@ TV & Video over DSLLatest Perspective from the Battlefield Brussels, May 17, 2004
KEY MESSAGES • European Telcos need to capture “new” broadband revenues to get back on the growth track • In Europe, TV / Video-over DSL is moving from trial to commercial stage • Profitability is challenging “stand-alone” but TV/VoDSL can create value for a Telco primarily through protection of core voice/internet • Local market dynamics will drive near term opportunities for telcos
MAKING A SUCCESS OUT OF BROADBAND IS A MUST FOR EUROPEAN TELCOS TO GET BACK ON THE GROWTH TRACK… Average European household telecom spending • Key challenges for incumbents: • Secure market share in broadband (competition likely to intensify) • Protect voice revenues (expected rise of VoIP) • Manage fixed-to-mobile substitution (voice value increasingly migrating from fixed to mobile) • Capture revenue from new services (through access and/or entering new industries) As a % of GDP 1 Early 90s (Fixed Telephony) 1.6% 2 Late 90s (Fixed + Mobile Telephony) Mobile revolution 3 3.1% BB revolution?

KEY FINDINGS FROM LATEST TVoDSL DEVELOPMENTS • Wide variety of go-to-market approaches and no clear emergence of winning combinations (offer, price, bundling with other services...) ; still, more early positive signs on all-inclusive offers (Fastweb, Free) than on TV single play offers (France Telecom) • DSL not yet as economically competitive as cable/satellite but cost going down very fast, and emerging strong case for core business protection • Technology is sufficiently mature to move to commercial launch (it works and it works well) – however, it remains a limitation in terms of reach (distance to central office) and convenience (home configuration if PC/TV not in same room in house)
KEY MESSAGES • European Telcos need to capture “new” broadband revenues to get back on the growth track • In Europe, TV / Video-over DSL is moving from trial to commercial stage • Profitability is challenging “stand-alone” but TV/VoDSL can create value for a Telco primarily through protection of core voice/internet • Local market dynamics will drive near term opportunities for telcos
Definition THERE ARE 3 SOURCES OF VALUE FOR TELCOS BEHIND VIDEO • Direct value from video services, i.e. present value of services direct cash flows • Cash in: subscription revenues, one-time revenues (pay-per-view, installation fees) • Cash out: incremental investments, operational costs, content costs • Value from protecting telcos’ core business • Gain in broadband acquisition market share • Reduction of churn (broadband and voice) • Gain in voice market share (video customers returning to telco’s voice) • Economies of scope and scale • Shared broadband acquisition costs (economies of scope) • Improved broadband business case due to accelerated take-up (economies of scale) • Shifts of value due to unforeseen changes • Technology major improvements • Increase in advertising revenues • Much higher penetration than expected today • Direct Value • Indirect Value • Option Value

AND TELCOS STILL HAVE PENDING QUESTIONS, FOR INSTANCE ON BUSINESS MODEL… • Questions • Range of options • Early thoughts • No clear winner • Gradual approach possible (e.g., start with distribution to move to mixed) • All models require new skills for telcos • In-going position in pay-TV market will, in most cases, be detrimental to telco – • A possible ambition, however, may be to get exclusivity on DSL platform Role vis a vis content partners • Distributor: • Telco only distributes existing bouquets and co-brands (e.g., FT) • Mixed : • Telco distributes aggregated content + designs own bundles (e.g., Noos) • Content aggregator: Directly deals with channels (e.g., Fastweb, Free) Target ? Should telco seek exclusive deals? • Telco is the exclusive distributor of Media-co channels • Telco is the exclusive distributor of Media-co channels on DSL platform Today ? • Telco has no exclusivity • Media-co exclusive provider of content to Telco for all content • One or several exclusive content providers for specific categories (e.g., sport) • Telco is not tied up to any exclusive contract
…OR ON CAPABILITIES • TV specific • Value drivers in Pay-TV • Skills required • Ability to attract customers: • Branding • Pricing • Distribution • Ability to retain customers / up-sell • Time watching TV • Satisfaction with program • Branding • Consumer marketing • Product marketing • Distribution sales • CRM • Advanced consumer marketing Revenues The nature of the product and the importance of buying require skills telcos do not have Value Cost of content • Ability to buy at best price • Ability to manage cost of distribution • Negotiation • Legal • Sales & Distribution Costs Other costs (distribution/co-mmercialization)
