An Overview:
In the world of telecommunications the mobile phone sector is growing at an unparalleled rate. In China the rate of mobile phone sales has already overtaken the rate if fixed line. This seems to be a growing trend that will soon follow into Europe. One of the fastest growing areas within this sector is the boom in sales of offline handsets. As market grows, so do the numbers of companies trying to compete within the sector. However there are a number of obstacles faced by both buyers and suppliers. These obstacles are caused in part by the rapid growth and in part by inefficiencies that exists within the market today. We will illustrate what the obstacles are and how we intend to enable buyers and suppliers to overcome them through using this site.

 

What are the problems facing the Industry today?
HANDSETS: Currently, there are several different network systems and numerous types of handsets in use across the globe. These include GSM, PCN, Analogue, CDMA & PCS and this list is set to grow with the onset of new systems such as GPRS and Third Generation G licenses. There are 3 main markets for these products; Europe, Asia & Africa (GSM/PCN & Analogue), Japan (CDMA) and America (PCS & AMPS).

BUYERS & SUPPLIERS: There are several types of buyers and suppliers that can be readily identified. They include Manufacturers, Network Operators, Agents, Distributors, Wholesalers, Brokers and Retailers. Each has differing purchasing and sales strategies.

STOCK: Stock can be offered in various states or conditions. Theses can be broadly categorized as: Original SIM Free, SP unlocked, SP unlocked, or New, Refurbished, Reconditioned/Second Hand. In addition sale of stock may have conditions attached. For example the stock may need to exported or disposed of, etc.

PAYMENT: Payment terms possibly pose the biggest barrier to entry into the market today. Upon submission of an Irrevocable Confirmed Purchase Order (ICPO), the larger suppliers may require a Bank Comfort Letter (BCL) and demand payment by Letter of Credit (L/C) from a well recognized American or European Bank; others may require a deposit to secure stock.
Although this protects the suppliers form time wasters it is time consuming for all parties involved and can have serious repercussions on the buyer's cash flow.

DELIVERY: Depending on the terms and conditions imposed at the point of sale, the current location of the stock and the shipping location of the customer, delivery can be immediate or take up to two weeks. The longer the delivery time, the greater the risk on the customer that the price may drop.

PRICE: There are several factors that effects price, but the general trend is for prices to fall over time as a phone is replaced by more current models. However due to the imperfect nature of this market, prices vary almost on a daily basis.
