Implications of Device Financing Plans and Lack of Handset Subsidies for Operator Profitability in Europe
MarketResearchReports.Biz
presents this most up-to-date research on "Implications of Device
Financing Plans and Lack of Handset Subsidies for Operator Profitability
in Europe".
Operator
profitability in the mobile segment in Europe is under pressure,
particularly in more mature markets where expensive handsets are often
subsidized in order to drive growth in high ARPU postpaid segments. In
retracting device subsidy offers, operators have the potential to ease
this financial pressure and lower the cost per customer acquisition, as
discussed in Section 1. Such strategic shifts can merit rewards but are
never risk-free. Section 2 contains specific European case studies
(Germany, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Bulgaria) where other
device financing models have been adopted, in addition to the four
operators in the US, with particular focus on financial performance.
Section 3 focuses on the key factors that operators must take into
account when adopting such models (e.g., regulations or consumer
purchasing power) before a summary of key findings and recommendations
is provided.

report, 'Implications of Device Financing Plans and Lack of Handset
Subsidies for Operator Profitability in Europe', part of the GlobalData
series of Telecom Insider Reports for Europe, examines in detail the
dynamics of the mobile devices market in terms of operator handset
financing. Specifically, it includes analysis of strategic drivers and
implications for operators that have moved away from the widely adopted
handset subsidization model, instead looking to alternative methods such
as equipment installment plans (EIPs) and leasing.
T-Mobile
pioneered the EIP in the US telecom market via its Jump! Plan in 2013,
as part of its Un-carrier strategy to simplify and disrupt the consumer
market. Since then, competitors AT&T, Verizon and Sprint have
followed suit and now offer non-subsidized device financing plans. This
report assesses the potential for similar levels of adoption in European
markets.
