MNOs Revise Strategies To Profit From Demanding Mobile Broadband Device Market, Pyramid Finds

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Many MNOs are revising their strategies to address the demanding mobile broadband devices ecosystem, which is being bombarded with new devices, new features and new market entrants on a monthly basis, according to Stela Bokun, Senior Analyst and Pyramid's Practice Leader for Mobile Devices.

"MNOs are attempting to address the emergence of new devices and their technologies and features, the subsidy schemes and business models some devices call for, the impact of increasing data usage, as well as the delicate balance they must strike between budget constraints and taking advantage of new revenue streams," says Bokun. "These issues, coupled with the fact that the distribution model for mobile broadband devices varies across different regions, as well as device types, leave MNOs in need of practical independent advice on their strategic positioning in the mobile broadband devices value chain."
