Scope

• Targeting the right customer segments through distinct positioning approaches is important to challenger success: Telcos in a market where the incumbent has a dominant position can struggle to gain subscribers and market share across B2B & B2C. Challengers must approach these segments, offering a specific product, service or technological differentiation.
• Challenger operators with a strong mobile footprint or a strong fixed footprint can challenge the incumbent’s position in the fixed or mobile segments through FMC as a customer acquisition tool. Differentiation in bundled services, content, and pricing, is key to carving out a material market share.
• With the advent of FTTH/B and 5G, challenger telcos have the opportunity to further level up and differentiate on coverage and speeds by pursuing a committed rollout strategy.
