advertising is relevant to me, then I will likely respond. Thats not always the case when were talking about typical advertising that brands just deliver to everyone regardless of what they want or need. Of course, we are aware there are advertisers that will want to cast the net in the big, wide oceans too, hopefully, reach a

What are your thoughts about the requirement for conversational marketing, and the role of messaging in marketing overall?
Messaging is part of our strategy. We want to do more in the direction of interactive messaging with our consumers to better understand them. Why do we need to know our customers much better? Because thats how we can build brand loyalty. When you know
what your customers want, you can deliver it. That makes the marketing mix more relevant. When you have all this, then customers will always come back to you. I think brand loyalty has begun to wane over the last years, but knowing what your customers want can help to build that loyalty again. Building loyalty is also important to us as a mobile operator because we know we are not just selling mobile tariffs and plans. We also sell our own mobile content via our portal. When a customer buys certain content, or subscribes to content, thats information that tells us a lot about this type of customer. Put it all together, and its information we can use to better target and serve our customers and keep them coming back for more. We are working with Gemalto in an initiative focused on its Interactive SMS product offer. This initiative allows us to communicate - in a two-way conversation - with our subscribers.
Its too early to know how they will meet. It depends a lot on how fast the industry comes together and grows together. It is certainly not going to happen in isolation. It will require partnership. In terms of vision and what I expect, it ties back in with our own advertising slogan at SingTel: Dare to Dream. The message is that you need to dream big. So, speaking personally, I would say there are so many possibilities for mobile commerce that we would want to dream big. We would want to think big. Mobile commerce, market transactions, NFC, marketing. Its all connected and converging.

Well, thats a great way to get to the last question, which is all about your vision for the next 12 months. What are you passionate about? What do you expect, or what would you hope to see?
You are convinced mobile commerce is going to happen. I would be interested in your views about when and how this will likely happen. Where do mobile marketing, mobile advertising and NFC meet, and what can the industry expect?
I would hope to see more the convergence and more cooperation. There are many ways that we can work with different partners to achieve many services. It could be mobile shopping. It could be mobile banking. Personally, I believe in partnering, rather than competing.

Today the football fan wants two things: narrative and news that will keep them up to date with whats happening with their football team because its precious to them; and they want to see the goal. We give people breaking news free of charge. When they download the Sports Locker they can open the app, click on the Chelsea link and access breaking news. Consumers can also see the whole assortment of sports content that is unique to our offer, and purchase, if they so wish.

live within about a minute, giving the users the chance to live the excitement and see the ball crashing into the net. At the end of the game we push a message to the fan saying: We know youre a Manchester United fan and you know they beat Liverpool three-nil, now if youd like to see all of those goals, youre going to have to pay for them. Fans are charged different prices depending on where they are in the world. Thats our freemium versus premium model. We dont want to bastardize valuable content and just put adverts around it that have no relevance. The fans wont benefit, and neither will the advertiser. Therefore, this is the mix of models that makes sense.
which means we are getting fresh content by the second, not the minute. So, theres always new content to drive fans back. And weve developed our content platform to support our relationships with carriers, content aggregators and consumers alike. In practice fans email us video from the games, for example. The video comes into our content management platform, where its formatted, tagged, and given a description. Then, once someone hits the green button, thats that content ingested across the whole of our network. We also have a social aspect to our applications, which were just about to launch. We call it a Fan Zone, a space where people can come on and air their frustration and admiration about the teams they follow and other fans can answer back using their mobile phones. What we want to achieve here is an experience that complements TV, a second screen that people will use to watch the highlights and communicate with their friends around the world. So, the guy in Australia can talk to his mates in the U.K. and South Africa about the game that is being televised live.

Flurry, for example, tells us that a significant number of users download apps and then stop using them after the novelty is gone. How do you keep your content sticky?
Fans can get bored with content. The solution is to continually update and refresh the application to retain fans interest. We dont experience this problem because the applications we have are so feature rich with content. On average, we receive between 12 to 15 videos and 150 photographs from our leagues daily,
Your new focus on mobile and social dovetails well with a larger megatrend: Social TV and the extension social media into how we interact around television. Please elaborate on your roadmap and objectives.
Part of this is linked to our in-match
statistics. Lets say the game is Liverpool versus Manchester United, and the score is 1-1. If a fan wanted to go back into the archive to find the last time it was a tie, they can do this by hitting on a button to find the answer. This is information that they can then share with friends and discuss. We also give the paying user of our product an image of a game that shows a similar situation. So, lets say there is a penalty shot. We will deliver an image of where Wayne Rooney or Steven Gerrard have placed the shot through their last eight penalties. We give our users the information and enable them to share that information with their friends and other fans. To make this work were pulling in and integrating into the major social networks including Twitter and Facebook. This makes it possible for users to share information with all their friends even the ones that dont have our Sports Locker application. Instead, they can connect and share via Twitter.
to TV networks about precisely this opportunity. The idea is to give the networks the ability to take control of the consumer experience on the handset through our app during half-time, so they can start a discussion with fans directly about the game. This way the TV execs at SuperSports in South Africa can say, Wayne Rooney was off sides when he scored that goal. Back in the studio, they can take excerpts from the fan comments that pour in, and broadcast them. After all, people everywhere want that 15 minutes of fame. If fans see their name on a ticker scrolling across the bottom of the screen with their message or their views, then they are more inclined to pay attention, and watch the advertisers that are sandwiched in the conversation That is a first step that also paves the way for brands to eventually place relevant and meaningful adverting onto our applications. I think thats compelling for a fast-food chain like Dominoes, for example. When I watch football, if Ive got friends around, do I order pizza? Yes. Do I drink beer? Yes. Thus, the integration with the brands and the advert in the app makes sense because football clubs are generally sponsored by this mix of brands. You can also imagine an offer that includes a discount on the pizza you order at

And this allows your content to go viral?
Yes. Someone tweets the information and then someone answers back great information and app, where did you get it from? That person answers that its an app called Sports Locker and here is how you can download it. Its great because its viral and its gaining another consumer for us, so the cost of acquisition is quite cheap. Getting back to your point about Social TV, in countries such as Africa were talking

their beer and would be interested in buying some when he goes to watch Chelsea, or that he is looking for a nearby pub that sells his favorite beer. Our work with the advertising agency I mentioned lays the groundwork for this, taking brand sponsorship and their support of the sport to the next level. Its about giving brands the ability to know they have 60 million people around the world who enjoy their products and the opportunity to engage with each of those 60 million people, as opposed to just spending a huge amount of money to reach a mass-market audience of nameless, faceless people. So, the value is not just in a GBP7.50 CPM. The value for the brands and the consumers is the connection and the opportunity to engage.

You enable this engagement advertising already. Who are your partners, and how is it done?
Were working with one of the leading advertising agencies worldwide. Together we are building the social network I discussed. Its a great fit because they work with high profile brands and want to open up the opportunities to the Emirates, Etihad, O2, and all the brands that sponsor sport and events. Mobile is not just about engagement; it also allows brands to measure their effectiveness. Take Singha Beer, which sponsors Chelsea football club. Granted Singha Beer will know how many pints of beer are sold. But they dont know Fred Smith, who lives in Fulham, loves
You mention CRM and we have interviewed companies and organizations for the Netsize Guide that are focused on mobile loyalty, mobile CRM and all the ways to grow the lifetime value of the customer. What are you seeing? Is this the end-game?
I would support exactly what youre being told. A football club will tell you they have around 200 million fans around the world. Ask them to supply names and details, and they cant. Atlas adds value to their model because we have state-of-the-art CRM platforms that allow us to provide our partners and clients insights into every handset that buys content from the service. We could
give Samsung, a sponsor of Chelsea, what we acquire from 10 million handsets and users no matter if they are Nokia users, HTC users or iPhone users. What that does is extend the reach of the football clubs and their sponsors. We engage with consumers on a daily basis, a relationship that allows us to build up a detailed profile. And we can become quite scientific about our calculations based on the data to the extent of that we can predict how much users are likely to spend over a period of a month. Based on this, we can help our customers set the prices and offers for regions and user segments accordingly. Thats where all football clubs traditionally fail. They simply
dont have the CRM in place to understand the buying consumption of their consumers. Our systems help them identify where to spend the money and effort. We can also advise then when and how they need to target specific user segments, rather than just spend their marketing budget putting up a billboard up in Cape Town Airport with Manchester United plastered all over it. We have a firm belief that the true value of a company, including ours, is in the CRM. If Atlas was ever to be acquired, it would more than likely be by a company that wanted to reach fans and valued our ability to market to those fans based on what we know about them.

Consumers want a better world, not just better widgets. Simon MainwaringCL, branding consultant, bestselling author and blogger
The emergence of empowered consumers, the advance of mobile devices and the abundance of applications designed to give us more of a say in how we create, access and experience all things digital have transformed our daily lives. However, its the addictiveness, pervasiveness and sheer dominance of mobile devices that has allow them to take a center role in our routine. Everything we can do on the web with our PCs we can also do on our mobile phones. Whats more, the phenomenal popularity of location-based services, social networks and a host of schemes that us to capture, create and access content on-the-move pave the way for a new phase of convergence that goes beyond just bringing together disparate platforms and devices. This new level of convergence unifies our life experiences as well as the content and communications that give it substance into one universal, ubiquitous and meaningful mass media. This is the view of Tomi Ahonen, independent consultant, mobile luminary and author of the milestone book, Mobile as 7th of the Mass Media : Cellphone, Cameraphone, iPhone, SmartphoneCL. In this context Ahonen refers to mobile as the 7th of the mass media, following print from the 1500s, recording from the 1900s, cinema from the 1910s, radio from the 1920s TV from the 1950s and Internet from the 1990s. He further concludes that all forms of content will ultimately converge around the cellphone. Mobile is already very versatile as a media channel if we consider that it is digital, multimedia-capable, personal and interactive. However, David CushmanCL, social media strategist and renowned blogger, believes mobile is a powerful mass media and much more. His thought-provoking views, which take Ahonens arguments a giant step further, suggest that Internet and mobile the sixth and seventh mass media themselves converge in the creation of the 8th mass media: Us.

As Cushman sees it, the Internet and mobile are simply tools that enable people to create and control all aspects of their digital experiences. We are the eighth mass media. We are the distribution, the content, the medium and the message carried with it. We are the connections. We are also how the connections are made. Put another way, digital convergence is the direction of the future. But we, the people, will decide its course. We are a mass media, and by harnessing the Internet and mobile via our connected devices, we have gained infinitely more control over how we live our lives. Personal assistance The last chapter, Transaction, underlines our increasing reliance on mobile devices at every stage of the purchase funnel. From researching products to conducting transactions, we reach for our mobile devices to help us make the right decisions. Whats more, significant progress in search, personalization and Artificial Intelligence (AI) over the last 12 months allows us to endow our mobile phones with even more intelligence and an innate ability to know what is best for us. Its no coincidence the iPhone 4S announcement highlighted how Siri the technology Apple cleverly acquired last year plays in Apples bigger ambitions to deliver us suggestions, recommendations and assistance on our mobile devices. Apples Siri is marketed as the smart helper that gets things done. According to Apple, Siri helps users make calls, send text messages or email, schedule meetings and reminders, make notes, search the Internet, find local businesses, and get directions. Consumers can also get answers, find facts and even perform complex calculations. All they have to do is ask. We will remember 2011 as the year we began to think of our personal devices (and apps) as our own personal assistants. The seismic shift in our attitudes about mobile has also sparked industry-watchers and analysts to correctly observe that virtual assistants is the next battleground in the smartphone wars. Mobile without limits Clearly, the advance of smartphones is changing how we manage our digital lives. However, on a more basic level, these devices are also transforming long-established business models around the content, communications and connectivity that make up the fabric of our digital existence. Case in point: mobile portals. There was a time when operator mobile portals were the main destination for mobile users looking to download content for their handsets. That was before smartphones equipped with PC-like browsers changed the rules.
51
TRANSFORMATION
As a result, mobile portals have gone from being important gateways to the mobile Web to being an insignificant sideshow we pass on our journey to explore the mobile Web. In addition, app stores, advertisers and a host of other players have inserted themselves in the emerging App Economy, exercising tremendous influence over distribution, monetization and discovery. What does the future hold for mobile operators? Its a tough one to call. Research firm Informa Telecoms & MediaCL suggests the future may lie in changing the focus of portals to offer services, not content or apps. Renewed emphasis on the individual would help transform portals into places where consumers can view and sign up to operators wider range of services and engage in self-care activities, such as check their balance/consumption, top up their credit or change subscription plan. Thus, a subscriber-centric approach rather than a content-centric model would allow operators to tailor services to the individual needs of their customers and boost customer loyalty. Messaging unleashed While SMS traffic continues to grow, the revenue generated by mobile operators has declined significantly. What has changed? In a word: everything. The spread of affordable bundles, the penetration of IP-based applications and the entrance of overthe-top (OTT) providers have transformed messaging services and the value chain that enables them. The outcome: a slew of applications that enable one-to-many messaging. In practice these allow users to create or add groups, and send messages out to those who join the group. Thus, one-to-many broadcast models are springing up and entire communities are forming around messaging using these applications. In an interview with Netsize Pamela Clark-Dickson, Senior Analyst, Mobile Content & Applications, Informa Telecoms & Media, identified two key drivers behind this trend. The first is the move to open operating systems for mobile devices, making it possible for developers to create applications for Android-based devices, for example. The second driver is the increasing availability of ubiquitous high-speed mobile data networks and Wi-Fi. This presents an opportunity for start-up companies to develop and distribute applications that enable over-the-top services. These include messaging services that might be transported over data channels as opposed to being transported end-to-end via traditional messaging bearers, Clark-Dickson observes. Costs savings can be achieved by transporting messages over data channels for some portion of the journey between sender and recipient.

