Mobile phone revenue should return to pre-crisis levels in TIM and clear

High mobile phone revenue of TIM and of course during the first six months of the year should allow the resumption of levels similar to those of 2014. Last year, both operators have recorded growth in mode, but without the strength to match pre-crisis levels. From January till June, TIM's recipe with the mobile service amounted to R $7.536 billion in year-to-year jump of 5.8% (only in the second quarter, the high was of 5.7%). In the R $5.946 billion generated in six months represented high of 10.1% in one year; between April and June, the increase amounted to 11.9%. According to the Director of research and consulting from Frost & Sullivan Brazil, Renato Pasquini, the positive motion is more related to exclusive industry factors – such as the focus on 4 g, 5 g, 4 and high-value customers, migration towards postpaid and consolidating digital services-than "the macroeconomic recovery." " Finally the data growth and added value services [or SVAs] is overlapping the fall of traditional voice services ", signaled the DCI Pasquini. In the case of light, the strong performance in mobile vertical surprise among analysts; asked about the move, the CEO of América Móvil (which controls the course Brazil), Daniel Hajj said that "it is possible to grow 9% or 9.5%" in the year. In 2017, the high of 3.1% in the mobile service of course (to R $11.017 billion) did not allow the 2014 levels (R $11.073 billion) were recovered. Similar scenario was seen in TIM, where 5.1% jump in 2017 (to $14.687 billion) not equaled the R $15.746 billion pre-crisis. This year, the increase registered in the Italo-brazilian company was motivated by issues such as the high average ticket (or ARPU, in technical jargon), which advanced 13% in the mobile segment between April and June, making up 7% melting at the base of users in one year (from 60.8 million to 56.5 million). During a teleconference held on last Friday (20), the now former ceo of TIM, Stefano De Angelis, highlighted the migration of prepaid customers to Control mode as one of the causes of the higher average spending. According to him, the next step "is trying to pass Control to the postpaid users". Today, just over a third of customers TIM (or about 19 million) are postpaid. Second Pasquini, loyalty benefits and customized service can encourage such a move, if offered by the carriers. "The problem is that today the most attracting customers is to increase data quotas." Next to the unlimited voice and free use of certain apps, the extension of franchises is one of the paths followed by the industry in customer-war which intensified in recent months. "There's a certain aggressiveness in the packages offered today," admitted De Angelis, noting that the trend is global. The absolute number of chips already active in Brazil, on the other hand, follows in fall: the Country closed may with 235 million mobile lines operating, or 6,660,000 unless in the same month of 2017. Competitors in light and TIM mobile telephony can resume the pre-crisis levels this year, different scenarios occur in Hi and Vivo.No this case, revenues with no mode retreated even in 2015 and 2016, considered the worst years for the industry. In 2017, the R $25.388 billion generated by the mobile service accounted for 4.3% of high climate variability. In the first quarter of this year (the second-quarter results come out on Wednesday), the jump was 2.8% registered for R $6.379 billion. Oi, for your time, saw revenues from personal mobility backward 6.4% in the first quarter, to $1.768 billion. Last year, the R $7.415 billion were 2.7% lower mode that in 2016. The company presents the figures for the second quarter on August 13.
