News & Music
• Very important to get business model right for this to work
• Only free/ad based models will succeed in the long run
• ‘Second screen’ is mostly associated with streaming and requires connection once the user interacts.
• Popular TV channels can create apps tailored for second screen experience
• Novelty wears off and then there is limited interaction
26

Second Screen
• The question is, do you want to use LTE-B for emergency alerts or rely on other techniques
27

Emergency alerts
• Including the Broadcast content in ‘data allowance’
• Discouraging users with ‘high premium’ for watching Broadcast content
• Killing the battery with unnecessary ‘caching’
• No ‘unique’ or ‘tailored’ content. Other medium for similar content may be cheaper.

Are you just going to tell me the problems or do you have any
solutions?
‘DL only’ 4G for Tablets 32
Public – © eXplanoTech Ltd. 2014
• ‘Downlink only’ 4G radio • ‘No Uplink’ on 4G • Listens to common
channels • Listens to
Broadcast/Multicast channels
• Connectivity over Wi-Fi for any configuration of Apps or radio for tuning
• Would only make sense if additional cost is $10 of less.
‘Sponsored Broadcast’ 33
Public – © eXplanoTech Ltd. 2014
• Too many ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ in case of normal sponsored data
• ‘Sponsored Broadcast’ can work similar to traditional TV model

‘Apps’ can point to ‘Broadcast’ information 34
Public – © eXplanoTech Ltd. 2014
• This can work very well as long as apps can generate some revenue
• Operators would need to expose new API’s
‘User-generated’ TV channel 35

• ‘2 minutes of fame’ for everyone interested
• Adverts can be used as fillers
• Users can be provided ratings and community can be built around it
Concluding Remarks 36
Public – © eXplanoTech Ltd. 2014
Don’t expect returns Loyalty is more valuable than money
Unique content is needed Avoid complex billing
