Elmat Mail to our account manager last week: Knowing that this (I'm in Dubai) a real estate based economy. Let me exercise my sales juices here: Indoor coverage was a second thought 15 years ago when charges were high, terminals were expensive and people were used to rely on the fixed line. Today? Indoor coverage is THE deal!! Today mobile is used MORE indoor than outdoor Customer wireless user pattern is: almost 50% placed when indoors, those are studies findings not mine. Operators already know that improving the low performance of in building networks is one of the key solution to improve service. Placing a call outdoor here in the U.A.E in summer? Placing a call outdoor in Finland in winter, and where is forbidden in-car call? When was the last time your fixed line phone rung here? Can a business case be built for that, if economical or technically feasible? Propose for to real estate developers to build a *** indoor coverage solution under the following shared model. * provides project management and the licensed spectrum plus the infrastructure to carry the calls. Real state owner pays for full indoor solution costs. The benefit for developers would be that they would be allowed to charge a roaming fee to any * customer calling from within there. * would share the money but would build an installed base cheaper and much quicker that the traditional way of doing from outside looking in or secure indoor foot print paying nothing. The benefit for * would be to remove all complications of building the network in a traditional manner. Both * and * would benefit of a much faster rollout since the real estate owners have an economical interest in the outcome. TARGETS: First: Semi-private developers building the so-called 'intelligent buildings' and who are investing a lot in the visibility of those type of projects. Target buildings that are just being completed. Second: Then we could also approach with the existing big properties that have already coverage: all major hotels, airports, Malls, Emaar or Nakheel propose for them the same thing. Possibilities: It would still be seen, by the law, as in the competitive spirit but would 'squeeze' * out of those properties. (Did Bill Gates got that money being competitive?) * can try copy the strategy, but being a monopoly they move too slow, and by the time they understand the model *** is ahead in the game. If any other owner would like to share revenue from a roof top or from a site from across his street, it can be argued that it is in an open air and as such cannot be control access and he would never afford the costs of building to have a right to share the revenue.
