Lessons From 3's Success in Raising ARPU

April 2008 (26 pages)

Over the last two years, 3 Group MNO companies in Europe have built a strong position among 3G users and are now reaping the benefits of a relatively predominantly postpay and high ARPU customer base. Despite historic high levels of churn, the group expects to begin delivering positive EBIT before the end of 2008.

  • How has 3 achieved this position, considering it entered markets that were already well supplied in all cases?
  • What are the implications for other MNOs?
  • Will 3's success and strategy translate to other MNOs or is the company a niche provider that need not have a major influence on the approach of other, more established MNOs?
This report examines the position of 3 within Europe and looks at how selected operating companies have approached their market, identifying common themes. The importance of 3's results are then examined and the lessons for other MNOs drawn out. Finally, the report gives appropriate recommendations to assist established MNOs to deal effectively with the level of threat represented by 3.
