De fapt sunt cinci despre piata de telecom de la CEO-ul Orange, Stephane Richard, opinii interesante tinand cont de pozitia detinuta si cum vad operatorii ceea ce se intampla acum in piata:

1. Apple e mai flexibil si mai putin arogant:

Apple has [become] more flexible, paying more attention to everyone else, probably a little less arrogant than they used to be. I think they are probably a little more under pressure, and it is quite nice.

2. iOS + Android domina piata dar operatorii spera ca Blackberry, Windows, Mozilla sau mobile Linux sa ameninte duopolul Apple – Google

And while carriers are rooting for Mozilla, Microsoft, BlackBerry and mobile Linux to emerge as rivals to Android and the iPhone, there’s no way the market is large enough to support that many competitors.
“There is probably not room for everyone,” Richard said. “But all of us hope that among those initiatives, at least one will be able to emerge as a third ecosystem.”

3. Windows phone, direct in engleza:

Richard said that Windows Phone has a “very difficult” road to truly compete with iOS and Android. Richard said devices running the Microsoft-developed operating system are neither better designed nor cheaper, nor do they offer a better application experience than iOS or Android. Put simply, Windows Phone is good but lacks a “wow” factor, Richard said. Making things worse, he said, hardware makers have generally been selling Windows Phones for the same price as the more popular devices.

4. Despre Nokia, tot in engleza:

The Nokia family in my opinion is nice, but there is no ‘wow’ effect,” Richard said. “When you have a market with very steady players like Apple and Samsung, you need to have a ‘wow’ effect.

5. Despre competitia din telecom:

“We are living through incredible competition. He implored regulators to prevent further companies from entering the crowded market. At the same time, Richard acknowledged that this is a case he and other European operators have been making for years.

“It is a little tiring to sing the same song,” he said.

Bonus, despre comisarii UE:

He called one particular regulator “dumb” and said another, while holding a decent view of the marketplace, appears powerless to improve the situation.
