4
Why no Service Providers?

• Distracted

• Conservative
• we dont take risks
• Broke

  infrastructure

Hub-and-spoke model

• Point to point services will not work in the long
  run
• Business relationships are too complicated
• Technologically cumbersome
• Operators key position in value chain
• Bundles own and third-party services as a
  trusted partner to consumers
• Economies of scale (marketing, CRM, billing)
