Mobile Broadband Drivers

  • Software applications on a mobile

device that allow it to perform specific tasks, e.g. access specific information via a website, make payments and

  • ther transactions, play games, send

messages

  • Can be pre‐installed or downloaded via

the mobile network

  • Proprietary or open systems
  • From SMS-based to IP-based,

depending on device

Proliferation of mApps or mServices

  • Financial Services: mobile payment

and banking, wage and social benefit payments, financial literacy, savings and insurance

  • Health services: basic medical

records management, diagnostics, disease surveillance, supply chain, training

  • Learning and education: mobile

educational games, classroom support

  • Farmer information services and

help-lines

  • r related to call centers that are used to triage services and

treatment; information to help health worker prioritization; information on inventory (Note: overlaps with supply chain management) Use of smart-cards, vouchers, insurance and lending for health services linked to mobile platforms (e.g., m-Pesa) or otherwise enabled using mobile Usage of mobile handheld devices to collect data remotely (e.g., by community health workers); additionally, use of remote diagnostic tools for disease surveillance and treatment; includes civic participation in reporting outbreaks and disease information Management of inventory and supply chain steps by mobile tracking and communication; includes advocacy informed by supply chain information Use of mobile and SMS-based health information and education to inform individual patients of preventive care and treatment Utilization of messages and voice to communicate treatment and procedural reminders to patients (e.g., automated SMS reminders to patients on chronic medication)

mApps: Early Development Impacts

17 Increased income through better access to market information Higher-yield production Improved efficiency in supply chain Tradenet 23% premium on produce Lower information asymmetry between farmers and brokers KACE 75% of farmers & 60% of commodity traders report increased income Virtual City Typically 9% increase in income for each small scale farmer Produce volumes increased Transaction time reduced from 3 minutes to 22 seconds Cost of delivery reduced by 75% Drumnet Farmer's income increased by 32%. Easier access to agricultural inputs Agricultural input suppliers gain economies of scale Bank credit worthiness increased Reduced transaction costs for financial institutions Kulimo Salama $150 increase in income per smallholder /farmer 50%+ improvement in production due to insurance on high yield inputs Farmers in 1st year insured 10-20% of their inputs, increased insurance to 50% of inputs in the next year More efficient value chain leads to lower retail costs B2BPricenow. com Direct access to buyers improves sales More efficient payment to members via secure payment layer Total volume of trade since inception (year 2000) = $30 mil. Farmers texting centre (FTC) Planting varieties with higher yields 20% reported increases in production eDairy Additional income of $262 per additional calf due to more timely access to veterinary services Milk production can increase by 30% Accurate prices at delivery point compared to prices confirmed days after delivery in the past

mApps for Development: Experience

  • Currently, most applications tend to be simple (e.g. data entry, SMS

reminder) with single purpose

  • Early indications of positive impact, on small scale
  • Mobile money is a foundation for other m-applications in various sectors,

enabling more sophisticated applications (e.g. crop insurance)

  • Limited commercial viability of most ventures so far
  • Telecom operators’ incentives need to be aligned to contribute
  • Awareness raising and training needs to be built into business model as

well as rigorous financing planning

  • Significant investment in back-end databases/information systems would

be needed to support scaling up

  • Mobile broadband platform offers significant opportunities with the right

business model

Government Roles in Broadband Development

  • Governments can stimulate more competitive service provision and

increased investments in mobile broadband, through:

  • Spectrum reforms: additional spectrum for 3G operators, spectrum re-

farming to allow use of 850 and 900 MHz for 3G to realise cost savings and increase coverage; in-band migration 2G-3G-4G; making available 700 MHz band (e.g. from digital switchover) and/or the 2.5 GHz band.

  • Unified licensing: transition away from vertical, service and

technology-specific licensing to technology and service-neutral regime (several models).

  • Open access to infrastructure: at active layers (separation of access &

service provider roles of operators )and passive layers (buildings, ducts, pylons, dark fibre). Allowing non-telecom service providers to build passive infrastructure.

19

Approach Leading country examples 1 Competitive tender &/or Government initiative to build new backbone &/or access infrastructure, including use of universal services funds or similar Canada, Chile, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, other USF countries 2 Create / Underwrite Demand Malaysia, Singapore, OECD countries 3 Stimulate Private Demand in the ICT Sector – e.g., PC initiatives, industry & educational initiatives, local services Korea, China, Egypt, Thailand, OECD countries 4 Regulatory Reform, liberalisation, competitive fixed & unified licensing, creative spectrum policies Pakistan, India, S. Africa, Chile, Brazil, Peru, New Zealand, Germany, UK, USA 5 Integral part of an Economic Stimulus package (1.38% GDP growth/10% Internet penetration) USA, UK, Canada, Japan, Finland, Singapore, Korea, Australia

Policies and Regulations

  • Spectrum reforms: additional spectrum for 3G operators,

spectrum re-farming to allow use of 850 and 900 MHz for 3G to realise cost savings and increase coverage; in-band migration 2G-3G-4G; making available 700 MHz band (e.g. from digital switchover) and/or the 2.5 GHz band.

  • Unified licensing: transition away from vertical, service and

technology-specific licensing to technology and service- neutral regime (several models).

  • Open access to infrastructure: at active layers (separation of

access & service provider roles of operators )and passive layers (buildings, ducts, pylons, dark fibre). Allowing non- telecom services providers to build passive infrastructure.

Infrastructure Investments

  • Governments can provide funding or partial funding for

extension of backbone networks to commercially more marginal areas, particularly in developing countries—to stimulate mobile broadband access

  • Direct investments: through national budgets, donor-funded

programs, special funds – Subject to national budget priorities; and on role of public sector in telecoms service provision

  • Catalytic investments/partnerships:

– Universal service funds: competitive tenders, capital subsidies, reverse auctions – Consortium participation

21

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Demand Aggregation

  • Governments can stimulate investment in broadband

particularly outside major commercial centres by pooling national and/or local government demand and offering mServices

  • Leveraging ICT in Education programs in developing countries

(school broadband access). Many Government programs to provide connectivity to schools.

  • Business support services (national, local level): e.g. online

permits, licenses, land administration

  • E-procurement: informational and/or transactional
  • Trade facilitation services e.g. customs clearances,

quarantine, other certifications
