Why is Google trying to change the
mobile world ? (1/2)
            Mobile industry is based on a “ traditional” locked values chain.


                                        Operating
                   Terminal                                  Portal               Operator            Web Contents
                                         System


Examples:




            Entry barriers stop Google from applying its models to the mobile industry:


                                                                      Access restricted to services/contents
                      Limited Network Access
                                                                           and to their improvement

               •   Terminals assigned to a unique operator            •   Operator portals favored over other portals
               •   Difficulty of interconnecting networks             •   Services offered by terminal manufacturers
                                                                          favored over other services
                                                                      •   Closed operating systems



              The mobile industry is not suited for the Google development model
                   based on openness, interoperability and network effects.
                                                                                                                        ..…….

         Why is Google trying to change the
         mobile world ? (1/2)
            In order to duplicate its open model, Google designed a three fold strategy :
                     Android : Open Source
                                                                        Lobbying                            Telco partnerships

                • Android Developer Challenge:            • Google candidacy for mobile             • Pressure from Google to force
                Contest for developers to create          license attribution aims to force the     operators to offer its applications
                new applications for Android              FCC2 to impose an openness                as default options
                                                          clause to the winner
                • Open       Handset     Alliance:
                Common initiative of 34 mobile                                                      • Sharing   of    advertising

                distributors) aiming at spreading         Verizon.
                Android

            In addition, Google developed and acquired mobile devices applications :
                       Location-based                                                      Social                    Collaborative

                       that will be fit to the distribution of its products and monetization model.

Why does Microsoft fear Google ?
     Google’s ambition isn’t limited to “in browser” Web services, but extends to
     any online or offline application market.
     Google sets out to enter the online application market, MSFT’s cash cow :


     Disruption of offline application                Consolidation of the online
            market segments                                 environment

How Google wants to compete with Facebook ?
     In 2007, Google launched Opensocial : a series of multi platform API allowing
     developers to create compatible applications with partnering social networks,
     Ex : Slideshare application available on Linkedin and hi5




     OpenSocial is not a Facebook competitor but a «meta-social network ».

                    Network effects

     this data, leveraging network effects.

Why is Google buying satellites ? (2/2)
     Internet infrastructures is actually Google’s business
     infrastructure:
          Traffic on Google websites depends on internet infrastructure development and
          availability (Backbone, Wifi, Satellite,…)


     Google has three objectives when investing in the upstream part of its value
     chain:

            Strengthen and secure existing      •   Strengthening and securing existing infrastructure
                    infrastructure                  lightens Google’s dependancy on its providers


                                                •   Favouring high-speed Internet access means more
          Favor high-speed Internet access          time spent and usage volumes, thus increases
                                                    Google services usage

             Prioritize Internet access for     •   Future web users are Google services’ next
         unconnected countries or populations       users



      Through infrastructures investments, Google reinforces its traffic providers
                         and increases access to its services.

Is PageRank a really competitive
advantage ? (1/2)
     PageRank is Google’s link analysis algorithm that measures the probability
     that a page will be relevant to user’s query :

           Based on the correlation between the amount of links towards a page and their
           relevance
           It accounts for the notoriety of the sites that link to the page in question

           PageRank’s simplified formula is :

           (A page’s (u) PR is the sum of all PRs of pages linking to u (v), divided by the respective number of
           outbound links contained in pages v)



     Google1 claims that PageRank is one of its search engine’s main competitive
     advantage :

         A « champion of                     The search engine’s                     A tool unlikely to be

What is a network effect?

  • A network effect describes how a service becomes more valuable to its
      users as more people use that same service




  Phone’s utility is limited if      The utility for a user            According to Metcalfe’s
  the network is composed            raises if the network             law, the utility(U) of a
  of 2 users                         broadens                          network is proportional to
                                                                       the square of the number
                                                                       (n) of its users
                                                                             U ≈ k*n2




                    Network effects creates critical masses of users.
                They represent significant barriers to entry for competitors.

What is a two-sided market?
     • A two sided market consists of a platform allowing 2 groups of
           clients/providers to interact and which optimizes the revenue distribution
           among these groups with the objective of maximizing market sizes.
 Exemple of the video game market

• The platform may charge a side                                       • … or subsidize a side
       • Example 1 : Apple Appstore charges                                    • Example 3 : Google Android finances
           developers by taking a revenue share                                    developers through a contest
           on sold applications                                                •   Example 4 : Youtube finances video
       •   Example 2 : Microsoft makes                                             content providers
           consumers pay for video games




                                          Who should you be charging?
                                           Who should be subsidized?



    The platform must subsidize the groupe that is most price-sensitive and charge the
                  group that is most sensitive to the other group’s size.

 1 Provided the sum of price A + price B is a fixed figure, a platform financing a group automatically charges the other group
 and vice versa                                                                                                                  ..…….
