"Operators can leverage their Wi-Fi capabilities to offer a range of services that can differentiate their fixed broadband tariffs from those of their competitors and can help to raise ARPU."
FTTP technology is becoming mainstream, and differentiation based on speed and price is increasingly difficult. Operators can differentiate their fixed broadband services by including connected home services in their retail tariffs to add value to their broadband packages.
