REGULATION IS ALL ABOUT FAIR COMPETITION

RIS

Prices = indicator for competition

Cost based termination rates = fair competition + lower retail prices

Market studies & dominance determination

to safeguard fair competition and

reasonable retail prices

Price matches demand & supply

High prices = ineffective

competition

Prices below cost= predatory prices

GLOBAL INDICES ARE NOT SUITABLE TO MEASURE ICT SECTOR PERFORMANCE

• They are not being collected frequently enough - annually with huge time lag

• They mostly capture GDP per capita • Affordability indices cannot explain price differences

between countries • Highly correlated to prices as a share of GDP per capita • A change in affordability index is result of changes in

GDP per capita or foreign exchange fluctuations or both not sector performance

TRENDS IN MOBILE DATA• Because voice and SMS revenues are declining, operators are

looking at mechanisms to drive data usage • In Q3 2015, Digi Malaysia introduced free basic internet • All subscribers get 500MB of data for free throttled at 64kpbs • Data usage has grown by 257% between 2015 and 2017

TRENDS IN MOBILE DATA

• Bundling different flavours of data: • Uncapped slow data (64-640 Kbps) • Social media data • Video streaming • Late night access • Wifi access • Purpose linked data for specific applications, often

operator developed OTTs

ACTUAL USER BEHAVIOUR• Mobile user in Global South combine packages of their

operator: Best prepaid package + top up bundle (voice, SMS and data)

• Or even use different packages (SIM cards) across operators:1 SIM for voice and 1 for data

• Out of bundles calling, texting and data use often only for emergencies

• RIS captures all bundles and top up products that contain data or an MNO and combines it with the best prepaid package available for that MNO

OECD BASKETS DEC 2017• The new mobile OECD basket definitions from December 2017:

• No data use (2 baskets) • Low data and message use (5 baskets) • High data and message use (5 baskets)

• Various call durations • On-net, off-net and fixed line calls • Peak, off peak and off off peak

• SMS split between destination and time of day • 7 new mobile data baskets, ranging in volume from 0.5 GB to 50 GB • The default validity is 30 days, but shorter validities can be included

by multiplying the price per period with the number of periods in a 30 day month

OECD 2017 DEFINITIONS• Cover a broad range of user profiles • Ranking mostly changes with the cost of data, it would be

possible to reduce the number of baskets • The highest usage baskets for data also contain large allocations

of voice minutes • It would be unlikely for someone that uses 10GB of data to

also use 1795 voice minutes • OECD prices may be too high:

• Cheaper to purchase multiples of smaller packages to make up a larger data package.

• OECD baskets do not capture how people actually use the internet

• Baskets are not able to capture trends such as separation of access and service platforms

MEASURING SEPARATION OF ACCESS AND SERVICE PLATFORMS

• Measure progress towards the separation of mobile access and service platforms

• If 1 MB of data is vastly cheaper than 1 voice minute or 1 SMS, then OTT use is encouraged

• The index is calculated on country level, based on the cheapest rate in the country so that the data can be easily compiled based on existing ITU data

• RIS can also compute it for all operators within a country to analyse business model

CONCLUSION• The 2017 OECD baskets are a welcomed

modification • The new baskets acknowledge the importance of

mobile data • However, OECD baskets prices look more expensive

than they actually are • When affordability is the prime motivation, OTTs are

dominant and therefore data baskets are the key metric

• We propose a simple index, SASP, that can be compiled using ITU data, to measure the drivers of the separation of mobile access and service platforms