Content Cloud Battle Technological innovation has moved music from eighttracks to MP3 players; movies from VCRs to DVRs; TV shows from living room sets to PCs, tablets and smartphones; and photos from paper to digital. Increased competition has spurred the growth of new distribution models and outlets iTunes, Spotify, Netflix, RedBox, Hulu and YouTube to name a few. At the other end of the spectrum, the advent of Internetdriven social networking has played a pivotal role in revolutionizing the way people interact and communicate. The result is thousands of sites through which billions of people connect to socialize, share photos and videos, and exchange ideas. Delivering todays fully connected lifestyle is a challenge. It requires the interplay of various components, including: a digital vault (DV) to house all user content in the cloud, social communities, premium content, business enablers, gateways, core and access networks, and connected devices. These components must also work together, communicating through application programming interfaces (APIs), to enable new forms of entertainment and a lifetime of digital content experiences. Traditionally, mobile operators have answered our requirement for an always-on digital lifestyle with services to help us store and manage our lifes content. But now they face serious competition as device makers, platform providers and Web giants expand their offers in a battle to win and own the users digital content experience.
A turning point came this year when Apple officially announced its move into content cloud services with iCloud. The service, baked into its apps and devices, was developed to keep content in sync and remember important data, such as device settings, home screen layouts, and text messages, and make that information available if users upgrade or replace their iPhone or iPad. The news was read as an answer to offers from top rivals Amazon and Google. Amazon launched Amazon Cloud Drive, a web storage application, in March to provide users with storage space for their digital music content. Once the music is stored in Amazon Cloud Drive, a user can choose to download it to an Android device using the Amazon MP3 application, or download it to the computer using the Amazon MP3 Downloader. Googles offer, Music Beta by Google, is a similar approach that allows users to access content and sync it to the cloud. But, more importantly, songs can also be cached locally. Does the entry of the BIG-3 mean the race is run or just starting? Steve French, VP Global Marketing at NewBay, a cloud software platform provider, believes its the latter. In his view, the winners circle will only include the companies that understand and address what users really want in a digital content service: simple and easy access to their media and networks anywhere, anytime. Moving forward, these services cannot live in silos, but must be truly interconnected operating as an extension of ourselves supporting, protecting, connecting and satisfying our digital needs.

A prime example is Pinger. Its TextFree messaging application, available in the U.S. only, enables mobile users with Android and Apple devices to send free SMS and MMS to both TextFree and non-TextFree users, and to make free on-net calls. Pinger generates business-to-business revenues from TextFree by selling advertising and space on the companys offer wall to brands and other application developers. It generates business-to-consumer revenues by selling add-on packages of voice minutes (similar to SkypeOut) and an advertising-free annual subscription. Pinger claims to have about 2 million active users a day and about 4 million active users a month, who exchange about 1 billion text messages a month. Plans are to expand the service to Europe by end-2011.
But Pinger is just one company gaining traction in the free-messaging marketplace. Gogii, with its TextPlus service, pursues a similar business model. But there are some notable differences: TextPlus focuses on group messaging and communities of users, while Pinger has only recently added group-messaging capabilities to TextFree. Other providers of IP-based messaging applications include: WhatsApp, Kik, Nimbuzz and KakaoTalk.

Meantime, Clark-Dickson notes that Apples recent announcement of iMessage, which will be a key feature of its iCloud digital storage and synchronization service, has provoked mild hysteria about the future of SMS as a source of revenues for mobile operators. iMessage is a service that will enable users of devices based on the iOS 5 operating system the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to send unlimited messages over mobile data networks or Wi-Fi. It will also enable iOS-device users to aggregate and synchronize images, videos, contacts and location information, and to access features such as group messaging. This also makes Apple the second handset vendor after BlackBerry to launch an application enables mobile users to send free, IP-based messages to other users of the same messaging application, though users will still need a mobile data plan to access the service.
Vision trumps volume How might messaging applications like WhatsApp, and now iMessage, impact mobile operators hold on SMS traffic and revenues? The figures are sketchy, however the future Informa Telecoms & Media predicts is cloudy. According to Informa reports, KPN Netherlands admitted in April 2011 that IP-based messaging applications, especially WhatsApp, had cannibalized SMS and voice revenues generated by its youth and early-adopter demographic. Whats more, T-Mobile Netherlands stated in May that WhatsApp penetration among their users had reached 70 percent penetration on smartphones within three months. Given the high penetration of IP-based messaging applications among early adopters, and the significant penetration of services like BlackBerry Messenger, we appear to be witnessing the beginning of the end for SMS as a significant source of revenues for mobile operators, at least in developed markets. Or are we? Informas Clark-Dickson reminds us these messaging applications target the smartphone user segment, not all mobile users. Since smartphone penetration in several regions in the world is still below 50 percent, SMS is still going to be the fallback messaging bearer simply because the penetration of SMS is universal. As we noted in the last chapter, (Transaction, page page 72) recent mega-trends data compiled by venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB)CL pegs the number of smartphone users worldwide at 836 million, compared to a whopping 5.6 billion feature phone users. For now, the lower level of global smartphone penetration will likely limit the advance and use of IP-based messaging services on a global scale. While it is true that mobile operators SMS traffic growth has slowed, this is to be expected in mature markets. Granted, alternative messaging services are gaining traction. But SMS is also increasing. In fact, mobile operators in both developed and developing marketing continue to experience year-on-year traffic growth in excess of 20 percent, according to Informa, meaning that total SMS traffic continues to increase. Where else should mobile operators focus their efforts? Clark-Dickson is bullish about the opportunities around innovative approaches that make it easier for mobile subscribers to use SMS and MMS in new and different ways. An example is United Arab Emirates mobile operator Du. It has launched an online portal that is accessible via mobile, which also includes a storage offering for photos and videos. A particularly ambitious service comes from mobile operator O2 in the U.K. It has enabled its mobile subscribers to share photos on Twitter using their MMS-capable device. The functionality has been enabled through Telefnica O2s BlueVia developer platform, and specifically the BlueVia MMS API. As a result, O2 UK customers will be able to associate their mobile number with their Twitter account on the Twitter website.

They will then be able to share photos on Twitter by sending an MMS to the short code 86444, for which they will be charged standard MMS rates. There is a huge requirement to have the integration of communications, to aggregate all the channels by which you communicate, and by which people communicate with you, Clark-Dickson explains. New world(s) Ironically, the idea of bringing together all our communications channels is hardly new. The concept of a one-stop access to everything dates back to the late 1990s, when Unified Communications (UC) was the popular buzzword. However, key factors such as open operating systems, wireless broadband, cloud computing and our own desire to have what we want the way we want it were not yet aligned to make the vision of truly unified access possible. A decade later, and new services and scenarios abound to transform long-established business models around content, communications and connectivity. As a result, we are more empowered to lead truly digital lives. But there is also more confusion about the value chain that will deliver us these capabilities moving forward. What will distinguish the leaders from the also-rans? While scale continues to be important for over-the-top players such as Google, Apple and Amazon, winning in a digital world requires much more than market position. It demands flexibility, agility and a keen focus on the customer. Hence, the winners circle will most definitely include those companies that are adroit at extracting customer insight and at converting that insight into action to give the people what they want the way they want it. But first these companies must earn our trust. Its a virtuous cycle. As Seth GodinCL, groundbreaking marketer and author of Permission Marketing, points out: Trust comes from frequent interactions and grows as we become more familiar and comfortable. Gain peoples trust and companies have access to the information (demographics, preferences, interests) that allows them to better serve their customers. Serve customers better, and they will volunteer more information that allows companies to do an even better job. However, trust is a contract without the small print. Social networking giant Facebook found out the hard way. In 2010 Facebook reneged on its privacy promises and made much of peoples profile information public by default. This prompted privacy and consumer protection organizations in the U.S. to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, charging that Facebook had engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices in violation of consumer protection law. The upshot: Facebooks handling of privacy issues damaged its reputation and effectively broke our trust, an asset it is not likely to regain so quickly.
56
TRANSFORMATION
In contrast, mobile operators follow a modus operandi that brings obvious advantages. Because mobile operators own the customer relationship, for example, their databases are chock-full of information that allows them to connect the dots in our digital bread crumb trail (browsing behavior, personal preferences, purchasing patterns). But rather than be concerned about a potential loss of privacy, we look forward to the convenience and quality experience we can enjoy when content, services and other digital stuff is delivered in sync with our digital lives and lifestyles. In an era where the consumer is in control companies must be transparent about what they offer, and what they expect in return. Companies must also be up front about the players and partners that play in their wider business ecosystem. Trust, to borrow from Godin, is nontransferable and can be cancelled at any time. Thus, companies that have our trust should guard it with everything they have because it is at the core of every sustainable business model. Companies that lack this asset should brace themselves for a rocky ride. As we observed in this chapter, the services that will truly transform our digital lives must be interconnected and converged, operating as an extension of ourselves with a singular aim to support, protect, connect and satisfy our digital needs. To allow these services to play such a pivotal role in our lives we must first trust the companies that deliver them to understand our requirements and act in our best interests. The next chapter will explore the role of trust, and how growing trust, grows responsibility and ultimately profits.

IN SUMMARY:
Mobile is transforming long-established business models around the content, communications and connectivity that make up the fabric of our digital existence. And it doesnt stop there. Recent advances in personalization and Artificial Intelligence (AI) allow us to increasingly rely on our mobile devices (turned smart helpers) to make our daily decisions. The spread of affordable bundles, the penetration of IP-based applications and the entrance of over-the-top (OTT) providers have transformed messaging services and the value chain that enables them. Expect an increase in services, players and competition as one-to-many broadcast models flourish. The consumer is in control. Winning is about understanding and addressing what people really want in a digital content service (simple and easy access to their media and networks anywhere, anytime, for example). However, the capabilities required to support, protect, connect and satisfy our digital needs are not linked to technology prowess. The ability to truly transform our digital lives and experiences belongs to the companies that can earn and keep our trust.

