VODAFONE GERMANY NEXT-GENERATION NETWORK AGREEMENT WITH DEUTSCHE TELEKOM

 

Vodafone Germany (“Vodafone”) today announced a next-generation network access agreement with Deutsche Telekom (“DT”) which will allow Vodafone to offer high-speed fixed-line broadband and internet protocol-based TV (“IPTV”) services across Germany.

 

Vodafone will initially use DT’s VDSL network under a bespoke “Layer 3” (IP-based) bitstream agreement. This will allow Vodafone to offer its customers connection speeds of up to 50 Mbps (rising to 100 Mbps once DT has deployed vectoring technology) as well as Vodafone’s own on-demand and broadcast IPTV services. The two companies have also agreed that a new, more advanced “Layer 2” (ethernet-based) bitstream product will be made available by DT to Vodafone from 2016, which will allow an even greater level of differentiation and control over the design and delivery of the services that Vodafone offers to consumers and enterprise customers.

 

The agreement, which is subject to approval by the Federal Network Agency, marks a significant further expansion of Vodafone’s strategy to offer unified communications services in European enterprise and consumer markets. It follows announcements including an agreement with Orange in Spain to build a new fibre to the home network, announced in March 2013, and the acquisition of Cable & Wireless Worldwide in the UK, completed in July 2012.

 

Vodafone Group Chief Executive for Northern and Central Europe, Philipp Humm, said: “Our agreement with Deutsche Telekom will greatly enhance our ability to offer our German customers a range of competitive, high-speed broadband and TV services, in addition to our industry-leading mobile services, in line with our broader Europe-wide strategy.”

MOBILE TO ENHANCE WORKERS’ FINANCIAL SECURITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND WORKPLACE SAFETY

 

·                 Six mobile services bring secure wage payments, learning programmes and workplace safety reporting to workers in emerging markets

 

The Vodafone Connected Worker report, published today, says mobile money payroll (mPayroll) could enable secure, cost-effective wage payments to be made to millions of unbanked workers by 2020, reducing corruption, lessening the risk of payday robbery and reducing the time spent travelling and waiting to receive cash wages.

 

mPayroll, one of the six mobile solutions identified in the report, will give people greater control over their finances, enabling simple onward payment of bills and remittances to family members using mobile money without having to pay ‘cash-in’ charges, says the report, commissioned by Vodafone with research undertaken by Accenture across 12 markets (DRC, Egypt, Fiji, Ghana, India, Qatar, Lesotho, Mozambique, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania and Turkey).

 

mPayroll is already being implemented by Safaricom in Kenya, where mobile text payment service M-Pesa is paying exam supervisors across 60,000 schools. Recent research by USAID found these workers welcomed the time saved by not having to collect payments, the guarantee of being paid on time - particularly in the rainy season when trucks carrying wages are often delayed - and the ability to be paid without a bank account. This has reduced the cost of making these payments to workers by 86 per cent. The report says mPayroll could be used by 48 million workers, as well as offer business savings of US$2.8 billion annually.

 

Vodafone Connected Worker also highlights that mobile phones can be used to improve, and potentially, save lives in global supply chains.  High mobile phone penetration in emerging markets enables purchasers to conduct anonymous text-based surveys quickly and cheaply across their supply chains to gather information on safety and work environment issues, says the report.  Companies are increasingly focused on ensuring working conditions and pay in their global supply chains are acceptable. The Worker Panel mobile solution enables the gathering of anonymous data directly from factory, industrial and agriculture workers regularly and in real-time.

 


 

Vodafone Connected Worker found that the six identified mobile services could have wider financial benefits for organisations, saving them $30.6 billion by 2020 through improved productivity, while providing $7.7bn of financial benefits to workers.

 

Other mobile solutions identified in the report include:

 

·

mIdentity solutions can be used to enhance corporate security and provide authentication for workers when dealing with customers. By 2020, this could reach 16 million people and offer organisational benefits of US$1.5 billion annually.

 

 

·

Job Finder offers a subscription-based service to match workers to jobs. It has the potential to reach 49 million workers and could match 12 million workers to jobs annually by 2020, improving livelihoods by US$5.6 billion.

 

 

·

Fieldforce Enablement provides remote access to corporate systems and facilitates better scheduling, enhancing the productivity, safety and effectiveness of workers. These services could reach over 30 million users, delivering organisational benefits of US$24.9 billion annually by 2020.

