 Welcome to ITU Telecom World 2018 here in Durban, South Africa. We're very pleased to be joining the studio today, Mr. Pascal Prott, who is the Chief Technical Officer for LEGOS, which stands for the Local Exchange Global Operation Services. And you're based in Paris. And you've come here to Durban to talk about mobile virtual network operators, MVNOs. I wanted to ask you, perhaps you could very briefly explain what are MVNOs and what key role do MVNOs play in today's ICT landscape? Sure. So MVNOs are virtual operators, as you just recalled. And MVNOs are the tool that any other operator can use to boost his market. That's how the MVNO started in the early days of the deployment of mobile infrastructure. So now it's a different story because infrastructure are deployed and MVNOs are here. They're here to stay, they're here to grow. And they allow the MNOs to expand, to segment their market. They allow the MNOs to gain some agility on their markets. And starting from a pure either distribution or IT perspective, now MVNO are building their own core networks. They're building their interconnections. So they are now just leasing the radio networks, but they can play on every parameter, every setting of the services. So that's how MVNOs can segment their market and get market shares and grow hands with the MNOs. And what are the key trends to be watching for in the MVNO industry? Today we're talking about communities. So of course we have all the GAFAs, the Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and so on, which created big communities. And these communities are kind of fighting against the operators' communities, or the MNO communities. When you're an MVNO, you can work with the GAFAs communities. You can work with other communities. And because you're much more agile than the MNOs, you can have very specific offers targeting those communities. In terms of obstacles in the market, what do you think they might be and how might they be overcome? Most of the obstacles were for the MNOs because they had the network and infrastructure to deploy, so they had to find some landscape to put some towers and antennas and so on. These kind of obstacles are behind them. But now they have kind of old IT infrastructures, so the MVNOs would bring more up-to-date and agile IT infrastructure, and they're also proposing to the market and to their MNO partner convergence services, both in terms of IT and operational services like voice and data convergence service, fixed and mobile convergence service, text messaging and instant messaging services. So all these convergence services can be only marketed by MVNOs because MNOs have kind of very isolated waterproof boxes that they've built across the many years they've been operating. Talking about rigidity and flexibility, what would you like to see out of regulatory environments? Well, Legos is the first operator who's deploying abroad on a regional basis. It's services both fixed and mobile. So what we found, not only in France, but across Europe is some kind of regulatory framework we can claim, we can travel with and have more of just an adaptation of our model to each individual state. So that gives us a good advantage to quickly deploy across Europe. That's what we've done. We're just kicking off Asia and now we're looking at Africa. That's why we're here in Durban. So we're now expecting the regulatory agencies to kind of have a regional framework an African framework, an Asian framework, a Latin framework that could be comparable to what we know how to work with in Europe, which is not a unique regulation, but which is a regulation which has just some flavors in the individual states. And when we're talking about Africa, which more than 50 states, it's really something to start from scratch on each state. So we want to be able to have some type of countries where we could deploy this infrastructure in a certain way and another one with a limited number of plans and way to do the business and not 50 plans, of course. Finally, what's the value of attending events such as ITU Telecom will for you? I just said it. Meeting the regulatory agencies, meeting the MNOs, meeting the Ministry of Telecoms, and that's it. And that's the best place to do it. That's good. Thank you very much indeed. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you.