Anytime, anywhere and any device. Digital Life Management services began with a sharp focus on mobile and Web solutions to help us protect, organize, and share our content. Fast forward, and back-up and synchronization services are just part of the equation. Consumers also require the ability to manage their conversations with friends, families and social networks. Regardless of mobile network or mobile device, consumers want the freedom and flexibility to interact with their preferred Web communities via MMS, mobile e-mail and mobile instant messaging. Additionally, applications that support person-to-person messaging, application-to-person messaging, and person-toapplication messaging are also in demand. Pamela Clark-Dickson discusses the competitive landscape and the innovative models taking messaging and sharing to a new level.
Apple with iMessage has become the second handset vendor, after BlackBerry, to launch an application enabling mobile users to send free, IP-based messages to other users of the same messaging application. What is the wider significance of this announcement and the potential impact on business models?
Apple has managed to create this overwhelming interest in applications, and I think this has very much acted as a catalyst for the heightened interest in messaging applications that we are seeing this year. For example, according to Informa Telecoms & Media, more than 130 app stores have been launched worldwide, by companies including mobile operators, device manufacturers, application developers and independent providers. So, the whole increase in appetite for apps has, in turn, led to the rise

of mobile-specific instant-messaging applications. These include WhatsApp, Kik, and Kakao Talk in South Korea. These instant messaging applications are developed specifically for the mobile phone, and theyre not enabling subscribers to access Yahoo! Messenger or Windows 5 Live Messenger, for example. Instead, these new mobile-instant-messaging providers are independent developers, creating their own applications which are turning out to be quite popular because these applications are available across different device operating platforms. This is very different from a BlackBerry-centric application like BlackBerry Messenger, or an Applecentric application like iMessage. So, the cross-platform availability is one key advantage for these applications. Another advantage and what these providers are building on is the cost. The developers of these applications are saying to users: Dont send an SMS, just use our application you will be able to use messaging for free. Although,
Whats the impact of models? Were starting to see the rise of applications that enable one-to-many messaging. In practice these allow users to create or add groups, and send messages out to those who join the group. As a result, we have one-to-many broadcast models springing up where communities are forming around messaging using these applications. These applications also tend to make use of SMS, aiming to make it easier for people to use SMS for group messaging. Mobile-specific instant messaging applications and group messaging applications are not the only areas in which we are seeing innovation. There are also applications gaining traction which make it easier for mobile subscribers to use SMS and MMS in new and different ways. Examples of this come from O2 UK and its MMS Twitter updates, TigerText and its message recall/delete application for SMS, Doot and its locationbased personal messaging alerts application/service as well as a number of SMS auto-reply/scheduling applications we see on the market. However, I would like to stress that these applications target the smartphone user segment, not all

mobile users. Remember, smartphone penetration in several regions in the world is still below 50 percent. So, SMS is still going to be the fallback messaging bearer simply because the penetration of SMS is universal.
We have discussed messaging, what are you seeing in relation to sharing content using mobile? Is there also innovation and disruption from providers and applications providers?
advertising and by offering space on its offer wall to brands and other application developers. In addition, the company sells add-on packages of voice minutes and an advertising-free annual subscription. More recently, Pinger has partnered with Tapjoy to enable its offer wall. Essentially TextFree users can earn free voice minutes by downloading specific applications from the offer wall. Because these messaging applications are now so powerful it makes it much easier to share content, such as an image or a video or a voice message, within the message, or to share a link to some content within the message. At the end of the day, its about bringing together all the ways people can access content and putting it into the one application so people dont have to use several different applications in order to be able to access or share information or content with their buddies.
Some of the group messaging providers in the U.S. are exploring different ways that they can generate revenue. Again, this comes back to the sharing of content, and theyre looking at virtual gifts, for example. Several players are leaving their mark on the competitive landscape. Gogii, the makers of the TextPlus group messaging application, enables its users to send and receive SMS and MMS for free. It generates revenues via advertising and sponsorship, annual subscriptions (without advertising), premium phone numbers, and from the sale of digital content for use with the application, namely, sound packs. Another company operating in this space is Pinger, which has developed a calling and a messaging application called TextFree that enables users of iOS-based devices primarily iPods to send free SMS and MMS to both TextFree and non-TextFree users. Pinger generates revenues from TextFree by selling banner

As you point out, all of this happens via your messaging client on the device, or its all integrated into the messaging client on the device. Where do the social networks come into play?
Integration with social networks is also becoming another key feature of these messaging applications, allowing users to connect to Facebook to post or view status updates from within these applications, connect to Twitter to tweet. For example, Goggi has just added Facebook connectivity to its TextPlus application.
I think were going to see a lot more integration like this. People basically want to be able to have the one application that lets them do everything: message, connect share, tweet, post the works. Still, I expect users arent above still using a separate application, if it provides them with a benefit like free messaging.
Our requirement for convenience and unified access brings me to the Cloud and cloud computing. Theres a lot of hype about the technology, but there is also significant take-up....
devices have and then have that synchronized with your mobile device. An example is e-mail. Think about the way some consumers use e-mail on their mobile devices. Consumers might use mobile e-mail to check their e-mail and to manage their inbox, but many dont use mobile e-mail to actually view or reply to their emails. The Cloud supports this and is therefore attractive to a significant segment of consumers. The next step is to build more business models around the Cloud. After all, once mobile operators have the infrastructure in place to be able to offer cloud based services, its not just the access to services that they will be able to provide. The Cloud should hopefully also enable them to offer features, such as security, and generate more traffic, which indirectly helps them to generate more revenue.

Well, I think that it is certainly attractive for mobile users to be able to have access to all of their content, all of their messages, in The Cloud. It makes it easier for them to manage and to access their all social interactions in one place. Is that a business driver? It certainly becomes something that mobile operators can charge for because theyre providing the storage and an extra level of value to mobile users. Enabling the mobile cloud is a valueadd because it lays the groundwork for a truly unified communications mechanism. By that I mean users can access the Cloud via both their mobile devices and their PCs as well as number of other connected devices. In my view, there is tremendous value in being able to do the fiddly things tasks that require a QWERTY keyboard and a larger screen than most mobile
Much of this reminds me of the promise of unified communications and the discussion weve had since the late 1990s around how to bring together communication services such as instant messaging and chat with voice, e-mail and text. Where is the industry now and where are the growth opportunities?
There is a huge requirement to have the integration of communications, to aggregate all the channels by which you communicate, and by which people communicate with you. As you said, its not necessarily a new imperative.
The industry has been talking about unified communications for a long time now. But I think that on the mobile at least we are moving closer towards enabling unified communications. Consider applications like Nimbuzz, Palringo, eBuddy and Miyowas InTouch. All of these applications enable the aggregation of multiple Internet-based instant messaging communities, social networks and social media sites. And they make this capability accessible via mobile and PCs. So, from the one client on your mobile device, or your PC, you can sign in to the IM communities, social networks and social media sites where you are a member. Mobile operators are also active in this space. United Arab Emirates operator Du has launched an online portal that is accessible via mobile, which also includes the Vault storage offering for photos and videos. And lets not forget O2s Bluebook, which was one of the first services in this space. On the handset manufacturer side, we have Apples forthcoming iCloud and Nokias Ovi - to name a few.
of applications and services, or aligning themselves with partners. Telefnica, for example, is determined not to be a dumb pipe. Its working on the BlueVia initiative, making it easier for partners to work with them and providing their partners with business models that help both the operator and the developer to make money from the various new services that are developed and deployed. Telefnica has obviously decided that it needed to take the initiative on this. Whatever progress is happening with initiatives like One API is obviously not happening quickly enough, and the same goes for the Wholesale Application Community (WAC).

TRANSFORMATION
And the implications?
I think players like Telefnica have concluded these initiatives are not progressing quickly enough. And they need to be a lot faster if operators are going to compete successfully against the OTT [over-the-top] providers like WhatsApp, for example. I sense that operators like T-Mobile and Telefnica are a little bit frustrated with the slow rate at which things have progressed. Theyre not ruling out being part of this multi-operator pan-network ecosystem. Instead, they are doing things in tandem with it and hoping that if the multi-operator initiatives do succeed they can then hopefully feed back into those initiatives. At the end of the day, some of the operators,
As you point out, the space is exciting and crowding. Where are the mobile operators now, and moving forward?
I think it depends on the individual operator. If they want to become more involved, if they want to become more than just a transport network for communications, then they have to start investing in the development

Yes, there are a few players that truly stand out. One is Facebook, which wants to be everywhere in mobile and is making significant investment to ensure that happens. Facebook has worked with Vodafone in India to launch the 555 Blue phone in that country, which is being marketed as the Facebook Phone. Facebook also has the Facebook Zero mobile data initiative, and in August it announced Facebook Messenger, its standalone messaging application. And, in October, Facebook released its long-awaited Facebook Platform on mobile, which brings all of the social channels to mobile apps and websites. Facebook has also cleverly focused on enabling Facebook via USSD and SMS in emerging markets. This is smart if you look at Facebooks user numbers. Sites such as Socialbakers reveal Facebook has quite a high user base in emerging markets such as India, which is one of Facebooks top five markets globally. Twitter is an interesting one. At Mobile World Congress the company said its whole DNA is mobile and they mean it. Theyre enabling their service via SMS in several countries, and they have agreements with about 200 operators worldwide.

Mobile is now more than mainstream. We are moving toward a time where people in all markets will interact with the Web more frequently through connected devices phones, tablets, televisions, consoles and beyond than through personal computers. IDC anticipates the number of users accessing the Internet using mobile devices to double, from 600 million in 2010 to 1.2 billion in 2014. Simultaneously, we are seeing that the traditional three screens concept (phone, personal computer, television) is becoming outdated as the tablet establishes itself as an equally important fourth screen. In fact, a November 2010 report by IDG states that tablet sales will cannibalize personal computer sales at a rate of 33 percent to 33 percent in 2011.

As people increasingly traverse these four screens, digital media, content, and communication services will coalesce in compelling new ways for consumers and advertisers alike. For example, Yahoo! is rethinking mobile experiences and how content can act as a companion as people increasing co-browse across connected devices. This consumer behavior is evident in a recent McKinsey report looking at iPad consumer usage. It points out 62 percent of iPad users dont take their iPad out of their homes and actually use it as a co-browsing device while watching TV or doing other things. In the future we will see a convergence of devices as their respective roles begin to blur and overlap. Why not use a tablet or mobile phone to control the TV and have content you can flick from device to device? Yahoo! is working to make device interactivity a reality, enabling tablets, mobile phones, and TVs to sync and interact in new and exciting ways.
model where new developments are being built first for the tablet, then for mobile phones and the PC.
In view of this continuing convergence of devices and service, what are the opportunities in mobile?
Utilization of cutting edge technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript represent a continued and growing opportunity to offer enhanced, refined, and interactive interfaces, and content that ensures each mobile platform and infrastructure is contextually compelling and easy to use. eMarketer states that the time spent on mobile per day among U.S. adults increased from 32 minutes in 2008 to 50 minutes in 2010, a 56 percent increase in 2 years. In contrast, time spent on newspapers and magazines declined from 63 minutes in 2008 to 50 minutes in 2010. This is a clear opportunity for Yahoo! to take its core strengths in content and personalization at mass scale, and re-imagine them into a new kind of Yahoo! experience, which we are spearheading through Livestand from Yahoo!. Livestand will offer effortless content personalization in a rich and immersive experience, based on an individuals interests, time of day, and location.

What is the role of advertising in the mobile-social space and how has this evolved? We see that several players continue to grapple with this, which leads us to questions whether social networks and the eyeballs they attract can truly be monetized. What approach is required?

The result is an increasing shift away from traditional, static advertising formats toward the delivery of highly personalized, meaningful and relevant advertising experiences. Devices are

Yahoo! is dedicated to connecting people to what matters most to them and providing a personalized content experience that is seamless across all Connected Devices. Yahoo! reaches over 680 Million users, more than half of the internet population. We are able to leverage this scale to ensure we deliver the most timely, relevant and engaging content experience for each and every user. Yahoo!s leadership in science and scale has been responsible for creating the engine that powers this level of personalization. CORE (content optimization and relevance engine) is a big part of this. It is a suite of technologies developed in Yahoo!

The secret behind its success is a perfect matchmaking of scientific fact and human insight and expertise. Put simply, it blends editorial voice and data-driven ranking based on content algorithms to find a sweet spot that optimizes both real time click-through rates while driving longer-term engagement.
Research shows that people increasingly want access to digital content in real time as well as when theyre offline. To help satisfy that need, Yahoo! is re-defining the asynchronous and synchronous digital content and communication experiences to let people connect with relevant content on their own terms, at their preferred time and location, and through any device. Gone are the days of content being pushed at us, through one TV channel or a daily newspaper - consumers have increasing control over how, when and what they consume. With an over saturation of choice now online, publishers are having to work even harder to provide something compelling and relevant to engage the consumer. With the onset of the tablet, the roles of connected devices are also beginning to blur. As I have already mentioned, 62 percent of tablet devices do not leave the living room. Thus, smartphones and tablet devices are fast becoming the device people prefer over PCs or laptops when accessing the Web at home and thats when it comes to accessing the Web. Consumers are also regularly multitasking and interacting with content and people across devices at any one time. A recent US Yahoo! survey showed that 57 percent of us often multitask while watching TV for example. We are looking to different devices to compliment experiences with the richness and interactivity of the Web.

