Regulatory and revenue challenges posed by mobile internet

The entry of trailblazers, like Netflix, WhatsApp, Apple, Google and Facebook, have changed the landscape of the telecom regulatory sector. The rapid rise of OTT and social media platforms that draw on the strengths of mobile internet data have resulted in loss of regulatory control over a largely opaque faction of the telecom industry. Unregulated OTT players cost the government massive revenue losses every year. Increasing competition between traditional telecom players and unconventional OTTs also have undesirable consequences, in terms of lack of visibility and tax revenue erosion for the government.

The innovative Mobile Internet Reporting and Tracking Component enables telecom operators to turn these challenges into opportunities – improving margins and increasing revenue for the government. The digital tool enables regulators to monitor and address digital and financial issues arising from the increasing use of data and OTT services. It provides comprehensive insights into the mobile internet ecosystem, facilitating seamless regulatory control and swift policy-making.
