Mobiltel enters new era with new brand identity What stays behind the decision for rebranding? Our new identity reveals our change in depth – in our philosophy and in Mtel’s culture as well. Two years ago Mtel acquired two fi xed Internet providers. The deal was a huge step for our company. It helped us enter new areas with strong growth perspectives in fi xed line Internet and IPTV. During the last two years we were able to off er large-scale bundles and to position our company as a full telecom operator. Now, the new vision and brand identity comes to present the long term strategy of Mtel - to position the company as a lifestyle provider. In the centre of this strategy is the customer as a personality and their individual needs. That is why Mtel is the company which provides full telecom solutions. And there is something more, which I like very much - Mtel looks now younger, more attractive and much more fl exible. What will be Mobiltel’s strategy from now on? More converged services. As I already said, the new corporate identity stands for Mtel’s ambition to become a fully convergent communication player by sustaining its innovation leadership. After the acquisition of Megalan and SpectrumNet we changed the market by rolling out the biggest fi bre optic network in Bulgaria and currently we cover close to one million households. In the last year and a half we integrated the operational functions and the people of the three companies. We are ready to support the government with our experience and experts so that this service reaches maximum Bulgarians. Entering into spheres like education and healthcare is very important for the development of the Bulgarian society as well. What is the current state of Bulgaria’s telecom sector in 2012? There is one fact that distinguishes the Bulgarian telecom market from the others. The telecom industry in Bulgaria provides 6% of GDP, which is something unachievable in other countries. Since Mtel was acquired by Telekom Austria Group in 2005, the company has invested more than 800 million euro. Otherwise, the telecom landscape in Bulgaria is highly competitive similar to all European countries. The economic environment is extremely challenging, people and businesses continue to reduce their consumption. In addition we experience regulatory burdens on mobile termination and roaming rates. We observe around 15-20% price decrease every year. As a result, the telecom market is changing – the tendency shows market consolidation. In which sector of the mobile industry do you see biggest gowth potential? Mobile Internet and smart phones proved to have great potential, which is the driver for our investments in the mobile network. Mobiltel has the biggest 3G coverage among the other telecoms on the territory of Bulgaria – 89.50%. We focus our investments on infrastructure in the small cities, not only the central big city of the country, where there is a faster and greater return. Furthermore, we are cooperating with the municipalities to expand the broadband coverage in the most distant regions of Bulgaria. For 17 years the Mobiltel investments in the network and the development of the portfolio of the company cost more than 2.5 billion levs. Cloud services also have growing potential. Last year our company off ered the Bulgarian business a package of "cloud services", including video 15 TOP 100 companies As of end-September Bulgarian wireless operator Mobiltel, with the brand name Mtel, has introduced a new logo and has entirely changed its corporate identity. The new brand of Mtel refl ects the inner change of the company’s philosophy and values. Andreas Maierhofer, CEO, Mobiltel web: www.mtel.bg conferencing, domain registration, e-mail mobile synchronisation, document sharing and more. You say you are an innovative leader and a reliable partner to the business. How do you achieve it in tough times for the Bulgarian business? We have proved our position as a partner through successful practices in the usage of innovative technologies, which do help the business in Bulgaria. We have established a Partnership programme and a special Innovation Centre has been set up with the aim to support the Bulgarian entrepreneurs. We now are in front of the successful end of a pilot project for contactless payments, based on the Near Field Communication technology which converts the mobile phone into a credit card. According to the National Statistical Institute, 98% of the fi rms in Bulgaria are micro or small fi rms, and they ensure more than 50% of the labour in the country. This segment has increased rapidly in the last few years in comparison with the big businesses and is becoming the main engine of the Bulgarian economy. Do you know that 70% of the calls of those business segments are in the Mtel network? That is why Mtel has introduced personalised solutions and personal account managers to the business representatives in Bulgaria. What is the profi le of the Bulgarian customer? The positive feature of the Bulgarian customer is that he is not suspicious. But what we observe is that he is still conservative. The usage of smart phones is still on a lower level compared to other European countries. At the same time, we report constant growth in sales of devices as smart phones and tablets. For example, Mtel showed a 270% growth in sales of tablets last year. The growth of mobile internet consumption in Mtel’s network is around 140% per year.