As mobile becomes more integrated in our lives, an increasing number of security concerns move to the forefront. While there are some risks to face, there are also vast opportunities opening up around new life-enhancing services designed from the ground up to provide us access to blockbuster movies, premium content and a myriad of mobile payment mechanisms. What is driving this new breed of mobility services? In a word: us. We are using our devices, which are capable of downloading a huge variety of applications from the Internet, to do more than ever before. As we show in the Transaction and Transformation chapters, mobile has become our constant companion, allowing us to research purchases, make transactions and manage the minute details of our daily (and digital) existence. Research firm Gartner reports smartphones are gaining serious traction, with penetration nearly doubling since 2010. It estimates sales of mobile devices in the second quarter of 2011 grew 16.5 percent year-on-yearCL. Moreover, smartphone sales grew 74 percent year-on-year and accounted for 25 percent of overall sales in the second quarter of 2011, up from 17 percent in the second quarter of 2010. Even though smartphone users account for less than one-sixth (835 million) of total mobile users (5.6 billion), analysts remain bullish about the rapid uptake of smartphones. According to Morgan Stanley, smartphones have already surpassed feature phone shipments in the U.S. (as of Q1 2011) and Western Europe (as of Q2 2010). Security needs But there is a trade-off. While mobile is clearly driving new and innovative business models, our devices are also increasingly vulnerable to the threat of malicious code and malevolent applications. Smartphones, because they are essentially mobile computers based on software platforms, are bringing up a special concern.

increase in Android malwareCL. But its not just Android users who need to worry. The study warned that all devices we use to download apps are at heightened risk of attack. Specifically, the study found that both enterprise and consumer mobile devices are exposed to an increasing number of highly targeted Wi-Fi attacks that target email and social networking information. Another security risk is text messaging. Some 17 percent of all reported infections came from SMS Trojans, which sent texts to premium rate numbers, incurring major charges to the unsuspecting users. These findings reflect a perfect storm of users who are either uneducated on or disinterested in security, downloading readily available applications from unknown and unvetted sources in the complete absence of mobile device security solutions, Dan Hoffman, chief mobile security evangelist at Juniper Networks, said in a statement. Related research from Lookout Mobile SecurityCL estimates three in ten Android owners encounter a Web-based threat on their device each year. Specifically, Android users were 2.5 times more likely to encounter malware in June 2011 than they were just six months earlier. Moreover, an estimated half million to one million Android owners were affected by mobile malware in the first half of 2011. Moving forward, analysts reckon our mobile devices will be exposed to additional security risks. A report published by the Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC), which releases an annual Emerging Cyber Threats ReportCL based on information contributed by a variety of experts, suggests the shift to an all IP mobile network architecture and the growing adoption of mobile VoIP will open cellular infrastructures up to the same threats that have plagued other network architectures. Payments on the rise Clearly, the explosion in mobile banking and commerce services delivers users greater convenience and flexibility in how they make purchases and conduct financial transactions.

The report, which outlines the main security issues for smartphone and tablet users, stresses the threats to mobile phone users from malware, spyware, spam and unauthorized access are relatively small today, but bound to increase.
Mobile money milestones Indeed, a review of mobile banking and commerce developments over the last 12 months confirms significant growth in both services and usage. Uganda MTN Uganda reports significant growth in its mobile money service, recording over UGX500 billion (US$200 million) in transfers in August 2011 alone. MTN Mobile Money was launched in 1Q2009 and has introduced financial services to millions of Ugandans who lack formal banking services. Zimbabwe Leading mobile operator NetOne announces it will deploy Gemaltos Mobile Money Transfer solution to provide underbanked access to secure banking services. The offer, marketed as the OneWallet service, works on all handsets, enabling consumers to make peer-to-peer money transfers, pay every-day bills and top up their prepaid phone cards. United States Verizon Wireless and credit card company American Express have signed a new mobile payments deal to integrate the Serve mobile payments system into some Verizon devices. Serve uses the phones mobile number as the authentication tool when subscribers make payments
from their mobile phones. India Finnish handset manufacturer Nokia has formed a separate company called Nokia Mobile Payments to roll out a mobile money service across India. Its mobile payment services have been successfully piloted in several cities including Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Nasik and Pune. Kenya Orange Kenya has introduced two new access channels to its mobile money service. Customers will be able to access the Orange Money service both via Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and through a Java download application. Orange Money was launched in November 2010 in partnership with Equity Bank to provide mobile money transfer and banking services. Philippines Mobile operator Smart Communications has partnered with BICS to enable a remittance corridor between Belgium, Qatar, the U.K., and the Philippines. The corridor will enable mobile subscribers to send money to the mobile phones of relatives and friends in the Philippines, who are users of Smarts Smart Money mobile wallet, via BICS HomeSend global remittance hub.

Delivering enhanced security Connect the dots, and the widespread adoption of new services enabling transfers, transactions and payments creates a requirement for stronger security. Another driver is the emergence of entertainment services that are perfectly matched with our new device capabilities, supporting HD video playback and streaming, mobile TV broadcast reception and console-quality 3D games. All this functionality consequently increases the need for security solutions around content management, content protection and Digital Rights Management (DRM). Several organizations and initiatives, including The Open Mobile Terminal Platform, the Trusted Computing group, and the Open Mobile Alliance, have been formed to address security concerns.
Content integrity Netflix, which has a heritage of streaming to PCs, Macs, game consoles, Internet-connected TVs, iPhone and iPad, and many set-top-boxes, recognized early on the need to bring its content service to the broader mobile market. But delivering high-definition content to smartphones was not just a technology issue. Netflix would also have to satisfy film and TV studio demands for platform security and content protection. In search of a high-security approach to ensure the integrity of digital content, Netflix found a semiconductor partner in Texas Instruments, a leader in semiconductor innovations and a member of GlobalPlatform, a not-forprofit association that identifies, develops and publishes specifications to facilitate the secure and interoperable deployment and management of multiple embedded applications on secure chip technology. In July Texas Instruments became the first partner to achieve the Netflix Silicon Reference Implementation (SRI) certification
for the Netflix application on Android smartphones, with chipsets integrating the Trusted Foundations security solution from Trusted Logic. This marks the first time Netflix has certified its high-definition 1080p streaming application with end-to-end protection on a mobile device. It also ensures that Netflix members everywhere Netflix is available can watch TV shows and movies on their Android devices. Specifically, achieving the coveted certification is an important step towards ensuring a balance of performance, security and power efficiency as Netflix experiences migrate to the mobile world, Fred Cohen, director of the OMAP User Experience team within Texas Instruments, said in a statement. Our OMAP processors deliver rich, life-like experiences on mobile devices, while our M-Shield technology stands as the guard dog, protecting customer, content provider and consumer assets. Its the best of both worlds, driving new growth opportunities for Netflix in the Android marketplace.

Global groundwork However, its GlobalPlatform that has produced the technical specifications that are most widely regarded as the industry standard for building a trusted end-to-end solution. More importantly, GlobalPlatforms approach resolutely addresses the needs of all the key stakeholders, including service providers, mobile operators, application developers, device manufacturers, silicon vendors and platform providers. GlobalPlatform work lays the groundwork for a mass market. To achieve this it identifies, develops and publishes specifications to facilitate the secure and interoperable deployment and management of multiple embedded applications on secure chip technology. Currently, the not-for-profit organization counts 60+ members including American Express, ARM, Gemalto, Giesecke & Devrient, Nokia, Orange, ST Ericsson, Trusted Logic and Texas Instruments, which is a participating member. To offer all stakeholders the best route to meet their security objectives, GlobalPlatform has introduced the concept of a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)CL. The TEE is a secure area that resides in the main processor of the mobile phone and guarantees that sensitive data is stored, processed and protected in a trusted environment. The ability to offer safe execution of authorized security software, known as trusted
applications, enables the TEE to enforce protection, confidentiality, integrity and access rights of the data belonging to those trusted applications. This, in turn, provides end-to-end security. This level of security is essential because, as we showed in the first two chapters, people are using their smartphones and tablets to do much more than ever before. The advance of these devices means that users can download applications from an application store. But that isnt all they can access.
FIGURE 2:
Architecture of the TEE

Obviously, these devices are open, so they are not only open to the valid applications users download. They are also open to attack from malware, similar to the viruses and malevolent applications we know - and are still experiencing - on the PC, Christophe Colas, Marketing Director, Trusted Logic, told Netsize in an interview (page page 101). Its a difficult balance because users have an open device and want to have a lot of applications on it. But they also need to maintain a certain level of security on the device.
76
TRUST
Without the standards and specifications provided by the TEE, application developers, service providers and other ecosystem players would be forced to make investments to provide services such as mobile banking and content streaming for each smartphone platform, such as Apple or Blackberry. Thus, creating standards ultimately leads to greater economies of scale and greater service innovation that benefits everyone. A lack of standards would force this innovation to take a very different path. In an interview with Netsize Gil Bernabeu, Technical Director, GlobalPlatform, suggests innovation be highly proprietary and disadvantage application developers and service providers seeking to address a global market. Entering markets and broadly marketing their applications development is going to be much more costly for them since they will have so many more platforms to develop to, and so many more to maintain, Bernabeu explains. From a global perspective, the standardization around the TEE would create a mass market, and potentially grow services for the next billion, for whom mobile is the only screen.
Confidence and control Clearly, the TEE standardization will enable a large ecosystem of Trusted Application providers, paving the way for new value-added services and offers across sectors including finance, mobile/telecom, government, healthcare, retail and transit. What does high-level security enabled by the TEE provide the end-user? Philippe Galvan, IP Domain Director at Texas Instruments, summed it up in one word: confidence. As Galvan sees it: You need security to make the end-user confident that the information gathered is fully protected, but can also give them opportunities, discounts, and loyalty points they can redeem for benefits. Its also information that shouldnt get into the wrong hands. Therefore, they need to have an infrastructure that gives them what is good and protects them from what is bad. Here the TEE has a role to play because it has the ability to coordinate all these flows of information, and to store and process this information securely inside the TEE. The TEE also provides the foundation upon which we can build (and experience) our truly digital lives. Interestingly, the convergence of devices and services across the three screens (mobile, Internet, TV) has created a new requirement for security solutions. However, it may be the convergence of our networks (home, corporate, personal) that will significantly increase our need to protect information and maintain trust. As Galvan sees it: People are going to require security to both enable and control convergence between the home network, the personal network and the corporate network. This convergence is inevitable and this is where we are all going to need security to make sure our personal assets, our home assets and our corporate assets are protected at the right level, Galvan explains. So you have to find the right balance. You want to open it to your family members, friends and co-workers, but not to strangers. That is the challenge and the opportunity. Trust or bust Clearly, our lives and our devices have become inextricably intertwined. As we have demonstrated, mobile empowers us to capture and consume content; it influences how, when and where we connect with friends and family; it increasingly assists us in daily decision-making; and it ultimately links our physical and digital worlds. Thus, mobile has evolved to take a central role in our lives. However, the future of mobile will not be decided by technology. It will be determined by our very human requirements for simple, transparent services we can trust.
77
TRUST
Yes, we rely on our devices to do a lot. We make calls, consume content and download apps. And thats just the beginning. Now devices and services that are truly transformational are breaking onto the mainstream market. However, before we use them to their full potential, we must be confident that the integrity of our assets bank accounts, personal data, digital content is protected.
Trust may seem like a vague and intangible notion, but its value is decidedly real and concrete. In fact, nothing is more fundamental to how we live, manage and enhance our digital lives than the belief that we can truly trust the devices, services and companies we interact with to deliver on their promises. At the other end of the spectrum, the ability to create trust is also the most fundamental competency required of all the players that make up the digital business ecosystem. In fact, building and maintaining trust with an increasingly broad set of stakeholders is emerging as a key determinant of success. In a world where trust is more perishable than ever, players across the ecosystem will need to focus on how to effectively build a lasting trust asset. They must also better understand what trust means to their customers, and their customers customers, and build trust-based relationships with them based on greater insights into what they really want. Significantly, only a relationship built on trust will provide companies access to the customer insights and information that will allow them to develop and deliver the applications, devices, services and infrastructure that will transform our lives and ultimately allow them to stay relevant, competitive and profitable.

