  3. WP 8: Overview Overview Effort allocated: 27 man months Effort spent: TBC Partners involved:11 main + others in WPD Deliverables: D8.1 Market Definition and Business Case Document Issues: 3 in this 18 month period • Issue 1 - M21– outline market plan and 1st version of business case • Issue 2 - M25 - updated market research and analysis • Issue 3 - M30 – updated market monitoring 3

  4. WP8: the objectives The objectives of WP8 as stated in the WP description Evaluate whether the DVB-RCS standard is financially viable in terms of return on investment for the main players of the market (Space industry, Telecommunication operators, Software providers, Government representatives (e.g. EU and Worldwide Institution and Regulatory Organisations), Content providers and Regional representatives and local authorities). Identify the methods that will be followed in order to commercialise this technology and explore the benefits for the users. Satellite technologies constitute an infrastructure for the delivery of electronic communication services and a wide area of applications. This market is a commercial one characterized by an intense competition between operators and technologies. Identify of the growth rate he market that the project is referring to (remote/rural areas). 4

  5. WP8: the objectives The “extended” objectives of WP8 as we intended We have tried to extend the analysis in order to fully understand the Rural Wings environment We think it is important to consider the rural Wings applications as a combination of a satellite communication service and educational applications 5

  6. D8.1 report structure • Presentation of the D8.1 report structure • Overview/rationale of the study • User segmentation • Opportunity Index • Main problems so far • Next steps 6

  7. Rationale of the study 7

  8. User Segmentation We have re-grouped the user groups analyzed in D3.1 following more traditional criteria. The segmentation result is: • Residential/SOHO (this include private citizens, professionals working from home) • Public Sector (this includes schools, hospitals, local municipalities) • SME’s (this includes small companies active in the field of farming, tourism and commerce) The reasons: • Market data are structured in this way • This render the groups homogenous in terms of willingness to pay, affinity to services, frequency of use, etc, etc 8

  9. Opportunity index: methodology • The main objectives was to map and quantify the opportunities across Europe for the RW service and applications. The result is a Country rankings based on the following indicators: • Broadband penetration rates • GDP per capita and per household • Internet and number of PCs in schools in rural areas • Internet penetration rates for SME’s with focus on the farming and tourism sectors • Development level of e-government 9

  10. Opportunity index: result 10

  11. Main issues in D8.1 • The main issues in WP8 are: • Work package description could benefit from re-wording. • Objectives need clarification(limited to satellite broadband, do not include educational applications). • Partners contributionsneed better definition. • The scope of the analysis beyond Europeis questionable 11

  12. Next Steps Next Steps • First version of D8.1 uploaded on plone • The area to be improved is: • Country information, in order to have an overview on all the countries involved in the project • A new version of the D8.1 is scheduled for end April 2008 • The area to be completed are • information on pricing • distribution channel • Road map of product and services • First version of Business plan 12

  13. Next Steps Next Steps For the follow on of the project we will address: • A refinement of the objectives • Definition of the area where we want to focus (maybe only few countries?) • A participative approach from all the partners • A meeting/workshop with the partners involved in the WP to agree a common vision 13
