Tele2 cuts EBITDA outlook on Dutch expansion plans
2015-10-21 08:37:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Tele2 has trimmed its EBITDA outlook for 2015 as it accelerates the launch of its own mobile network in the Netherlands. Tele2 started migrating its own customers to the new network earlier this year and the company said it will now open the services to anyone, as network roll-out progressed faster than expected. This will lead to higher costs in Q4 and lower annual EBITDA of SEK 5.6-5.8 billion, compared to an earlier target fo SEK 5.8-6.0 billion. Tele2 still expects group revenues of SEK 25.5-26.5 billion in 2015 and mid single-digit growth in mobile service revenues. In the third quarter, mobile service revenue was up 5 percent, helping to offset a drop in fixed telephony and broadband revenue. Total sales rose to SEK 6.791 billion from SEK 6.584 billion a year ago. EBITDA already started to feel the impact of the spending in the Netherlands as well as the weaker fixed operations and fell to SEK 1.599 billion from SEK 1.682 billion. The margin dropped to 24 percent from 26 a year ago. Net profit nearly halved to SEK 397 million from SEK 726 million, hurt by an impairment on goodwill in Estonia of SEK 197 million, restructuring costs and a revaluation of the put option in Kazakhstan on currency fluctuations.

Dutch still lukewarm about curved screens - Telecompaper
2015-10-09 16:42:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Will smartphones with curved displays reach the mainstream? Consumers have not yet made their mind about the matter, according to research by Telecompaper, conducted among its Consumer Panel in September. Samsung and LG introduced smartphones with curved screens last year, with Huawei and Xiaomi also planning to release similar devices. Still, most manufacturers are sticking to standard displays, not only because it is more practical, but also cheaper. Although the market for smartphones with curved screens is still taking baby steps, the outlook is positive. IHS recently released the results of a global survey, looking at this type of smartphone. The study expects foldable displays will account for 51 percent of the total number of displays for mobile devices shipped in 2020. Not only will established handset manufacturers increasingly use such displays, but start-ups also will use them to come up with new applications.

The number of Dutch people who actually use mobile payments is still only 3 percent. Interest has grown, if slowly. In March, 31 percent of Dutch found the option interesting, compared. The number of people who do not find mobile payment options interesting fell in the same period, to 38 percent in September from 44 percent in March. Telecompaper also looked at the willingness people might have to activate a mobile payments system, via NFC technology, for example instance. About half said they would download a free app while a third would be prepared to trade in their Sim card for a free Sim suitable for NFC payments. Some were ready to pay up to EUR 5 for a payment service, by buying a Sim card (11%) or through a paid app (9%). Compared to March however, willingness to pay has decreased somewhat.
