Digital Cities Summit

Getting the Highest Bandwidth to the Largest Number of People: New Models for Private-Public Sector Collaboration

Introduction

Part of the 3rd Telco 2.0™ Executive Brainstorm, this Summit builds on the issues raised at the last event on 28th March in London.

Rationale

The traditional ability of telcos to cross-subsidise access from services revenue is eroding. At the same time, new Internet services suffer from the "Broadband Incentive Problem", which ensures nobody is likely to make fat (or even any) margins from providing high bandwidth access. So how can you broaden the funding base for access networks and generate revenue from new services?

Process

We will follow STL Partners' facilitated 'Mindshare' brainstorming process based on a Telco 2.0™ business model framework and new research into this area. This includes specially briefed stimulus presentations and interactive collaborative technology.

['Mindshare'] is excellent... more intimate than the larger shows, an opportunity to have a real conversation with the audience. Vice President, Major Media Company

Input

New market research from STL Partners; Recruitment of Stimulus Speakers from across the value chain.

Output

A clearer understanding of: the partnership approaches needed between telcos, government (local and central), physical infrastructure providers, regulators, financiers and vendors; new revenue opportunities, growth areas and business cases; ideas for alternative funding vehicles and risk sharing; overcoming go-to-market issues on public-private initiatives.
