The cost of sociable roaming • 30 minutes of video roaming in Valencia? £30-£450 • 1 hour on Facebook in Florida? £25-£30

• 20 minutes of Britney in Bruxelles? £10 - £60 • The look on the face of the Finance Director when they see the bill…….priceless! • According to Quocirca telecom expense management research

in 2008, only half of UK companies make employees pay in full for personal use of business mobiles (40% don‟t even account for employee personal use….)

Seamless, but with control © 2009 Quocirca Ltd

Conclusions • Still a relentless appetite for connectivity on the move • Personal drivers are sometimes clearer than business ones

• „Ad hoc‟ outnumbers „to plan‟ • Costs need to be visible and predictable

• Business strategy should be seamless with control