IN SUMMARY:
The explosion in mobile apps, increased demand for mobile banking, mobile payments and e-ticketing services, and growing interest in accessing and consuming premium TV and movie content on smartphones are changing all the rules. While they offer consumers more choice and flexibility in how they use their devices, mobile users should also be aware that their smartphones like their PCs are open to attacks from viruses and malware. The outcome is an increased requirement across the ecosystem for high level security on the device, not just the software. To achieve this the industry is standardizing and promoting adoption of the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a secure area that resides in the main processor of the mobile phone and guarantees that sensitive data is stored, processed and protected. In practice, this architecture provides security to mobile devices running open operating systems, supporting end-to-end security and safe execution by enforcing protection, confidentiality, integrity and access rights of the data belonging to trusted applications. Integrity and responsibility breed trust. Our mobile devices have become portable companions we rely on to help manage every detail of our digital lives, delivering us services, assistance and advice we believe are best for us. Hence, we have come to trust our devices, a relationship that places mobile at the center of our digital existence. The next phase of growth and innovation in mobile is about delivering us services, content and connectivity we can trust. Companies must also gain our trust; only then will we provide them the insights and information to deliver us what we want. The responsibility now lies with vendors and service providers take to the actions that will create a fertile ground for this trust to grow and flourish.

ment and deployment of trusted applications on mobile devices GlobalPlatform recently hosted an industry seminar to educate companies across the business ecosystem on the vast opportunities presented by the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Gil Bernabeu discusses the requirement for end-to-end security and GlobalPlatforms own road map to ensure the long-term interoperability of secure chip technology.
GlobalPlatform was established in 1999. Back then, there was concern by the companies issuing smartcards network operators, governments and banks around increasing fragmentation in the absence of industry-wide standards. At the time an overarching standard was ISO 7816, but it did not address many of the administrative commands that would have had to be standardized in order to have chip interoperability. Thus, GlobalPlatform was established to address those key issues of interoperability at the chip component level. As security methodologies have changed over time, so has the architecture in the chip. As a result, the means and mechanisms by which we

personalize the chip have also changed. In mobile, we can now do over-the-air activation of services, for example. So, when we look at putting richer applications on a mobile handset, the industry faces issues around security and interoperability. And we also face issues around new services because application developers want to have a known and standard platform to develop toward, and know the applications they write can be deployed broadly across several different platforms. The analogy I would use is the PC. The software programs dont care if the underlying hardware platform is from IBM, Dell or HP because the operating environment is largely standardized. When you call up an application, up comes an installation wizard, and the wizard knows exactly what to do. For developers, this means they can develop that application and trust that its performance will be the same on any operating environment. We are endeavoring to do this in the mobile world and create via Global Platform- the construct for that common operating environment.
providers, to software vendors and device makers. We are educating the industry on how and why the mobile industry is coming together to standardize security run-time execution in mobile handsets. The next 12 months will see us take a three-step approach to maintain this momentum. First, we will have agreement on the basic technology to develop a TEE-which is being standardized by GlobalPlatform by the end of this year. The next step, which will take place in the next six months, will allow us to have the first compliance program in place to verify the endto-end security of the TEE, including technology compliance and certification to known industry standards. Finally, in 12 months, we aim to have the complete infrastructure in place. So, its basic technology by the end of the year; compliance programs and functional checks in six months; and the complete environment in 12 months.

Thats a very focussed and ambitious road map. Why is it so important to move so quickly?
What are the milestones and achievements so far? What are GlobalPlatforms key focus areas and objectives for the next 12 months?
It is significant that we can go out to the industry and explain the value of the technology to service providers. To this end we have reached out to the ecosystem, from service and platform
The driver is value-added services and the opportunity that they represent to companies and service providers eager to offer them. Take banks, for example. Many are offering just a few services on smartphones. The banks are ready to invest more in terms of developing and deploying applications. However, to be able to do this under current conditions, they would have to develop for each handset platform. The TEE represents
a way to ensure the development of trusted applications mobile payments, for example that can be run securely in open environments, such as Android, Windows Phone and Linux. In parallel, another driver is the high risk of attacks from viruses and malware. People understand that this can be a very strong barrier to the deployment of value-added services that require a high level of security.
have collaboration to be able to able to enrich and grow the ecosystem.
I understand the TEE will provide end-to-end security. Does this reduce the need for other threat management solutions? Or does it create an entirely new market?
You bring up barriers. What are the challenges top of mind with GlobalPlatform?
The challenge is linked to the fact that we need to create a new ecosystem to enable the development and deployment of trusted applications on mobile devices. We need to bring players together that are not accustomed to working together, let alone sitting at the same table. We did this in the beginning with GlobalPlatform when we brought the banks, the operators and the chip manufacturers together. Now we need to do the same in a new environment and with new players like the software vendors and the platform providers. In other words, we need to involve the companies that use the chips. And we need to have the service provider seated at the same table. That will allow an exchange that will help everyone understand the value for each member of the overall ecosystem and the value chain that it creates. This is a challenge because there is much competition between the players. We need to
Its a good question. I foresee there will be a place for both. There will be a high level of security that is required by applications related to banking, for example. Users will have secure access to their banking application, which is crucial on an open device. And there will also be other applications that will require a less secure environment and will therefore be more the responsibility of the user. Since these applications will be software-based, there will naturally be a need for software that blocks malware or alerts the user so they can take control and decide to download or block the application.
82
TRUST
Clearly, premium content and mobile banking are two types of value-added services that are served and can benefit from the TEE. What are some other scenarios?
A: As our mobile phones become devices that accept and execute transactions that require a high level of security, we will see more use cases. There are two levels here. The first is about having more security to access value-added services and premium content, such as movies and music. This is certainly the first phase of the
TEE. The second phase of the TEE is all about the new ways consumers can use the phone to interact with these services using the keyboard, for example to enter PIN codes and store personal digital information. We should also not forget how this might evolve with innovation in mobile phones. Micro-sensors pave the way for new features that go beyond GPS to include sensing real-time context such as temperature. To protect their privacy, people will likely want to have access to specific blocking features inside the smartphone that will allow them to block applications from accessing data stored on the device or use the phones built-in NFC or Wi-Fi capabilities, for example.
outcome: a large ecosystem of application vendors in numerous segments and industries, which ultimately leads to greater economies of scale. This is the opportunity.
GlobalPlatform is not the only organization working on end-toend models to ensure a high level of security on mobile devices. The GSMA, for example, is working to establish a framework for mobile payments, while the OMTP is taking on the definition of a Trusted Execution Environment for the mobile phone. How do you feel they compare to GlobalPlatform?
So, there really isnt a competing developmental effort out there, other than the efforts that go on within individual companies themselves. If the market is permitted to evolve that way requiring a service provider to do things one way for one type of architecture, and another way for another architecture then it will prevent the creation of a mass market. Put simply, the application providers will have to make too much investment to reach the many different types of device platforms. It will retard the growth of the industry. Standardizing a TEE gives the application provider or service provider a way to make their investment and know that they can truly reach a mass market.
83
TRUST
Its a difficult question to answer in a simple way..However, there is no similar initiative focused on achieving our goals. We want to set a requirement for a well-defined and standardized TEE inside the phone. This, in turn, creates a broader level of alignment in the industry around commonly deployed security frameworks and associated software and APIs. The

Not exactly. Innovation would continue, but it would be highly proprietary. In other words, innovation would take a different path one that is not to the advantage of the application developer. Entering markets and broadly marketing their applications development is going to be much more costly for them since they will have so many more platforms to develop
to, and so many more to maintain.
And this is also critical from a global perspective. Lack of standards is not only preventing a mass market, but it would also prevent us from reaching the next billion, for whom mobile is the only screen

One of the Europes largest banks, BNP Paribas operates about 2,250 retail branches in France and has approximately 4,000 additional locations in some 85 other countries. The company and its myriad subsidiaries specialize in retail banking, corporate and investment banking, and asset management. In 2009 BNP Paribas acquired a 75 percent stake in beleaguered Fortis Banque, adding some 1,450 retail branches in Belgium and Luxembourg and further cementing BNP Paribas as a top European bank. Phillippe Gillet discusses the role of mobile in the banks efforts to enhance customer service and boost loyalty.
From contactless payments trials to delivering advanced services via mobile and mobile apps, your bank has developed a strong focus on mobile. Please detail the role of mobile in your strategy and its place in your wider innovation and cross-media strategy.
As one of the largest banks in Europe, we have a significant presence in mature markets. Our footprint in Africa, in countries including Morocco and Tunisia, gives us a significant presence in emerging markets. So, we pursue two different approaches with respect to mobile. In mature markets its about the benefits of communication and using mobile to maintain our market share. In emerging markets, its different and we see that leveraging mobile is a way to expand our share and attract new customers. BNP Paribas is active in mobile. We were one of the first banks to implement software on the iPhone and Android.

85
Additionally, we have developed an application to help our customers find the nearest BNP Paribas. In France we have a partnership with PayPal. In Belgium, together with the leading banks and telcos there, we are testing a new service for micropayments. In Turkey we have some trials with providers to allow our customers to pay their bills using their mobile phone. Africa is another area that is involving in mobile payments and banking. Together with Orange we kicked off news services with Orange Money available to customers on the Ivory Coast, Senegal and Burkina Faso. We have not yet disclosed details, but we are also looking to offer mobile banking with other African countries in the future where we would provide some micro-credit services.
After all, some industry experts expect that the next two years will see the same level of use of the Internet on the Android or iPhone as we do now on the personal computer.
But it also goes beyond developing systems and services on Android or iPhone. Mobile is part of a multi-channel approach to CRM. With it you can manage contact with the customer. For example, the call center can arrange a follow-up appointment with the customer on their mobile phone and then forward this appointment and all the details directly to the customer manager in the branch office. Thus, the relationship with the customer is enriched and managed across all channels: ATMs, personal computers and, of course, mobile. Its important to have a completely integrated view of the relationship with the customer.
86
TRUST
Apps are hot, with a lot of brands using apps to engage with their customers. You have your own app as well. What role does or will apps play in your own global strategy, in terms of marketing, selling and delivering financial services?
The main motivation for building an app was to develop more and more direct relationships with our customers across new channels. Its easy for customers to do everything using their smartphones. So, if a bank is not present on an iPhone or Android phone, it is a disadvantage. Apps are at the center of building and keeping a good customer relationship.
As you mentioned, we are going to be using mobile devices just as much as we use our own PCs. This increase in use heightens concerns about security and malware. What are your concerns as a bank and how are you enabling secure payments and banking via mobile?
Its a very complex situation, and cultural factors also have to be considered when looking for solutions. In Belgium, for example, people are accustomed to doing their home banking with the help of a phone connected card reader that effectively provides the token to enable and secure
the home banking transaction. And they use the same security set-up to conduct e-commerce on the Internet. In France, its different. There we started two years ago with banking and payments on the Internet based on a low level security that requires a date of birth, for example. Next, customers are required to input their One Time Password to verify transactions. On mobile in France we authenticate the transaction using a one-time password with SMS. I think that what is most important in security is to let the system evolve in the direction of the approaches that are effective, such as mobile and SMS.
such as banking and micro-credit.
The value chain is in a constant state of flux. Some analysts suggest we are heading for a showdown between the banks and financial institutions and the mobile operators. What is your view? Must we view mobile payments as a zero-sum game?
Analysts and reports indicate that the real opportunities for mobile banking and payments are in the developing world, where regions are underbanked and mobile is the ONLY screen. What is your view? As a global bank, where do you see the growth opportunities and the difficulties?
Different consumers habits and regulations mean the value chain can be different in each country. It is clear that mobile operators have a role to play because they have a network. Working together to offer mobile payments makes sense - particularly in unbanked countries. Of course, the concern is that we lose part of the relationship, or the important part of a relationship, with new customers. How do we approach this? We have to recognize that our main skill is that we know the customer. We also understand good risk management and we know how to provide payments and credit to customers. In most of these countries telcos know its our business strength, not their business. So, in developing markets we have to provide these services directly on the mobile in partnership with the telco, not compete against the telcos. It may have been a battle a few years ago, but today telcos understand there are two ways to develop banking services. Because it is the mobile channel, telcos could just go ahead and deliver these services alone. However,
87
TRUST
For growth opportunities, its definitely the emerging markets. In Morocco, for example, we have only 300 branches. That was enough a few years ago, but today the market development requires the bank to offer services for the mass market and to do that cost-effectively. If we want to compete against the other banks in Morocco, we have to do it with mobile. We dont have the capacity to build out our branch offices in that country quickly enough. And so, the only way to increase our market share in Morocco, or to maintain it, is to offer mobile services
telcos realize its not their business area to provide or manage credit. In Senegal, Burkina Faso, Orange specifically asked us to work with them. They didnt want to do this alone.
Looking to the next 12 months, what are the three key trends or scenarios that excite you the most?
Lets discuss the role of mobile in CRM. Many argue that text SMS messaging because everyone can text and all phones support it is THE format for effective outreach in the form of loyalty programs and other CRM schemes. What are your views and why?
For me, there is just one development that matters. In the next months, we will know more about Googles mobile payment trials in New York and in California. What is the impact when a player like Google moves into payment services? An, by the way, we can ask the same about Apple. For Google, the most important thing is to know and they already know this very well today is what the end-users are doing. Google knows this in the Internet because it knows what people search for and do on their computers and on their mobile phones. Now with Google at the point-of-sale, Google will also know what users want to do and buy. Google will know my complete shopping patterns and behavior. So, its like: Mr. Gillet, I know you very well, what you are buying on the Internet and what you buy at the shop near your house. Based on this I could receive advertising. Direct advertising could be the next step. This very relevant and targeted advertising related to my purchases is very important, its also unsettling. Its a little bit like Big Brother watching you.
The way to have a relationship with the customer is to maintain a high level of service and provide these services using all the formats available: text messaging, mobile apps and the mobile Internet. At first SMS was used to inform customers on their current balance, deliver stock alerts or promote offers and services. But on the Android and on the iPhone, its efficient - and possible - to do much more. If a customer wants to know their balance, we can deliver the answer and use the opportunity to deliver an advertising message, depending on the context, of course.

