This paper highlights the need for a proactive strategy when developing mobile pricing propositions rather than reacting to competitor initiatives. In the current document we propose a pricing framework that can be applied to voice, data and any new VAS services that may be on the horizon.
In this paper we address and answer the following questions:
What is strategic pricing?
How can we apply a framework to pricing strategy?
What factors must a mobile operator consider in developing a pricing proposition?
How can an operator deliver winning pricing strategies?
How should operators vary pricing for different segments?
How can tariff 'options' be evaluated?
How do competitors, customers and costs impact an operator's strategic positioning?
What are the key elements in the pricing mix?
What innovative voice and data pricing models are emerging?
