• Fierce competition between mobile operators
– TDC, Telia, 3, Telenor
• Four mobile networks in Denmark
– High CAPEX and OPEX costs
– Total cost of ownership must be reduced
– Flat rate is poison -> value based pricing
• Network sharing
– Mobile operators become MVNO’s
– Sharing of masts, RAN and CORE NW
Mobile operators in Denmark
Customer needs• The data explosion and LTE demands for increased
capacity in the mobile backhaul leg
– Upgrade from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps on the backhaul
– Difficult for microwave solutions
• Operators need to bring down costs of operating their networks
– Network sharing & MVNO model
– Calls for a neutral player in this busines
• Teracom is in a unique position to offload the operators and lower their TCO costs
• Teracom can utilize its current infrastructure to offload mobile operators
– Wireless backhaul, operator-interconnect
– Utilizing dark fibre infrastructure and Carrier Ethernet technology
• Teracom can offer bundled products
– Mast positions, housing & backhaul connectivity
• Connectivity trading (CloudStreet)
– Publish available fibre capacity as Carrier Ethernet Exchange operator in the cloud

Next steps in Denmark
• Our core business is pay-TV – but network infrastructure is our foundation
• Review expansion into Wireless backhaul
• Agreements with other mobile backhaul providers – Network sharing
• Decide on vendors, implementation schedule
