3 World Migration 03 The Importance of Global Communications Growing interconnectedness of the world nowadays has resulted in an ever-increasing need for global communication. There are countless reasons for people to need global communication, which include, but are not limited to: Business Partners, Family and Friends, Transnational Corporations. The number of migrants around the world is rising every year. A United Nations report points out that in the past decade, the global migrant stock grew twice as fast than during the previous decade. Talk The need for a cost-efficient and reliable way to communicate and connect with the world will rise exponentially. The challenge is to deliver reasonably-priced services with a reach that is truly global and does not apply to just selected countries. info@onem.com

4 04 The Evolution of Communications Word of mouth Postal Services Telephone Telegraph Mobile Phone Internet ONEm Communications Limited 2015

5 World Migration 05 The Evolution of Long Distance Communication Word of Mouth Communication by word of mouth was one of the greatest advances achieved by mankind. The ability to communicate verbally and linguistically drastically improved the efficiency with which humans worked and allowed for the transmission of complex ideas of almost any description to be conveyed by one person to another. Smoke signals are one of the earliest forms of visual communication invented by man. Early recorded uses for smoke signals were devised by Chinese dynasties as far back as the 7th century BC, where beacons were used to man the Great Wall of China to warn of impending attacks from their enemies. Disadvantages Smoke signals are distinctly limited however, in that their meaning must be pre-agreed and understood. Smoke signals are only able to communicate basic ideas unless complex methods are used. Postal Services The letter is the forerunner of all modern communication as we know it. People have been sending letters since ancient times - The first recorded postal system was during Ancient Persia around 550BC. The infrastructure has developed over several centuries for no other reason than to transport messages between different parties. The introduction of mail delivered by rail in 1862, or international air mail in 1927, broke the boundaries of communication that had previously been impregnable. People could suddenly send letters quickly, to any corner of the world. The sixteenth century saw the founding of the modern postal service by King Henry VIII, who created a Master of the Posts and a concise delivery system; the rest of Europe soon followed in England s wake. The nineteenth century saw the introduction of stamps, which is what gave rise to the concept of pre-paying for post and deliveries. Disadvantages There are a number of disadvantages to communication by mail. Letters take a long time to arrive at their destination and more importantly, they can be lost in transit, or even damaged. info@onem.com

6 06 Telegraph Although the idea to use electricity to transmit signals dates back to the eighteenth century, it was only in 1883 that the first telegram was actually sent. The telegraph was a revolutionary milestone in human communications. Samuel Morse invented Morse Code to communicate via telegraph over long distances. For the first time in human history, messages could be sent and received instantly over many miles. Disadvantages People were only able to send short messages as they were charged per letter. Moreover, privacy was not guaranteed. Telephone With the increasing penetration of the telegraph across countries, the race to improve its function began, with the aim of allowing people to use their voices. On the 10th March 1876, Alexander Graham Bell famously called his assistant Mr. Watson, which became the first ever voice call. The public demand for telephone had, at the time of its invention, been understated. After a presentation by Alexander Bell in 1876, the then US President Rutherford Hayes commented: It s an amazing invention, but who would ever want to use it? In 1915, the first transcontinental phone service was inaugurated in the USA, and speaking with someone thousands of miles away became possible. Disadvantages The cost and latency issues of long distance communication over telephone constitute the main disadvantages of this type of communication. ONEm Communications Limited 2015

7 World Migration 07 Mobile Phone In 1973, the first prototype of a mobile telephone became a reality. This prototype was never manufactured on a large scale, nevertheless it did take the first step of taking the mobile into the user s hand. The first commercialised mobile phone was the Motorola Dynatax 8000x which was released in 1983, ten years after the first prototype. The first GSM mobile was born: the Orbitel 901 in 1992, which was also the first phone to receive a commercial SMS text message. In 2006, the real computer age started. The term smartphone became common as more and more mobile phones incorporated more sophisticated functions. Over time, phones have become smarter, more technical and multi-functional. Nonetheless, voice calls and messages have remained the most important features of the phone. However, the user habits related to calling have changed over time. As technology has advanced and transformed, so has the way people contact one another. Internet 1. Cost Efficiency In recent years, VOiP has been at the height of global communication, especially for long distance calls. However, due to the flexible nature of these services, operators are finding that they are not generating the same revenue. The main reason for this are: 2. Global Reach To use internet-based communication tools their users pay only to access the internet. As communication over the internet offers great savings, there is a tendency to turn to the internet communication when making long distance calls. Users of internet-based communication tools can reach anyone who has access to internet because it works on a global scale. ONEm brings the advantages of internet-style communication such as global reach and cost efficiency to traditional mobile communication. As ONEm operates over traditional GSM networks, it delivers superior quality and reliability, which is often missing in Internet communications. Therefore, ONEm is an excellent medium to satisfy global communication needs, especially the needs of migrant population around the world. info@onem.com

8 08 World Migration Individual and group migration is a phenomenon that has been present throughout human history. There are countless reasons behind human migration. Over the centuries, people have migrated due to diverse economic, social, political, and environmental factors such as: - Pursuit of higher standards of living - Business opportunities - Political/religious persecution - Inequality - Natural disaster - War Today, migration continues to rise globally. The United Nations estimated that there are 232 million international migrants across the globe. In the World Migration report, the United Nations state that almost half of all migrants live in the following 10 countries: USA 45.8m Russia 11m Germany 9.8m Saudi Arabia 9.1m UAE 7.8m UK 7.8m France 7.5m Canada 7.3m Australia 6.5m Spain 6.5m ONEm has conducted extensive research into the world s migrant population. The migrant population is a sizeable market whose global communications needs are currently not met. As such, this is a lucrative market where ONEm can provide a solution. This is demonstrated in the following maps of migrant populations. ONEm Communications Limited 2015
