Disruptive entrants such as Google and Facebook force telcos to question how valuable is a network?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 12, 2011 -- Rhys Phillip, Partner and Head of Transaction Advisory Services at Ernst & Young, will address this increasingly pertinent and provocative topic at TelecomFinance 2012 Conference and Awards (19th - 20th January at the Grange St. Paul's Hotel, London)

"Under pressure from disruptive entrants such as Google, Facebook and Microsoft, telecoms operators have been focused on creating value by owning and developing their own content. But maybe the network itself is the key differentiator and value driver”, said Phillips.

Debate around The Network Proposition will form the breakfast seminar:

- How important is the network, is it a value proposition or a differentiator?
- Is the Netco/Servco split back on the agenda? Who should own the physical network?
- How should operators deploy cash generated from network outsourcing?
- What’s the value in owning and developing content and applications?

“We are delighted to welcome Rhys back to the TelecomFinance Conference. Last year’s Ernst & Young seminar on Valuation Drivers was standing room only, and one of the event’s most cited sessions. We look forward to challenging some long held views of the telecoms industry,” said Claire Landon, Conference Editor.