 

 

·

mLearning could deliver basic skills training in literacy and numeracy as well as job-related training via mobile. mLearning has the potential to reach 12 million workers and benefit organisations by US$1.4 billion annually by 2020.

 

 

Andrew Dunnett, Vodafone Group’s Director of Sustainability and Director, Vodafone Foundation, says: “Mobile solutions have the potential to improve workers’ lives and save money in the boardroom, helping organisations improve productivity, transparency and security. Whether it is mobile monitoring of the supply chain or using a mobile phone to pay wages, the potential for positively transforming the workplace in these markets, for both employers and workers, is significant.”

 

Justin Keeble, Managing Director, Accenture Sustainability Services, Europe, Africa and Latin America, says: “Mass ownership of mobiles in emerging markets enables western brands to connect directly to workers in global supply chains. Using simple SMS messages, brands can monitor workplace conditions in real time - supporting improved labour standards and workplace safety.”

Notes to Editors

 

About Vodafone Connected Worker

Mobile communications has the potential to significantly improve the quality of working life and simultaneously deliver commercial benefits to organisations operating in emerging economies.  While workers and employers face many challenges in these markets, the 12 Vodafone markets Vodafone Connected Worker covers demonstrate strong growth potential and innovation. The report, commissioned by Vodafone, in conjunction with Accenture Sustainability Services, looks at six opportunities that can create shared value for both workers and the organisations that employ them, and demonstrates how mobile technology can help to do this. The report aims to stimulate engagement between mobile operators, governments, NGOs and businesses, to develop new solutions to transform opportunity into innovation.

VODAFONE FOUNDATION LAUNCHES SEARCH FOR TRANSFORMATIONAL APPS

 

Vodafone Foundation today announces the launch of the first Mobile for Good Europe Awards to search for iOS and Android apps designed to improve people’s lives and deliver substantial public benefit.

 

Creators of the winning apps, in categories including accessibility, mobilising public services, health and education, will receive a shared prize fund of €200,000 to be used for the development of their innovations.  Mobilising Public Services will focus on how local and national governments can leverage mobile technology to improve the delivery of public services. The closing date for entries is 15 October and an awards ceremony will be held in Brussels on 5 December 2013.

 

The awards build on the success of the Vodafone Foundation’s Smart Accessibility Awards, held in 2011 and 2012, which was a competition to find Android apps which improve the lives of those with disabilities and the elderly. Last year’s winners included Juan Carlos Gonzalez Montesino, who designed Ablah, an app to help his autistic son communicate.

 

Judges of the Health category will be searching for innovative solutions to overcome challenges in areas such as real-time patient monitoring and the collection and distribution of health-related data.  For the Accessibility category, which follows on from last year’s Smart Accessibility Awards, judges will look for apps which can improve the quality of life for those with disabilities or the elderly. The Education category judges will look for mobile apps which provide simple and effective teaching tools. In each of the four categories, the winner will receive €30,000, second place wins €15,000 and third place receives €5,000. There will be local workshops organised for the developers in Berlin, Amsterdam and Madrid. The Mobile for Good Europe Awards is a partnership with AGE Platform Europe and the European Disability Forum.

 


 

Vodafone Group Sustainability Director and Director of the Vodafone Foundation Andrew Dunnett said: “Mobile technology has the potential to educate, liberate and empower hundreds of millions of people. We hope the Mobile for Good Europe Awards will inspire innovators to invest in new and creative ways to use mobile to enhance individual daily lives and deliver substantial public benefits.”

VODAFONE & CHINA MOBILE WITHDRAW FROM MYANMAR TELECOMS LICENCE PROCESS

 

Vodafone Group Plc (“Vodafone”) and China Mobile Limited (“China Mobile”) today announce their decision to withdraw from the process to award two telecommunications licences in Myanmar.

 

The Vodafone-China Mobile consortium was amongst twelve short-listed applicants due to submit their final bid to the Myanmar authorities on 3 June. Following the publication of the final licence conditions on 20 May, the Vodafone-China Mobile consortium has reached the decision not to proceed with the process as the opportunity does not meet the strict internal investment criteria to which both Vodafone and China Mobile adhere.

 

Vodafone and China Mobile will continue to watch Myanmar’s progress with interest and will give due consideration to any future opportunities that would meet the companies’ investment criteria.
