The article “Continuous improvement – The march of the mobiles” is about the non-
stop development of the mobile industry. In the beginning, the author shows the
example of a new source of growth in the mobile industry. After that, he mentions the
problem of the mobile industry: it is almost saturated and the reason for it. Next, he
finds the solutions for mobile companies such as new products, new services, … At last,
the writer believes that there is no limit to the potential market for mobile
communications.
Task2: (4ps) Read the text and answer the questions
1. Is there no limit to the potential market for mobile communications? Why?
In my opinion, I think that mobile communication will be continued to develop without
any limitation because the producers always know how to exploit their market. If their
product cannot be sold with their customer for their use, the Producer will continue to
produce the product for the customer’s pet, household, … so that their development
cannot be limited.
2. “The march of the mobiles” means
The march of the mobiles means
3. The oft-quoted statistic means .........................................................................
4. What are the two ways in which mobile phone companies can boost revenues?
Continuous improvement
The march of the mobiles
Is there no limit to the potential market for mobile communications?
WHEN it comes to new designs for mobile phones, the model announced last week by a
start-up based in Scottsdale, Arizona, really takes the biscuit. Shaped like a bone, it
operates only as a speakerphone, picks up automatically when called, is mounted on a
red strap for wearing around the neck, and is labelled with a large paw—because the
PetsCell, as it is called, is a mobile phone for dogs. PetsMobility, the firm behind this
astounding device, boasts of “Connecting every member of your family—even your pet”.
This is not quite as ridiculous as it sounds. Indeed, you can expect more examples of this
kind of thing in the coming years. The reason is that the mobile-telecoms industry has
become a victim of its own success. With sales of 600m units a year, mobile phones are
simultaneously the world's most widespread communications devices, computing
devices and consumer-electronics products. Almost everybody in the developed world
now has one, and growth is booming in the developing world too. China is the world's
largest market for mobile phones, and Africa is the fastest-growing. In the least
developed parts of the world, entrepreneurs such as Bangladesh's “telephone ladies”
rent out mobiles by the minute, putting phones into the hands of even the poorest. The
oft-quoted statistic that two-thirds of the world's population has never made a phone
call is no longer true.
As a result, the industry is frantically looking for new sources of growth, since it will not
be able to rely on subscriber growth for much longer. And in the developed world, it
cannot rely on subscriber growth even now. Hence the logic of selling phones for dogs.
Another untapped market is phones for infants: Communic8, a British firm, has launched
the MyMo, a simple phone aimed at four-to-eight-year-olds, while SK Telecom in South
Korea offers a similar device, i-Kids, with built-in satellite tracking. And even when every
human, cat and dog has a phone, there are always cars, laptop computers, household
appliances and industrial machinery. Install a phone and some sensors inside a
bulldozer, and it can call a mechanic before it goes wrong. DoCoMo, Japan's leading
mobile operator, estimates that the potential market for mobile phones in Japan is at
least five times the number of people.
Another approach is to encourage people to use their existing phones more than they
do at the moment. Third-generation networks, which will offer lots of extra capacity, will
lead to lower prices and, the industry hopes, more phone calls. Similarly, there is much
excitement about “fixed-mobile convergence” (see article), a technology that allows
people to use their mobile handsets to make cheap calls at home over fixed-line
networks—again, it is hoped, boosting usage. Extending mobile coverage, so that
subscribers can make calls wherever they are, is another tactic. Coverage is already
available in underground railway networks in many cities, and within two years it will be
extended into what is many people's last remaining phone-free environment:
aeroplanes.
When everyone on earth is on the phone all day long—calling their dogs, cars or washing
machines, if not each other—will the market finally be saturated? No. Plans are already
afoot to stream music, video and other downloads to mobile phones in the dead of
night, when networks are almost empty. Even being asleep, it seems, need not prevent
you from using your phone. Evidently the industry has far to go before it reaches the
limits of mankind's desire to communicate.
Question 1:
Write a summary of the reading text in Unit 4: How about now?
Write an essay to explain why some of the traditional methods of advertising and marketing
do not work.
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Consumers are becoming more aware and rejecting the traditional sales messaging, which
makes advertising become one of the most perplexing eras in its history. The traditional
method seems not to work much for these reasons.
To begin with, the media has grown increasingly fragmented and diversified. To be more
precise, in the past, there was no online world or social platforms, making it much simpler for
marketing to reach individuals, for example, the company simply required a single TV advert to
reach a big number of people. Furthermore, advertising will have to determine which platform
is most effective in attracting customers. Companies frequently spend tons of cash to span all
outlets, which is only for their product being seen as common on the internet, television, and
newspapers.
Moreover, buyers are today more knowledgeable and skilled. Because individuals tend to reject
traditional sales pitches in many kinds of websites, social networks, … this provides a significant
issue for the advertising sector. They are frequently irritated by being inundated with too many
advertising messages on a technical level. As a result, when advertisements are shown to
viewers, they will have a trend to ignore them. For instant, Viewers seem to skip away from the
advertisement on Youtube or the film they watch because this advertisement blocks them from
the content they are watching.
In a nutshell, the advertising sector is experiencing a time of turmoil, with consumers being
overwhelmed by numerous types of communications and individuals becoming increasingly
bored in conventional ads.