With the OMAP 4 platform, we made even more improvements and, as the TEE becomes more of a standard, we have made the TEE comply to those standards and particularly to the GlobalPlatform API standards. So, TI has always been very conscious about bringing the best possible level of security to our customers.

The prime driver, beginning with OMAP 2 processors, was the protection of the device with features like secure booting, and the capability of offering an isolated, secure world separate from the operating system where we could protect security credentials like the keys, the security data and the security assets. Put another way, the original motivation was to protect the device so that our
Absolutely. The smartphone you buy today has the same capabilities as the PC you bought a couple years ago. However, there are a few critical differences. A smartphone can be more easily lost or stolen, and can be connected to networks everywhere, including potentially very hostile networks and locations around the world. So, the security risks are quite larger than the ones you face on your PC at home. And the connection to cloud services that you are going to get on your smartphone or tablet imposes additional security rules
on you, which are required by the service providers who offer these services on the cloud in the first place. Companies like Netflix or PayPal will not offer their premium services on your device unless your device brings a high level of protection.

Thats a great segue to the news that Texas Instruments has become the first partner to achieve the Netflix Silicon Reference Implementation (SRI) certification for the Netflix HD application on Android. In plain text this means that your
FIGURE 2:
The M-Shield Security Technology
Being the first to achieve this coveted certification and to provide the solution that ensures a strong balance of performance, security and power efficiency as Netflix experiences migrate to the mobile world, is a huge achievement for us. In the months to come were sure to see more service providers determined to bring their content to mobile devices while fulfilling the demand for a high level of security. Im thinking here of services like Amazon Instant Video (AIV), MobiTV or Hulu Plus [an adsupported, premium subscription service that includes HD access to full season runs of shows from U.S. broadcasters Fox, ABC, and NBC]. This is the same situation as with Netflix, where the service provider demands to provide its high-quality content only to those devices that have guaranteed content protection to ensure the content is protected on the device, and cant be stolen or hacked. So, in the months to come we will see a number of devices from a number of companies which are implementing the Netflix application on top of the OMAP platform. And, for our customers, the fact that the OMAP platform is certified by Netflix dramatically reduces the time to market for their devices because their certification time with Netflix is also reduced. This means that a customer using the OMAP 4 platform today will only have to go through a

companies backing up the payments. You can imagine payments based on cloud computing, rather than on the secure element processing on the device or on the plastic card.
Content providers require robust security on the device to protect the integrity of the content. However, there are also huge opportunities when we look at mobile payments and mobile banking. Please share some of the use cases this security technology enables.
But, its not just about payments. More important than the cash itself, which is transitioning in the payment process, is the statistical information: fidelity information, discount information, customer history tracking information. All these information flows are associated with the payment. Its not cash, but this is still information that has great financial value. And, it is also going to require a TEE in order to process along the lines of a complete monetization or payment transaction. Say you buy a flight and reserve a hotel room using your mobile device. You input your credit card, your airline company credit card, and then maybe you have a discount coupon for the hotel booking you got as part of a mobile advertising campaign. You have all of this information associated with a payment transaction, and it needs to be secure. And I think this convergence of the payment and data associated with the payment is going to be a booming space where we can take advantage of the capability and importance of the TEE.
92
TRUST
The mobile payment space is truly booming. An area of particular interest is proximity payments, where you use your device to pay at the point-of-sale. And, this is booming because of recent developments, such as the launch of Google Wallet. At the moment, proximity payments are very much a credit card mimicking capability. The security is inside the secure element, which is inside the NFC chip. It mimics a credit card payment model, and the NFC with secure element takes on the role of the smartcard in the plastic card. However, there are many more payment capabilities that can be developed, and not necessarily with traditional banking or credit card

this information needs to be processed very securely particularly since people are already sensitive and have privacy concerns when it comes to the data their devices are collecting about them. So, you need security to give confidence to the end-user that this information gathered is fully protected but also able to give them opportunities, discounts, loyalty points they can redeem for benefits. Its also information that shouldnt get into the wrong hands. Therefore, they need to be provided an infrastructure that gives them what is good and protects them from what is bad. Here the TEE has a role to play because it has the capability to coordinate all these flows of information, and to store and process this information securely inside the TEE.
First and most importantly, OS framework providers like Google are part of this ecosystem. For instance, Google embeds a security framework that Android developers access in order to use the security capabilities available on the platform. In other words, Android is supporting a TEE, and the same could happen for other operating systems. The second ecosystem is made up of the players that are going to provide the secure services that will run inside the TEE. These include DRM agent providers, mobile payment engine providers, over-the-air providers. All of these companies can provide variants of their software. But inside their software they delegate the security execution, for instance for authentication or for payment, to a secure service that is running inside the TEE. The third family of the ecosystem partners are the people who are going to provide applications that run inside the high-level operating system and can use the secure services, which they assume will be on the platform,

TRUST
The role of the TEE is also expanding, driven by work within the GlobalPlatform, the organization which counts Texas Instruments as a member along with Giesecke & Devrient, ST Ericsson, and Trusted Logic standardizes the management of applications and secure
to develop an application. For instance, I can develop a commerce application that assumes a secure payment engine is available in the TEE on the platform and therefore can run on or can be downloaded onto a mobile device where this payment engine has already been installed. Overall, the ecosystem has three dimensions, and it has to go in three steps. First, we have to have the infrastructure ecosystem vendors involved, and this is the case within the GlobalPlatform and through the standardization it has achieved so far. Secondly, you have to have the security service providers, and today several are involved and this number will grow very fast with the standardization progress this year that you mentioned. And, finally, you have the application developers who will then transform the application to capitalize on the existence of the security services deployed on the devices.
bedroom, as well as the temperature of your house. Today we see the home network is happening and its also going to require security to both enable and control that convergence.
And when it all comes together we have the ecosystem to enable the use cases you described around premium content and mobile payments. What are the other scenarios that excite you when you look to the future of mobile security?
Consumers will need security because they dont necessarily want to mix the information they have with the information their kids, relatives or visitors have. People will want and need some isolation between the networks within the home network because they have levels of privacy to protect. Say your friends come by and they bring their own devices into your home. Maybe their device somehow gets connected into your home network, or maybe you offer them access to the Internet via Wi-Fi at your home. There is data that you dont want them to access in your home network and that is what you need to protect. You also need to make sure the content they have on their devices is not coming to your network because, for one, you dont have the rights to get the content that they have on their device, despite the fact that their device becomes part of your network. And there are other networks to consider. You work at home so your home network converges with your personal network and your corporate network. You have to be able to draw the line. Imagine a colleague from work comes to your home to work on a project. They bring their device into your home network and they are connected to your corporate network.

Suddenly, your home network gets connected with your colleagues mobile network and your enterprise network. You need to have isolation between your home network and your home assets and your corporate assets and what your colleague is bringing as he joins your network to do this project work at your home. So you can see how convergence is going to blur the lines between the
home network, the personal network and the corporate network. This convergence is inevitable and this is where we are all going to need security to make sure our personal assets, our home assets and our corporate assets are protected at the right level. So you have to find the right balance. You want to open it to your family members, friends and co workers, but not to strangers. That is the challenge and the opportunity.

Mobile phones have evolved into open software platforms capable of downloading a huge variety of applications from the Internet. New business models are emerging, from the capability to pay for, download and view the latest Hollywood blockbuster content to the ability to manage bank accounts remotely from a handset. Opportunities are vast and so is the threat of malicious code

ogy, a system-wide approach to security on huge array of applications including secure
high performance computing platforms for a payment, digital rights management (DRM), and web-based services. Robert Brown discusses the increasing requirement for robust security solutions and the progress to date.
TrustZone is a security technology that is complementary to existing secure technologies because its filling a gap between handsets with rich operating systems that are full of flexibility and functionality but also open to attack from malware and some of the more secure technologies associated with smart cards and secure elements. The smart card has evolved to provide a strong tamper-resistant function that allows it to store highly sensitive assets like bank keys and EMV applications. When you place one of those secure elements in a handset, effectively you place a secure island into the handset thats useful for some security functions. However, the secure element doesnt have a keypad, and it doesnt have a display, so wheres the security for

96
a keypad and display going to sit? It has to sit inside the system-onchip that has a direct connection to the user interface, and thats where the security needs to be added. Thats where TrustZone comes in. It enables us to provide an isolated environment, a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), in which the more security sensitive functions of an application, such as user input and display can be run separate from the rich OS but on the same hardware as the rich OS. So, what you really want to run in a TEE is a very small secure OS and small secure applets - the fewer lines of code that you have, the less likelihood of bugs and backdoors that can be exploited. For that we looked to the smart card vendors with their smart card OSs to develop them and port them into TrustZone systemson-chip.
operating system. A trusted execution environment, on the other hand, would be in the realms of a few tens of kilobytes of code. So there are several orders of magnitude of difference in size. The rich OS is designed to do all the things that app developers want, such as make things look great on the display and provide plenty of APIs for easy application development. The Trusted Execution Environment is designed to handle some highly security specific functions, such as encryptions, hashing, capturing PINs and passwords. We want to keep the functionality small, because we dont want to run a full application in the trusted execution environment. It wouldnt be trusted, because there would be too much code running in there. So to answer the question, picture a banking application, sat on a future handset with a Trusted Execution Environment and a Secure Element. The vast majority of code for that banking app would be running in the rich OS that handles the user interactions, the look and feel and flow of the app itself. A smaller amount of code would handle things like securely capturing the users password, or securely displaying a transaction amount. And an even smaller amount of code would potentially sit in a corresponding secure element, which would handle PIN verification and authorization to enable a transaction in an offline environment. Obviously theres got to be a mechanism to communicate to a Trusted Execution

TRUST
Apps are hot. In an application, where does the OS leave off, and where does the Trusted Execution Environment begin?
To start, lets compare a rich operating system with a Trusted Execution Environment. A rich OS may have many hundreds of megabytes of code that form the code-base of that
Environment from a rich OS, and thats handled by a driver with a standard interface the Global Platform TEE API.
What are the use cases that are driving this?
A chief one is content protection. The studios want to know that when users download and play the content they offer their high value content assets are protected. In order to offer their content to end-users in the first place, these providers demand security in an end-user device, such that they can have a high level of confidence in the transaction. They have to be sure if they sell high-definition premium content to an end user, then that content is going to the person they sold it to and no further. A high level of security on the device paves the way for new services, like being able to access high-definition content before it is released on DVD.
go an hunt down my wallet and enter pages of information, Im much more likely to buy just at the moment Ive decided that Id want to watch the film. With this simplicity of purchase were opening up new sales opportunities just from having security baked into the device. Security should make things easy for users, and when payments are made easy, commerce will thrive.

