The MVNO market in Africa is becoming a dynamic testing ground for telecom entrepreneurs: exciting, compelling, and full of innovation – in other words, a market that truly drives you to differentiate yourself. This webinar is a can’t-miss opportunity to find out exactly what you need to know about launching a new MVNO project in this fast-moving region, straight from an experienced expert. Owen Griffith, CEO of South Africa-based Pharos, will share the insights he has gained from helping both MNOs and MVNOs in Africa leverage new technologies to stay profitable, efficient, and competitive. Over 30 intensive minutes, you’ll learn:
- How you can offer crucial free apps and services to attract customers – without the risk of revenue leakage
- How to integrate policy control with online charging to enable strategic differentiation and highly tailored products
- How successful MVNOs in the real world are using VoLTE, zero-rated services, social bundles, fair-usage policies, location-aware technologies and other tools to increase their profitability and stand out in a competitive market
What to expect:
- In a conversation led by Klaus Haertel of PortaOne, Owen Griffith will discuss what he has learned about the African market: how it’s unique, where it is going, and what you need to consider before you launch your MVNO.
- You’ll learn why policy control is as critical to a modern African MVNO as cockpit controls are to an airplane pilot: the crucial connector between the pilot (your billing and charging system), the packet gateway (the plane), and the passengers (your subscribers).
- Owen will explain why online charging is often misunderstood, and will walk you through real-world case studies of MVNOs in Africa that have leveraged it to create innovative products that are uniquely tailored to fit a specific market need.
- This webinar will also include a live Q&A. Don’t forget to bring your specific questions about PortaOne and Pharos platforms, your own MVNO project, or what strategies can help you succeed in the African market. It’s also an excellent opportunity to connect with your peers in the global telecom industry, so expect some lively conversation in the chat.
