Apparently Telcos are faced with implementing the following algorithm
to create value-added services:
- Take service S with provides value Y
- Artificially remove value, creating new service V
- Price V at the same level as S
- Offer old S at a higher price point and market it as a "value added"
service, compared to V
One would have thought that "value added" referred to well, *adding*
value to what already exists, not rehashing current offers and
artificially limiting them.
But then again, I don't think like a marketing person.
If you want a funny look at a not-so-funny and grim possible future
scenario, you might want to read this:
