Remote Service Provisioning and eSIMs: Implications for the Consumer Market - Research and MarketsResearch and Markets has announced the addition of the "Remote Service Provisioning and eSIMs: Implications for the Consumer Market" report to their offering. "Remote SIM provisioning specifications for consumer devices, announced by the GSMA (News - Alert), may cause considerable shifts in the telecoms value chain, and operators must devise action plans to respond to some of the likely outcomes." In February 2016, the GSMA announced its specifications for remote SIM provisioning on consumer devices (including wearables and tablets) sing eSIMs. In June 2016, specifications for smartphones will also be released.

This report provides: - An assessment of the impact of, and uncertainties around, eSIMs, focusing on their extension to smartphones in particular. - An analysis of the effects of eSIMs, both in terms of short-term changes (for example, on churn, market size, smartphone channels, service design and pricing), and long-term moves (including the growing appetite of handset vendors and Internet players to move into service provisioning).
