With 30% of the European workforce being employed by very small companies, and with many SOHO employees being highly mobile, there is obviously a potentially lucrative market waiting to be addressed. The problem is that although the market is large, the companies that make it up are hugely diverse, with some non-employer enterprises barely making enough money to support their one worker, and others turning over several hundreds of thousands of Euros.
In times of economic uncertainty and when mobile markets are saturated, the importance of the potentially high-spending SOHO segment of the market is further emphasised and MNOs need to address the segment successfully if they are to meet revenue and EBITDA targets set by their shareholders.
This report provides a view of the current potential of the SOHO market segment and how well some MNOs are addressing it and concludes with findings and recommendations essential to any network operator that needs to maximise its return in this area.