Payments are intrinsically tied to content services you can envision? too. As a film-lover I read reviews of One is loyalty applications. Today, your films currently playing in the cinema supermarket loyalty card is a plastic on my tablet computer, and often think card in your wallet. Its a number that after reading a review that I trust this is associated with you and allows the reviewer, and yes, Id go and see that supermarket to track and reward your film. But reality kicks in when my two purchases. Place that loyalty card young kids and no babysitter demand number into an unprotected device, that I stay at home. All thought of seeing and it becomes a unique identifier that the film vanishes and Ill have forgotten anyone who has infected your device all about it by the time it comes to DVD with malware can use to track you. If or satellite TV. If that same film review the loyalty number is linked to coupons Im reading on my tablet has a purchase and vouchers, then - again - this is link on it, and the purchase experience something that someone could hack was so simple that I could click on it, to steal your discounts and offers. enter a pin, and buy the rights to watch the film without the need for me to Supermarkets dont necessarily need
What are other scenarios and
the same level of protection that a bank does. But they would want to have some level of trust and protection to ensure that their app is protecting their users identity, and to convince the individual user that their app will be used by the supermarket and nobody else. Many supermarkets have spent years building trust in their brand between themselves and their users and it only takes one breach of trust to erode goodwill built over decades. But its not just about protecting consumer privacy; its also about being able to offer some enhanced services to the user. Shops could send me offers they know from tracking my past purchases which I will likely appreciate and make them location aware as well. For instance if the sun is shining (a rare event in the UK), and they know Im at home, the supermarket could push an offer for discounted steak to me. That may give me an idea to post a Facebook invite to my friends to come for a barbeque; then off I go to the supermarket, with my discount coupons already loaded onto my device. All in one seamless action I can redeem the coupons while paying at the checkout. Theres a sale completely generated from having a trustworthy device. Its not possible today because the devices are not that trustworthy.
standardizing the technology and certifying it. So lets talk about the enablement. To date ARM processors are found in over 95% of the worlds mobile phones. TrustZone is an ARM technology that is found in ARM processors targeting the advanced application processor system-onchip sockets in smart phones and many silicon providers already have TrustZone in their designs. However, TrustZone needs to be correctly configured by a chip manufacturer and to that end were working with chip manufacturers, enabling them to create chips that will meet the needs of service providers that demand security including banks, content owners, aggregators and network operators. We are standardizing interfaces as full member of Global Platform, which means we are working with companies like Gemalto on creating levels of inter-operability for deploying applications written to Trusted Execution Environments. ARM donated its TrustZone API to Global Platform over a year ago and since then the Global Platform members have revised it and published it as the Global Platform Trusted Execution Environment API. Certification is a big challenge. Efforts are focused on proving a level of security for banks to make informed decisions on risk management. To achieve this we need something that the banks find familiar, something like Common Criteria evaluation. But the

mobile value chain is vastly different from the smart card market. We cant go about imposing smart card like evaluations on mobile handsets, simply because nobody in the handset market has the time to go through such an evaluation. So, what we have to do is focus on an evaluation process that proves security by design. And to do this were taking on the challenge of proving, at the base layer, that our TrustZone architecture provides levels of isolation and security that are necessary. This approach, with each chip implementation, would see each device manufacturer building upon a base certification to end up with a composite program that certifies at the device level, such that the device has been correctly implemented to make use of TrustZone.
challenge has been the handsets. The mobile phones people really want are smartphones and the NFC-enabled handsets that manufacturers have been selling are two-year old handsets that nobody wants anymore because theyre so dated. The breakthrough opportunities arise when it comes to this bringing NFC to open OS devices. This is where the Trusted Execution Environment really comes into play. Put another way, were not reliant upon NFC to drive adoption of the Trusted Execution Environment. In fact, the Trusted Execution Environment can actually assist with driving NFC into the smartphone. There is a lot of work to do in building payment applications to make use of Trusted Execution Environments. How this plays out is down to the service providers, and the success of industry efforts to bring them up to speed and educate them as they start to create apps. After all, whats driving adoption is the rise of the smartphone and the apps we download. The smartphone is fantastically open and has brought us hundreds of thousands of new apps, but it also brings us many new threats into the mobile world. This is one of the key drivers for the Trusted Execution Environment.

foundation for a secure world

Our need for seamless mobility has opened up a world of new possibilities, but it also presents the industry with two major challenges: interoperability and security. Trusted Logic, a subsidiary of Gemalto, is a major player in the digital security market addressing the growing requirement for open and secure embedded systems and solutions for smart cards and wireless devices. The company, which serves 200+ customers in the telecom, banking, transportation and government sectors, has successfully positioned itself as a key enabler, paving the way for a variety of services ranging from mobile payments to e-ticketing. However, Trusted Logics value to its customers does not end there. The company is also a leader in Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and committed to supporting the TEE specifications from GlobalPlatform, the body that standardizes the secure and interoperable deployment and management of multiple embedded applications on secure chip technology. Moreover, Trusted Logic as part of the Gemalto group is a full member of GlobalPlatform, participating in the various GlobalPlatform Committees and task forces. Moreover, Christophe Colas is chairing the GlobalPlatform Device Committee. Christophe discusses the developments driving the demand for digital security and the key milestones that mark significant progress.
Lets start with a high-level view of Trusted Logic and recent innovations that allow you to achieve your goal of providing secure and interoperable products and solutions for digital services.
With our Trusted Execution Environment product, Trusted Foundations, we were the first to align with the latest TEE specifications from GlobalPlatform. By incorporating the requirements of this standard, Trusted Foundations becomes an open platform based on standard interfaces, making it easier for service providers to develop applications. By way of background, GlobalPlatforms TEE defines a standard that makes it easier to use secure environments within the various smartphone operating systems. Trusted Foundations, implementing a TEE, provides an isolated environment to secure sensitive applications on the mobile device itself. It is already widely deployed on Android and Symbian smartphones

from major handset manufacturers. It also fulfills the security level required for premium content protection and digital rights management, as well as corporate applications on smartphones and mobile financial services. In addition, Trusted Foundations unique Trusted User Interface brings a further level of security by protecting against malicious applications, and prompting end-users when they can enter sensitive information. This is critical for securitydemanding applications such as mobile financial services. After all, our mobile devices are rapidly evolving from a simple telephone to an all-inone wallet, bank account, cinema, library, and more. It is therefore crucial to ensure security while allowing a rich application eco-system. Incorporating the requirements from GlobalPlatform specifications provides even stronger readiness to host applications from a wide variety of sources. For example, chip specialist Nvidia has selected Trusted Logics Trusted Foundations software product to secure sensitive applications on super phones and tablets powered by the Nvidia Tegra mobile super chip. Target applications include mobile commerce, mobile banking, and corporate services. The product has also been combined with TrustedShow digital rights management, to allow consumers to enjoy the highdefinition video-on-demand service on Tegra-powered super phones and tablets. Trusted Foundations is now being integrated in Tegra, and can leverage hardware-based security
such as the ARM TrustZone.
How do you define security? Specifically, what is driving the requirement for security on our devices, as opposed to software-based solutions?
Smartphones and tablets, basically open devices, are sharpening the industry focus on security. The advance of these devices means that users can download applications from an application store. Obviously, these devices are open, so they are not only open to the valid applications users download. They are also open to attack from malware, similar to the viruses and malevolent applications we know - and are still experiencing - on the PC. Its a difficult balance because users have an open device and want to have a lot of applications on it. But they also need to maintain a certain level of security on the device. Overall, the security can be spread between something that you do in the Cloud and something that you will do within the device. If we focus on the device, there are four areas where you can add security. In the first level, everything is simply done within the application. However, this is only a software-based approach to security and open to the malware that can we know attacks all software. At the second level of security, you could have some security embedded inside the operating system and that could be used indirectly by all the applications that are downloaded to
102
TRUST
the device. But this is still softwarebased security, so it will not stand up against elaborated software attacks including device rooting or jailbreaking.
How do companies choose the level of security? That is up to the providers. Naturally, premium content companies and providers demand the highest level of security and a hardware-based solution ensures the content is protected on the device, and cant be stolen, compromised or hacked. That was also the motivation of Nvidia when it selected out Trusted Foundations software product to secure sensitive applications on super phones and tablets powered by its Tegra mobile super chip.
To be truly secure the approach has to be hardware-based. That is where the third category of security, known as Secure Elements (SE), comes in. The Secure Elements are smartcard-based technology that can be part of the SIM card, a dedicated Embedded SE or a MicroSD card. Secure Elements are effectively hardware-based but with a specific additional hardware element. Fourth and last, and where we are having our major focus in Trusted Logic, this is a Trusted Execution Environment or TEE. The TEE is a secure area that resides in the main processor of the phone and guarantees that sensitive data is stored, processed and protected in a trusted environment. Its ability to offer safe execution of authorized security software, known as trusted applications, enables the TEE to enforce protection, confidentiality, integrity and access rights of the data belonging to those trusted applications. This, in turn, provides end-to-end security.
Lets talk about the growth opportunities. Premium content is one. What are the others?
103
TRUST
The market is booming because of smartphones and tablets. Consumers want to do more with these devices because they can. This activity has captured the attention of service providers that want to provide services to the consumer and monetize them. Wherever companies want to monetize services this has to be backed up by security features that are spread between some security features on the Cloud and some security features on the devices. This is a growth opportunity for Trusted Logic, and for the entire ecosystem. The more services there are on the phone the more service providers coming in to the phone the more there is an interest in making money with these services. With service providers like Netflix lining up to deliver video, as well as companies that allow you to
connect your devices so you download to your smartphone and watch on your TV, its clear there is new revenue being created here. And this represents new and exciting opportunity. Right now were speaking about mobile phones and tablets. But it will grow to include home networks, automotive and the enterprise. At the same time, we will see this spread into everything related to mobile payments and transactions so NFC, proximity payments, mobile banking, money transfers between individuals. Here again companies and banks are requiring a higher level of security. And, here again, this is a huge growth opportunity for Trusted Logic, as well as for other ecosystem players.
practice the user can securely enter a PIN code or a passcode to validate the transaction and to be sure the PIN code is managed securely within the TEE. That way the user can also be sure that the transaction information which is displayed on the device is correct and no malware has changed it. This is critical. Without it you could not be sure if malware hadnt somehow changed important data such as the amount of a money transfer, or the bank details of the recipient. With the Trusted Execution Environment and the Trusted User Interface you can be sure the sensitive part of the user interface, the part open to attack from malware, is completely secure.
104
TRUST
Lets talk about payments. How are you facilitating payment security as Trusted Logic and also as a member of GlobalPlatform?
The unique value we add to the ecosystem is the so-called Trusted User Interface, which we are implementing for the TEE. It allows there to be a trusted transaction on the mobile device. Say you do a financial transaction on the mobile using an Android application. The user interface everything that you are typing onto the phone and the information that is displayed on the phone is controlled by the Android system. This means it is also open to a malware attack. The Trusted User Interface implemented within the TEE allows users to validate the transaction. In
Lets discuss GlobalPlatform. You are a leading member and you, personally, chair the Device Committee. Please detail your roadmap and your deliverables. I understand that October marked a milestone in the organizations progress and outreach to players in the industry...
Within GlobalPlatform significant progress has been made toward standardizing both the Secure Elements and the Trusted Execution Environment. With regards to Secure Elements, the work there started quite early and a lot of progress has been made. However, there are still points about to be fine-tuned in terms of NFC. The technology is mature. But the NFC value chain is quite complex, and there are lots of players involved. To
do NFC payments you first need the Secure Elements. There are different forms of Secure Elements and there are also different players that own and control these Secure Elements. In some cases its the OEM, in others its the mobile operator. The Secure Element can also be controlled by other entity like Google in the case of Google Wallet. So you just dont need the technology; you need to have an agreement between the players in the value chain about the business model and how all the parties work together. On the TEE technology, we have already defined some key pieces of the technology. We have defined the TEE Client API last year that allows software residing in the main mobile OS to communicate with the TEE. We are completing for end year a first version of the TEE Internal APIs that will be used
by service providers to develop Trusted Applications running within the TEE. We have an active roadmap for next year to further standardize the TEE. We will add new functionality in the TEE internal APIs such as adding the communication with the Secure Elements. We are defining also the compliance program for the TEE, the remote administration of the TEE and the security certification program for the TEE. The objective of the standardization is to grow the ecosystem of the TEE. This is made up of service providers developing secure applications for the TEE and the platform providers that must be able to implement this standard technology. So, the goal is very much to grow this key ecosystem and to reduce any fragmentation in this emerging technology.

