Patni, Get Connected Team for 'Webhelp 24/7' Online Directory Service
Patni Computer Systems Ltd., a provider of IT services and business solutions, has partnered with UK charity Get Connected to build a new online directory service, 'Webhelp 24/7', that will help young people find solutions to a wide range of issues, from coping with mental illness to learning disabilities.
The new directory service is designed to encourage young people who are reluctant to discuss their problems over the phone, and feel more comfortable with an online service, to make contact with Get Connected. They can then choose the source of help they prefer.
Research undertaken by Patni, as part of the development project, revealed young men aged between 18 and 24 in particular prefer to seek information online. Worryingly, only 6% of young men would seek professional help for emotional problems. This means that a group of 'lost boys' are missing out on the help they could receive from a broad range of charities in the UK.
The launch of 'Webhelp 24/7' is timed to coincide with the charity's ten-year anniversary celebrations at the House of Lords. Hosted by Charles Dunstone - Chief Executive of The Carphone Warehouse, a major supporter of Get Connected, and the Baroness Morgan of Huyton, the event will bring together high profile figures from government and business as well as supporters and volunteers who have made Get Connected a success over the past decade. Get Connected has also been chosen as Patni's Charity of The Year for the EMEA region.
Fiona Clark, Interim Chief Executive of Get Connected, said, "Our commitment is to provide a valuable service and offer emotional support to young people in need of help, who would not necessarily find it easy to track down the right source of information for their particular problem. We're delighted to welcome Patni as our latest partner. Their dedication to the 'Webhelp 24/7' project has enabled us to expand the range of ways that young people can access help, particularly by those who, for whatever reason, prefer to surf than chat."
Derek Kemp, Global Head of Telecommunications, Patni, said, "We see the service that Get Connected provides as invaluable to young people in the UK and congratulate Get Connected on its 10th anniversary."
"It's always vital to remember that technology moves on all the time - and that young people in particular like to use new and different channels, verified by our research. We are pleased to have been invited to contribute to this project and look forward to a long association with Get Connected as a platform to reach out to those seeking support," added Kemp.
T-Mobile & Orange Move to Upset UK Status Quo
UK mobile network operators T-Mobile and Orange announced earlier this week exclusive negotiations to combine their UK operations into a 50:50 joint venture. Based on December 2008 figures, the combined entity would have 28 million subscribers and 37% market share.
The first thing to note about this announcement is that it is for exclusive negotiations. The deal is unlikely to be signed until the end of October, with completion expected in the first half of next year. In their briefing call, both parties were keen to stress that the two brands would operate separately for a further 18 months, with a new brand not expected to launch until 2012 (maybe not the best idea when the Olympics come to London and global branding efforts to thousands of roamers are undermined). Therefore, there is still a long way to go and in the short term the deal will change very little.
However, assuming the deal goes through without a hitch, it does realign the UK competitive landscape. To date the two separate operators have struggled to close the gap on Vodafone and O2. The combined entity would not only become the clear market leader, but the synergies (through network integration, marketing and distribution, and other efficiencies) are promised to be £620 million by 2014, thereby improving profitability immensely.
It is important to remember too that Orange's fixed broadband assets are also included in the deal, so the combination would enable T-Mobile customers to receive integrated offerings. This should not be overstated, but for T-Mobile the lack of a fixed strategy was leaving it somewhat exposed to future trends in the UK.
The T-Mobile/Orange merger sets the stage for a total transformation of the UK mobile market and poses the question of the response from Vodafone, O2 and 3. Unsurprisingly, 3 will be the most affected as the merger cuts it adrift in the market. With a market share of less than 6% it would become too small to compete realistically and would have to reconsider its presence in the UK, either by becoming an MVNO or exiting the market.
For Vodafone, this merger is a blow as it relegates it to third in its domestic market. This will dent the group’s ego, and Vodafone must take steps to ameliorate it. Even a takeover of 3 will not be sufficient. However, given the recent cosiness between Vodafone and BT, this might just become the prompt for Vodafone to tie-up with BT and take the initiative in its domestic market as an integrated telco.
O2 and Virgin Mobile will be less impacted. O2 will lose its market leadership, but it has successfully challenged the market leader before, both in the UK and Germany. Therefore we do not see any drastic response from it. Virgin Mobile's involvement will be limited to where its wholesale deal resides. If regulators compel T-Mobile/Orange to spin off the deal, then Virgin Mobile will get ready to work with a new partner.
While the 37% market share of the combined Orange/T-Mobile business looks big, comparisons with Europe make it look reasonable. Market leaders in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal have similar shares. Indeed, regulators will look at a broader definition of dominance when approving the deal.
Regulators will have to look at the Virgin Mobile wholesale deal with T-Mobile and T-Mobile's network-sharing deal with 3. We expect the Virgin Mobile deal to be decoupled - Orange/T-Mobile tacitly suggested this by separating out Virgin Mobile's customers in their subscriber data. Regulators will likely encourage the continuation of T-Mobile's network-sharing deal with 3, unless 3 becomes a takeover target itself. Finally, negotiations about spectrum re-farming are unlikely to be solved with this merger and the expected government plan should still materialize.
Ultimately, as long as regulators impose the necessary safeguards, we do not believe the deal is bad for consumers. Competition is good for consumers, but with five major players the UK operators were competing themselves to death and badly needed to consolidate. The UK's operators face many challenges, including recouping the billions invested in 3G; expanding and upgrading network coverage; and getting ready for 4G - and all this without seeking any government subsidy. Therefore, something needed to be done.

NEC Produces World's Smallest Class All-in-One Compact Core Network System (EPC) for LTE
Each compact system is capable of simultaneously accommodating nearly 300,000 subscribers while controlling more than 1,000 LTE base stations. All functions are loaded into compact, blade integrated AdvancedTCA(R)(5), chassis. This provides the operator with a flexible and reliable way of moving to 4G.
The Compact EPC system can support LTE trials and small scale LTE commercial services. When the number of subscribers increases, large scale network expansion can easily be implemented by adding more blade capability, which provides deployment flexibility for growing operators. Moreover, the seamless connection of LTE networks to a wide range of existing networks, including GSM/WCDMA/CDMA/WLAN, etc., can be implemented in line with the demands of mobile communications carriers.
EPC is a core network system that controls LTE base stations. Both EPC and LTE are currently moving towards standardization promoted by 3GPP(*6), a standardization body for mobile communication systems. NEC's EPC are built in compliance with 3GPP mobile communications standards.
"We have seen caution surrounding LTE in today's market, but NEC is fully committed to providing cost effective LTE solutions that cause minimal disruption," said Dr Shahram Niri, Director of Global LTE/SAE Strategy & Solutions, NEC Europe. "Our new EPC aims to provide a flexible platform that offers operators a smooth, simple and seamless evolution from their existing networks at the lowest total cost of ownership possible. NEC was the first end to end solution vendor offering EPC in Japan and is contributing to the early momentum of LTE by providing radio access, core and terminal elements of LTE networks. As a consequence we have learned many valuable lessons that allow us to meet operators' needs. NEC's new EPC enables a variety of options, such as centralized or distributed deployment, as well as different degrees of EPC node integration (MME, S-GW and P-GW) from a compact all in one package," he added.
NEC is proactively developing LTE/EPC, including its September 2009 announcement regarding compact outdoor wireless LTE base stations (www.nec.com/lte). Looking forward, NEC will continue contributing to the creation of mobile networks through next generation communications systems as a total supplier of LTE/EPC solutions, including communications infrastructure and devices.
