	FreeMove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		FreeMove is an alliance of several European mobile telecommunications operators, designed to provide better service integration for its members' roaming customers.
		Currently FreeMove comprises movistar (Telefónica's mobile subsidiary), Orange (France Télécom's mobile subsidiary), TIM (Telecom Italia's mobile subsidiary) and T-Mobile (Deutsche Telekom's mobile subsidiary).
		Parts of Europe which are notable by their absence from the FreeMove network include the entire Nordic-Baltic Sea region, and the Republic of Ireland.

		FreeMove was established as a counterweight to the growing global empire being established by mobile operator Vodafone.
		Indeed, some developments at FreeMove may appear to have no immediate impact on the end user, such as co-operation on handset sourcing: the results of this may only become fully apparent as the networks increase their range of third generation (3G) handsets.
		FreeMove is extending this, by offering a single Blackberry tariff across the alliance's countries, including the UK, France, Italy and Spain.

		FreeMove, the mobile alliance formed by Orange, Telefonica Moviles, TIM and T-Mobile, has signed a Framework Agreement to provide pan-European mobile services for Fiat.
		FreeMove will streamline FIAT's mobile communications by providing the company with a broad portfolio of innovative services, including global reporting and analysis, dedicated account management and a personalized customer service support team, all of which allows for cost-effective management and a transparent view of mobile line usage across its European operations.
		Customers are benefiting from FreeMove's compelling voice and data roaming offer, based on a simple and predictable zoned tariff structure that is the same regardless of the network to which the user's handset connects.

	Operators tout FreeMove ‘easy roaming’ alliance \| The Register
		Launched under the name 'FreeMove', the scheme is intended to provide handset owners exactly the same experience abroad as they receive at home.
		By promoting FreeMove's ease of use alongside the names of member companies, the operators hope that their names will be the ones most likely chosen when customers start up their handsets in a new country and are presented with a list of local providers.
		The corporate communications market is estimated by the FreeMove partners as worth €4bn a year, and they reckon it will be easier to pitch as four networks operating as one to such customers than as four individual operators.

		The brand represents simplicity, quality, and reliability and will be used in conjunction with the members' existing brands, assuring customers that they receive the same enhanced mobile experience abroad as they do at home.
		FreeMove alliance members have succeeded in ensuring that its customers have access to the same familiar home services, like voicemail or customer service, that work the same way abroad as at home.
		With its combined footprint, the FreeMove alliance already operates in nearly 90 percent of the European territories in which MNC's are located, enabling it to respond to the needs of this market.

		FreeMove will initially focus mainly on the European business market, which it says is worth 4bn euros (£2.7bn; $4.9bn).
		FreeMove is the second such alliance in the European mobile market, dwarfing a venture between nine firms including Britain's MMO2, Swiss-based Sunrise and Norway's Telenor.
		Although all four firms in FreeMove are active internationally, none has pushed its brand so aggressively into overseas markets as the British firm.

		This, however, is exactly what FreeMove says it has achieved through the 'alignment' of its members' international bidding process (and the creation of a single point of contact) for MNC customers.
		What FreeMove has done is to compile a list of target MNC customers, which it feels would benefit from the collective footprint of its alliance members.
		Both FreeMove and Starmap emphasise the need for 'consistency' and 'seamlessness' across multiple territories--that is, replicating the end-user experience on the home network when roaming abroad.

	Report
		By launching the brand name FreeMove, the mobile alliance of Orange, Telefonica Moviles, Telecom Italia Mobile and T-Mobile has set its first public steps towards pan-European mobile services to both business and consumer customers.
		The most obvious next steps for FreeMove to make the alliance a success, are to initiate a large brand campaign, to launch roaming schemes for voice and data services, and to introduce products and services on a short notice.
		When FreeMove is able to keep the commitment of all members and acts on a short notice, it fulfils the basic conditions to be successful.

	Mobile alliances in Asia-Pacific (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The main regional groupings are split between GSM operators associated with SingTel (Bridge Alliance) and SingTel's competitors (AMI), akin to the European split between Vodafone and its rivals.
		The European alliances, Starmap and FreeMove, are said to be courting Asia-Pacific operators.
		Few Asian operators have the kind of scale seen in Europe: of the top 20 global operators by subscriber numbers, only the Chinese, Korean and Japanese operators feature, and they have the clout to form independent partnerships, so the first priority for Asian operators must be scale and reach.

		The increased presence of loose affiliations such as FreeMove, Starmap Mobile or the i-mode operators will slow any consolidation drive, providing many of the advantages of scale without the pain often associated with mergers and acquisitions.
		FreeMove in particular has set an impressive agenda, its 230 million customer footprint attacking the heart of Vodafone’s scale advantage both in terms of multinational service provision and equipment sourcing.
		While many eyes in W. Europe look east for further growth potential, that region will offer only slow progress to operators looking to grow their presence.

		This would have given the operators a common brand and a differentiator, particularly in the consumer market, but so far, despite rumours that DoCoMo is seeking to get out of its stake in Hutchison 3, nothing has materialised.
		This leaves StarMap in the uncomfortable position of being a band of also-rans, with all the problems of in-fighting and conflicting agendas of FreeMove, but without the purchasing clout.
		FreeMove will be run as a non-profit subsidiary under Dutch law that will be managed equally by the four members' CEOs.
