Summary
Over the top (OTT) messaging
leaders are rapidly evolving their key mobile messaging application
interfaces to new voice and video communications, with revenue
dilution implications for carriers worldwide. The progress made in
mobile IP voice and video in the past year alone from key OTT players
such as Facebook and Google is a clear indication of heightened
mobile communications competitive pressure from these new players in
2016 and beyond. OTT players are transforming their communications
apps into rich media platforms that serve as social networking hubs,
offering a number of media services. Apps built on top of messaging
enable users to solve broad problems. Messaging becomes a hub for
consuming content and making transactions. Still, we argue that OTT
communications providers need partnerships with carriers, to garner
scale and differentiation.

- WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger represent the most disruptive OTT communications players in the market. Monetization could be highly disruptive.
- A number of partnership opportunities are emerging as carriers are growing convinced that they can generate revenue from OTT communications. The challenge lies in business tie-ups and infrastructure capabilities.
