11. Some examples of MVNO Models
Telephony
• Cheap (SIM only, large bundles, no-frills, VoIP)
• Target segments (youth, minorities, cheap international destinations)
• Cheap roaming (multi-IMSI, international players)
Leverage point-of-sales locations or distribution

16. Will the current “issuer-centric” world become a
“customer-centric” world?
Rabo Mobiel wants to move customers themselves to the
centre of the card ecosystem. A connected device, card/ID
with a screen and keyboard can help do that…

18. Some thoughts on the impact of NFC
NFC Handsets NFC Standardisation
GMSA statement in 11/2008 @ GSM World Standardisation for standardisation’s sake
Asia on NFC and SWP means a lot. Why was alone is not (a priori) a business goal.
there no serious industry reaction to it?
Mifare support is key in many countries.
3GSM in Barcelona in 03/2009 means a lot.
NFC was basically invisible and not on any Solving the technical issues won’t be enough

For service providers taking NFC seriously, en masse?
GSM has both benefits and drawbacks.
19. NFC: Mobile Operators vs. Service Providers
SE form factor, a critical issue for banks. But, does it really matter so much?
More the cashflows and clearing model that matters.
However, with SWP, mobile operators will be primarily B2B enablers in NFC,
service providers will be primarily B2C and provide the application and the
environment for it’s interaction.
Rabo Mobiel is both; which is highly interesting from a learning perspective.
B2B? B2C?

MVNOs
“Who owns the customer?” Silly question. If anyone does, all of us do
somewhat. However ... NFC customer support? (NFC transaction, TSM activity)
20. Banks and the Role of the TSM (in a SWP future)
Many TSMs in one national mobile or payment ecosystem inter-working to
manage similar applications on mobile phones probably won’t really work.
How to fit existing NFC “TSMs” into a larger NFC TSM (e.g. TransLink, Oyster)?
What is the scope and limits of the TSM role? Pretty much everyone has a
different opinion. Isn’t the real question: What are the successful building blocks
of a healthy NFC ecosystem?
LARGER “TSM” ROLE?
