Introduction

Our November 2008 Industry Brainstorm highlighted the growing enthusiasm for development and adoption of two-sided business models, and a common theme running through the proceedings was the untapped potential of telco data. This is a theme we've covered consistently – namely, that locked away within telco data silos are mounds of gold dust posing as sawdust, the by-products of telco service provision.

Each of these has its own significance within a telco context, but each (in aggregated, anonymised form) also possesses significance to advertisers and marketers, as pieces in the customer segment profiling and targeting puzzle, especially when cross-referenced against third party data sources.

This briefing outlines strategies to bring these pieces together and approach the market in a coherent fashion which both enables the market and protects and incentivises customers.

Who should read the report
