New In-demand “Mobile Broadband for the Masses” Published by MarketPublishers.com
02 Sep 2011 • by Natalie Aster
LONDON – The netbook, being a key catalyst of the changes reshaping the broadband access and mobile computing markets, is emerging as the mobile Internet device of choice for mass-market customers. The immediate outcome of these devices’ arrival in the market is to boost both PC and broadband penetration, especially in the mobile sector.
However, the prospects for these devices are not very clear. OEMs feel the downward pressure on laptop prices caused by inexpensive netbooks and fear cannibalizing sales of top ranking notebooks. Still, the way out for OEMs and broadband operators lies in supporting netbook sales and ultimately up-selling higher-end personalized devices as replacements.
The new research report “Mobile Broadband for the Masses” prepared by Pyramid Research provides analysis of the business case behind bundling netbooks with broadband access for both operators and OEMs, discusses major ongoing performances delivered by those operators that have embraced the use of netbooks, and assesses the value they have been able to extract from netbook sales. The European and the US operators covered include Orange, TMN, T-Mobile and Vodafone. Examples of netbook bundles targeting students as well as the potential for netbook bundle sales in the markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China are also featured.