Enabling value-added services on smartphones and tablets
Wireless devices allow us to enter the digital world of personal entertainment and business. Increasingly we mix the use of these devices we use personal tablets for work, and our work smartphones for personal things. Their powerful, open platforms support countless applications, but at the same time are vulnerable to malware and attempts to obtain illegal access to what needs to stay secure. It is therefore essential to isolate, on the device itself, services that require strict security from less controlled general-purpose applications. Trusted Logic has led the way in enabling users to access services anywhere, anytime, securely, by spearheading the development of the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a security architecture that leverages device processor and system-on-chip hardware security features.

5 surprising facts about

global digital traffic
comScore has recently introduced a new solution providing insight into digital traffic coming from all types of devices on a global basis. Device Essentials utilises comScores Unified Digital Measurement (UDM) methodology, which captures media web traffic coming from more than a million domains tagging with comScore around the world. In May alone, comScore observed 150 billion census-level page views worldwide.
119
Our visibility into this detailed activity on web entities has provided us with a treasure trove of new data that is helping us understand the complexities of the increasingly fragmented digital media environment. Here are a few interesting new findings based on our analysis of the 15 countries currently reported:
1 Mobile phones are second only to computers in driving digital traffic
While we saw computers accounting for at least 93 percent of digital traffic across the 15 markets studied, we also saw mobile contributing the most amount of traffic following computers. The US has the highest share of non-computer device traffic at 6.2 percent, with mobile phones making up about two-thirds of that traffic (4.2 percent overall). Singapore and the UK, which also have considerably high shares of non-computer device traffic at 5.9 percent and 5.3 percent, respectively, also show mobile comprising the majority of that traffic. In the UK, the iOS platform accounted for 59.9 percent of all non-computer device traffic, with 29.9 percent of non-computer traffic coming from iPhones, 21.3 percent from iPads, and 8.7 percent from iPod Touches. Next to mobile phones, tablets contribute a significant share of total non-computer device traffic. Two-thirds of the markets in this analysis saw tablets driving more than 20 percent of all non-computer device traffic. Tablets account for 21.6 percent of non-computer traffic in the UK. Apple accounts for 98.6 percent of all tablet traffic in the UK.
2 Apple leads the way for non-computer device traffic across markets
3 Tablets account for a significant share of non-computer traffic
4 Apple dominates the tablet market around the world
In all of the markets included in this analysis, the share of total digital traffic coming from tablets was driven largely by iPads. In 13 of the 15 markets, Apple captured at least 95 percent of the tablet market, while Android tablets accounted for most of the remaining tablet share. Device Essentials measures traffic from other web-enabled devices beyond computers, mobile phones, and tablets, such as e-readers and gaming consoles. In all of the markets studied, these other devices contributed less than 1 percent to overall digital traffic, with the highest share of traffic seen in Canada and the US at 0.6 percent. Other web-enabled devices account for only 0.5 percent of total traffic in the UK.
5 E-readers and gaming consoles barely register any traffic
From these preliminary Device Essentials data that there are many insights about traffic patterns across the digital landscape today that were just beginning to uncover.

as over the top players dominate, mobile operators will transition into enablers
Where there were once mobile value-added services there are now smartphones and the mobile Internet. Where there were operator portals there are now application stores. And where there were once mobile operators there are now Internet giants and Silicon-Valley start-ups.
The entry of Internet players into FIGURE 1: Mobile, Portable and fixed internet users, the mobile business has been long2010-2015 heralded but it has taken the smartphone 4.0 and touchscreen revolution to make it a TOTAL MOBILE 3.5 MOBILE 2.5 reality. For players such as Facebook, FIXED 2.0 Google and Twitter, mobile is now 1.5 1.0 the engine driving their businesses 0.5 PORTABLE forward. By the end of 2011 there will 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 be 1.24 billion mobile (small-screen) Internet users, according to Informa Source: Informa Telecoms & Media Telecoms & Media and in 2012 there will be twice as many new mobile Internet as fixed Internet users. The mobile growth figures of the leading Over The Top players are staggering: Facebook announced in September that more than 350 million people are accessing the service via a mobile device every month. Facebook has 800 million users worldwide. In the same month Twitter said that 55% of its 100 million active users 55 million people use the service on a mobile device. This represents a 40% increase on the previous quarter. Google is activating more than 550,000 Android devices per month. Informa Telecoms & Media estimates that 153 million Android devices will ship in 2011, up from 63 million handsets in 2010. In total there will be 366 million smartphones shipped in 2011. YouTube Mobile gets 320 million views a day, up 60% since January. Mobile users are generating $2.5 billion per year for Google (largely through search), a figure that has gone up 2.5 times over the last 12 months
INTERNET USERS (BIL)
121
The rapid growth in smartphone adoption has created the platform for the explosion in mobile Internet usage. There will be 387 million smartphones shipped in 2011. In North America and some European and developed Asian markets 40% of all mobile users have adopted smartphones. This is not to say that all smartphone owners are mobile Internet users while one in five Vodafone subscribers globally have upgraded to smartphones only half of these have taken data plans with their subscriptions. In the mobile Internet some services are available to all (smartphone) users while others are available only on specific platforms. Services such as Facebook, Twitter, Google and YouTube are available on all platforms. And every smartphone offers the user the opportunity to browse the open Internet and to access either fixed or mobile web pages. But a large proportion of mobile Internet usage on Android devices and on the iPhone is made up of applications created specifically for those platforms. And not all developers create applications for all platforms. Before 2011 developers tended to develop first for the iPhone while the other competing platforms principally Symbian, Android, Blackberry and Windows OS all had their own devotees but were some way behind the iPhone in FIGURE 2: terms of applications development. Now Apps comparisons, 4Q09 - 2Q11 that Android has overtaken Apple as the leading mobile OS it has become as popular as Android among developers while Symbian has fallen away. Blackberry and Windows OS are vying for third place behind the Android Market and Apple Apps Store and both need more support from developers if they are Note: Figures refer to quarter-end. Source: Informa Telecoms & Media to become serious rivals. Communications apps create a stir While each of the apps stores have different apps categories, games, content and personalization services dominate on all platforms. The majority of Apple apps are paid-for (62%) while the most Android apps are free (61%). Applications such as music and games do, in some cases, compete with mobile operators own services although these have never been major revenue earners for operators. The global mobile entertainment market was worth $26 billion in 2010 according to Informa Telecoms & Media. But a much bigger threat to the mobile operator business is a new breed of
122
communications apps mobile VoIP and mobile instant messaging services that started to gain significant traction in 2011. They include services such as Whats App, a cross-platform messaging service which was specifically mentioned by Dutch operator KPN as a contributor to a 6% decline in its first quarter SMS revenues. According to consumer research by KPN, Whats App was being used by 85% of its Android customers. Another example is Viber, a mobile VoIP service which launched in 2010 and already has 15 million users. Mobile operators voice and SMS businesses were worth $818 billion in 2010 and so even if these new Over The Top services were to take just 1-2% of the total market for these services and assuming that they are direct replacements for the operators own services this would result in a $10bn+ hit to their bottom line.
FIGURE 3:

Launched in December 2010 1 m downloads in the first 3 days 10 million downloads (Feb11 end) 15m users today Available on iPhone only for the 4-5 months Beta version of Android now available (may-Jun 11)
123
Operators are still trying to figure out the best competitive response to services such as Whats App and Viber. Their first reaction is to block such services but this approach has evolved to more guerrilla-like tactics with operators sporadically deprioritising or blocking the service to undermine their perceived quality. Some are making the services available only on their higher-priced mobile broadband price plans. And we are now beginning to see operators respond by offering their own mobile VoIP services, either made in-house or white-labelled from a third party. Increasingly operators will seek to minimise the threat posed by Over The Top players by introducing integrated price plans that comprise a bundle of voice, SMS and data and making it difficult for their customers to reduce their spend on voice or SMS and use their data plan for Over The Top voice and messaging services. Operators turn to Over The Top There is a realization among many operators that if they want to develop services that compete with these Over The Top players they need to enter the Over The Top market themselves. Telefonica already owns three Internet companies Latin American video service provider Terra networks, Spanish social networking site Tuenti and mobile VoIP company Jajah. France Telecom has taken more of a partnership approach. It is working with music streaming service provider Deezer and offers the service in several Orange markets as a competitor to Spotify. And it owns a 49% stake in video-streaming site Daily Motion.
The challenge for mobile operators is to allow these businesses to retain their independence and grow a global business (which may involve working with other operators) but at the same time develop their own unique services. In Telefonicas case it is using its Over The Top businesses to help drive innovation generally within the group. Another Over The Top strategy adopted by a growing number of operators is to offer their own Android storefronts. Operators believe that their channels add value by offering a more select set of apps, tested for quality and adapted to local needs, rather than what they would describe as the daunting and hit-and-miss choice available in the main store, which is crammed with hundreds of thousands of apps. In other words, they see themselves as offering quality over quantity. By acquiring stakes in Over The Top businesses, operators are entering the online and mobile advertising business via the back door. But operators generally are making stuttering progress in mobile advertising. Most of the smaller operators have decided that they cannot compete in this space with online players such as Google and Facebook. The exceptions are the larger operator groups such as Telefonica O2 and Vodafone. In the UK, O2 employs more than 30 people in its O2 Media business and there are plans to join forces with rival UK operators Vodafone and Everything Everywhere in 2012. O2 has developed an opt-in service called O2 More which offers its customers benefits such as special offers and new services in return for accepting advertising and marketing messages. An impressive 6.5 million O2 customers have signed up for O2 More. By offering advertisers and retailers access to these subscribers and giving them behavioural and location-based information, O2 believes that it can provide something unique and compelling that cannot be matched by online and traditional advertising. Monetisation forces operators to look elsewhere for revenues The mobile advertising market will grow from $2.5 billion in 2010 to $17 billion in 2015, according to Informa Telecoms & Media forecasts produced earlier this year. But operators share of these revenues will decline over the period from 26% to 21%. As such mobile advertising will generate little more than just pocket money for the $ trillion operator business and will contribute little to the cost of operating mobile broadband networks. Operators have explored a number of different options for monetizing services and offsetting the enormous cost of rolling out and expanding 3G and 3.5G networks. Operators are spending more than $100 billion per year building on mobile broadband networks but most of the services delivered over them are provided by third party Over The Top providers.
124
The idea of taxing Over The Top players is popular among operators but has been flatly rejected by the Over The Top community which believes with some justification that if it did not exist there would be no data access business for operators today. Revenues from smartphone data plans and mobile subscriptions were worth $116 billion to mobile operators in 2010.
FIGURE 4:
Global mobile opreators revenue, 2010
Operators are now pursuing the more realistic ambition of working with Over The Top players to build content delivery networks (CDNs) which reduce the volume of long-distance and international data traffic by storing it locally. But even here operators may be disappointed. Informa Telecoms & Media knows of one Latin American mobile operator which was asked to contribute to the cost of a local caching capability installed by an Over The Top player. It had little choice but to pay because the payment was less than the cost of carrying the traffic without the cache.
125
Faced with this avalanche of data traffic and limited options for monetizing consumer services, Informa Telecoms & Media believes that operators should pursue two strategic directions: 1 Introduce new, innovative data price plans for different market segments as an extension of their initial moves into tiered pricing. New price plans will be enabled by technologies that make it possible for operators to charge for specific applications and application categories and to vary pricing based on location, time of day and the level of congestion on the network. 2 Re-evaluate their position in the mobile services value chain and transition into service enablers providing connectivity and services to third parties. New opportunities in mobile payments, connected devices and M2M all involve the operators becoming B2B2C service providers. Operators are now working with applications developers and stores to provide carrier billing capabilities and this can also be seen as being more of a business than a consumer service.
Mapping out the future of mobile content and services The smartphone has changed the mobile services landscape. But we should not forget that only one in 10 mobile phone subscribers in the world today are smartphone users. In China smartphone penetration is only 5% and in India, just 2.6%. Is it just a matter of time before smartphone prices fall below $100 and start achieving mass market penetration in these countries? And will the Over The Top players ultimately dominate as they have in Europe and North America? The rapid decline in smartphone prices is inevitable and the next-generation of feature phones will also be optimized for Internet access. But this does not necessarily mean that usage trends, data pricing and the role of the operator will be the same in emerging markets as in more developed economies. Hundreds of millions of people will experience the Internet for the first time via a mobile phone in the coming years. There will be roles for operators, OEMs, platform providers and Internet companies to stimulate and harness the market for local content and applications and to find ways of delivering them to end users.
