Mental Health Awareness Week | 13-17 May 2024 At Vodafone, we'll be observing Mental Health Awareness Week, it's crucial to remember that our well-being is just as important as our productivity. The week serves as a reminder to prioritise self-care and support each other in maintaining good mental health.   In fast-paced environments, it's easy to overlook the signs of stress or burnout. Let's take this opportunity to check in with ourselves and our colleagues, offering a listening ear and understanding support.   Remember, it's okay not to be okay sometimes. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let's continue to foster a culture across all our working environments, where everyone feels safe to speak up and seek assistance when needed.   Together, we can break the stigma surrounding mental health and create great workplace cultures that value and prioritise the well-being of everyone.   Take care, Sheryl Vodafone #mentalhealthawarenessweek

What is IoT and How Can it Help Your Business? Vodafone Business has led IoT connectivity for over 30 years. IoT connects devices to collect and exchange data, transforming business operations and daily life. How Does IoT Work? IoT devices gather data and transmit it via wireless networks. This data is processed to provide insights that drive actions, like adjusting smart thermostats or scheduling maintenance. Benefits of IoT - Manufacturing & Transport: Automates production and optimises supply chains. - Agriculture: Enhances crop yields and conserves water. - Energy & Utilities: Improves efficiency and detects leaks. - Service Sectors: Streamlines operations and creates new services. Vodafone Business IoT helps you implement and manage IoT systems to fully realise their benefits. #IoT #VodafoneBusiness #SmartTechnology #Innovation #Connectivity

How Connected Are You? Interesting study from Mobile UK that shows 80 per cent of people drastically underestimate the level of connectivity they rely on for every day tasks. With the demand for connectivity growing year-on-year, it also calls for better resourcing in planning for mobile infrastructure to help ensure connectivity for all.

Mobile services are the best valued by Spaniards consumers, compared with other utilities, but if you look to main reasons for dissatisfaction with services (percentage of households/individuals, IV Quarter 2023) it looks like pricing is the key, as Fixed Broadband, Mobile Internet and Mobile Telephony receive the worst valorations in terms of Service Quality! Maybe this justifies the low cost battle and the continuous growth of MVNOs (with a main focus on low prices).

"The future of fibre is collaborative, not competitive." - Wil Wadsworth, CFO of Netomnia At the recent UK Fibre Summit, Wil shared a vision for Altnets that's both bold and pragmatic. Here's why it matters: - Collaboration is the new competition. Smaller players must join forces or face extinction. - Scale smartly or get left behind. Capital efficiency trumps rapid expansion. - Customer experience is everything. Without it, even the fastest network is worthless. Controversial take: Ofcom missed the mark on overbuilding. Are we repeating past mistakes? The Altnet revolution is here! Are you ready to adapt or will you be left in the digital dust? #FiberFuture #AltnetRevolution #DigitalDisruption #FibreNetworks What's your bold move in this evolving landscape?

Stuart's Wednesday worries. The Silent Threat in Telecoms: When Low Prices Mask High Stakes In the telecommunications arena, a seemingly beneficial trend of low-priced entry points by the Alnets is setting a massive trap for the unwary consumer. This low pricing strategy, designed to rapidly build a customer base, hides a stark reality that few are willing to discuss. These alnets, once they have sufficiently scaled, become ripe targets for acquisition by the industry's behemoths. Post-acquisition, the result is a dramatic reduction in market diversity and an alarming potential for price increases—imagine paying up to 75% more for the same service overnight. Here’s the part that truly concerns me: There’s a widespread silence on this impending issue. While consumers enjoy short-term savings, they are unwittingly walking into a long-term price gouging scenario with little to no recourse. Current regulations and consumer protections appear insufficient to curb such market consolidation that could lead to monopolistic behaviors. Moreover, the typical consumer is already burdened by annual CPI increases imposed by ISPs. Promises of 'no mid-contract price hikes' from alnets become meaningless once these companies dissolve into the portfolios of larger corporations, leaving consumers without a safety net. As an industry, we must confront these critical issues head-on: Is short-term consumer savings worth the long-term cost of reduced market competition and increased prices? What proactive steps can regulators take to preserve market diversity and protect consumer interests? The time for a serious conversation on this is now. Ignoring these warning signs puts us on a path to a less competitive market and a disservice to consumers. Let’s not shy away from the tough discussions necessary to ensure a fair and competitive telecom industry. #Telecommunications #MarketDynamics #ConsumerRights #Regulation #IndustryTrends
