Transitioning from "Telco" to "Digital Telco" model

Traditional Internet models* not the answer for Telcos …

  • Advertising-funded businesses taking their revenues from a 1% GDP pool shared with other big players
  • Reaching their own growth limitations (online penetration maturing and mobile advertising business models not yet defined properly)

… but opportunities for Telcos lay in the upcoming transformation of wider parts of the economy

  • Security, Education, Public Administration, Heath, Financial Services: representing 35-40% of GDP
  • "Commission/ Revenue share" based business models (typically 3-6% of rev)
  • Leading to an addressable market up to 2% of GDP for players willing to play in these areas

New opportunities from digitalisation "Digital Telco" well placed to capture them

Telcos have key assets …

  • Customers and customer data
  • Go To Market capabilities (retail, brands, marketing…)
  • Network Infrastructure
  • Transaction capabilities (IT/Billing)
  • R&D resources
  • Scale and financial resources
  • … complementing those of other players in the value chain (e.g. software and hardware players) …
  • … therefore creating many opportunities for partnership models, innovative business propositions where Telco can play a major role

* Providing social communication and information&entertainment services (excluding Internet as a sales channel for traditional businesses).

Organic growth: In financial terms, it assumes constant average exchange rates as of January-June 2011, and excludes hyperinflation accounting in Venezuela. Therefore, in OIBDA and OI terms, the first half-year of 2011 excludes the positive impact of the partial sale of our stake in Portugal Telecom (+183 million euros). Telefónica's CapEx excludes spectrum investment and, in 2011, Real Estate commitments in relation to the new Telefónica headquarters in Barcelona.

Underlying growth: Reported figures, excluding exceptional impacts and spectrum acquisition. First half of 2012 also excludes the reduction in the value of Telecom Italia investment and operating synergies achieved (-512 million euros; -358 million euros net of taxes), and also PPAs (-492 million euros; -363 million euros net of tax and minority interests) and difference in market value of BBVA stake (-30 million euros; -21 million euros net of tax and minority interests). Figures for the first half of 2011 exclude value adjustments in relation to the stake in Telecom Italia (-505 million euros; -353 million euros net of tax), the positive impact arising from a partial reduction of Telefónica's economic exposure to Portugal Telecom (+183 million euros) and also PPAs (-564 million euros; -381 million euros net of taxes and minority interests).
