Digital Merchants

Digital Content Providers: Increasingly, consumers are driving demand for newer, bandwidth-intensive services, including music, video on-demand, IPTV, sports, multi-player games, interactive news, mobile downloads, electronic publishing (e.g., financial, news), family and educational content, and entertainment services. Content providers can maximize first-mover advantage and grab market share by offering multiple payment options, including non-card options matched to targeted socio-demographic segments. Content providers can also rapidly expand their distribution network by leveraging network operators as a channel for their premium content. Related Solution

Premium Service Providers: Providers of fee-based online services, such as enhanced messaging and communications, VOIP, Wi-Fi, web site hosting, personals, photos, and community applications, continue to see rapid growth with the adoption of broadband, mobile, and online usage across all consumer segments. With so many options, consumers are increasingly looking for more convenient and secure ways to consolidate payment. Providers can attract more consumer segments and increase conversion with additional "No Credit Card Required" payment options that align well with recurring subscription models. In addition, many of these premium services are being bundled and offered by the Network Operators, which presents opportunities for premium service providers to leverage network operators as a new distribution channel.

Online Portals: Every consumer portal wants to grow their active user base, increase stickiness and better segment end-users for advertising purposes. As portals add an increasing number of fee-based services and broadband consumers to their footprint, multiple payment choices, including consolidation onto a single, existing e-wallet or broadband bill can significantly increase consumer acquisition rates. Competition for eyeballs and loyalty is increasing as the consumer now has a broad set of choices - a recurring payment relationship can be an important anchor. Portals also have opportunities to partner, co-market and co-brand with network operators as potential distribution channels for selected services. Related Solution

Internet Service Providers (ISPs): Over 20 million new consumers will come online in next 3 years. These later adopters will be extremely safety and convenience conscious. In addition, a significant number of online consumers will change ISPs in the next 2-3 years, many looking for added value and broader content in addition to basic access. Savvy ISPs can capture significant new revenue opportunities with "No Credit Card Required" payment options that are proven to attract and convert late stage and value-oriented consumers.

Software/Application Publishers: Digital consumption of PC, mobile and network applications has expanded as more segments have high speed access. Both mature and innovative new application providers, including those focused on new security, virus protection and productivity applications, are expanding their delivery models to include monthly and annual fee-based subscriptions. New fee structures that align with customer preferences and deliver recurring revenue require simple and safe payment choices including "No Credit Card Required" options that utilize existing monthly internet and communication service bills. As Network Operators bundle and offer more application services on their portals and bills, software providers can also leverage network operators as active distributors and marketing partners.

Network Operators

Telcos: As basic voice services are increasingly commoditized, and competition from disruptive technologies such as VOIP increases, carriers can leverage their most valuable asset -- trusted and deep relationships with millions of consumers - to create new revenue streams. A strong third party billing strategy can help attract new customers looking for a 'one stop shop' for communications and value-added services. Third-party billing also helps to increase customer retention - more services on a customer's bill reduce the chance that customer will churn. And, offering value-added services on a single bill helps increase revenue per user by pushing consumers to use more content services that drive bandwidth upgrades and line usage. Telcos also benefit from high margin, recurring billing fees from merchants that utilize third party billing services. Related Solution

Broadband Providers: With broadband access setting a record adoption pace - growing from 34 million in 2004 to over 69 million by 2008 - more and more competition drives providers to fight for every new customer. In order to differentiate themselves, broadband service providers must deliver a broad array of content, utility and value-added services in addition to faster and faster commoditized bandwidth. Consumers who view their broadband provider as content and value-added service provider, and on one simple consolidated bill, will be much less likely to switch. Co-marketed and co-billed content relationships enable broadband providers to rapidly offer consumers a wide variety of best of breed services and increase core ARPU, new acquisition and retention. Related Solution

Mobile Operators: As core mobile services become another communications commodity, mobile operators seek to attract and retain consumers with bundled value-added services and ala carte premium content. Enabling m-commerce and adding more utility to each mobile device reduces churn and creates a high-margin revenue stream for operators. Consumers in Europe already view the mobile device as a preferred and secure way to simplify many digital and related small proximity purchases. As an established and trusted provider to their customers, mobile operators can provide consumers the ability to easily purchase and charge small ticket content, subscriptions and value-added services to their mobile bill, whether the consumer purchase is done directly on or off the mobile operator's portal.
