The CEO of Telefónica, Julio Linares has expressed concern about the growing duopoly in the segment of mobile devices (phones, tablets ...) around ecosystems developed by Apple for iPhone and mobile phones based Google for Android.
The executive noted that the two systems control 80% of the smartphone market well ahead of Symbian 9% and 7% of RIM or 5% of Windows Phone that equips new Nokia handsets. "In the last year there has been a big change, but not if in the right direction, I dare say not," said Linares, which states that the differentiation between manufacturers to equip their handsets with the same system tends to be diminishing.
Precisely, blames the increasing similarity in the terminal hardware patent war that has broken out in the field, with Apple, Samsung and Google as major players, especially when vying for a market of 200,000 million in annual sales telephones.
Therefore, the manager of Telefónica considers necessary projects like driving the Spanish multinational Along with the Mozilla Foundation, Qualcomm, handset manufacturers and Internet service companies such as Facebook and Twitter to launch a new operating system OS-Firefox- for smartphones and tablets, expected to be ready in the first quarter of 2013.
Linares stressed that the consumer has become the star of the growing digital environment "more power of decision and choice" that decides in every moment what is the best product and their addiction to mobility. 84% of consumers say they prefer Internet access to a car, 90% have provided their mobile less than a meter away 24 hours a day or 80% of tablet users watch TV and use the tablet at a time. In Europe, in 2015 each user will have more than five different screens to manage their communications, compared to 3.6 today.
Less regulation
Linares believes this new ecosystem in which it is the consumer that imposes its rules should give pause to regulators that instead of worrying about margins and market shares of operators should encourage investment in new network investment broadband, both fixed (fiber optic) and mobile (4G).
Linares, speaking at a seminar organized by telecom bosses AMETIC International University Menendez Pelayo, Santander, has welcomed the radical change that has given the Commission Vice President and Commissioner for the Digital Agenda, Neelie Kroes, who join is driving new regulation to ensure an economic return for operators to invest in their own network, at the expense of so-called alternative using the model of rent regulated prices.
In the same forum, President of the Commission of Telecommunications Market (CMT), Bernardo Lorenzo, has said that the regulation, both European and national, should enable operators to monetize their investments. In this sense, the CMT is preparing a new standard to deregulate the relations between MVNOs (Simyo, MÁSmovil, Jazztel, Pepephone) and network operators (Movistar, Vodafone, Orange and Yoigo), for both sides to negotiate freely their agreements without the supervision of the regulator.
Lorenzo has also stressed the need to reach an international agreement to regulate the so-called cloud services and over the top as WhatsApp or Skype, to ensure the security and privacy of users. "This is to protect users who use these services and provide information to be protected."
"There is a regulation in the traditional sense of prices, but interoperable platforms and privacy and security issues," said Lorenzo. "There is an immediate issue and depends on the CMT but safety should be ensured in a European context."
