Market OpportunitiesProven ARPU
DriverFirst to market opportunity
Multi Device customers are
stickier
Increasing devices per customer account
AT&T & Verizon have 40%+ Shared Data
penetration on post-pay which has driven
up ARPU by 5-10% per account since its
launch in Q2 2012
Operators in EMEA/APAC have a unique window of
opportunity to gain a first to market advantage by
launching Shared Data plans before commoditization
Customers who have committed more
devices per account to an operator are less
likely to churn. AT&T/Verizon post-pay churn is circa 1.2% per month
Verizon has changed their
ARPU reporting to Average revenue
per account (ARPA) as each post-pay
customer averages 2.8 devices

of consumers combined• Where 1 single B2B allowance is shared among multiple
employees

Gifting
‹#›w w w . o p e n e t . c o m© Copyright 2014 Openet – Company Confidential
For Use Under Non-Disclosure Only
• Gifting functionality is being used in Africa to drive up data adoption among feature phone subscribers
• Data adoption in some markets ranges from 20-40% - get more people using and familiar with data – at no cost to them
• Markets with 80-90% data penetration
• The remaining 10-20% of the base need to be brought into the mobile data sphere and many of these users will not have a data plan particularly those in the older demographic. • This group of subscribers would be receptive to a gift of data from a friend or family
member which will encourage them to sign up to a fixed data plan of their own with a smartphone where necessary
• Option to share data for a specific purpose – e.g. view photos, videos. Many people don’t know what data is, but they know what photos or videos of their grandchildren / friends / family are. Don’t confuse data on it’s own as a product.
• Charging the donor for gifting the data will drive additional revenue for the operator
