Coalition found to be the best way to escape down slide

Coalition among UK network operators has been found to be very important over the last three years. And in the present week, for maintaining revenue, the UK operators were found with greater chances of buyouts. Most strong was the chances of Vodafone buying the T-Mobile’s UK business. This, if done, will be the first merger in the industry’s history.

With the falling profit margins, coalition has become the best path to be taken by operators to control the fall. Vodafone’s UK CEO, Guy Laurence, man about whom I had heard to have done surprising feats in the Dutch market, has been in his office for about six months. Guy had been intimated by many, specially by T-Mobile UK MD, Jim Hyde, about the challenges he would be facing in the UK.

I also got to know that after six months in the office, Laurence had to surrender to the high pressure for the Vodafone in the UK. Vodafone had £1.4bn revenue in the third quarter of 2007 and after that it failed to go above the £1.3bn until March this year.

Since Q3, 2007 profits have continuously been going down from £379m to £295m that was calculated for the final three months and the same was found out for the first quarter of this year. And its period since Q3 2007 has been much more miserable with the £1.14bn revenue in Q3 2007 nosediving straight to £760m for the first quarter this year.

With such downfall, all the operators have been cutting costs to improve profits but Vodafone has been looking forward towards a massive change in its UK market. I heard from some senior Vodafone officer that they changed all they could, and have still not achieved their goal so they would now be changing the playing field. And they found that the T-Mobile to be the most naked company with nobody to push cash into it.

Deutsche Telekom’s young CEO, Renee Obermann had brought in Richard Moat in order to improve business here but now wants to go with the consolidation. Vittorio Colao, the opposite number of Renee was found saying that consolidation made sense in some markets and he expected it to do so here also.

HTC had officially announced its third Android based handset HTC Hero. The phone combines most of the features of the other two handsets and is sure to face a tough competition with Samsung I7500 to secure its place in the full touchscreen Android phone list.

The HTC Hero has a perfect display of the new custom user interface that HTC has designed for Android OS. The HTC Sense takes care of three main principles which are explained below:

Make It Mine: According to this a user can organize the phone according to one’s needs. It gives users a feel that the phone is created by them and so they can make changes as according their wishes. Some user would like to watch the widgets that show twitter updates, weather or other content whereas some users would like information which is business oriented like the email, calender and world- times.

With the HTC Sense application the Facebook status updates of friends and their photos along with their Flicker photos get displayed alongside their text messages, emails and call history all in a single view which seems to be quiet amazing.

Discover the unexpected : there are various memorable moments in one’s life that one cannot explain.

The functions can be as simple as turning the ringing phone to silence and improving the smart dialer for making calls quickly.
