18. uventa Case 9: Connectivity (Including 5G) !18 • Sharing of faster and regulated local connectivity for reliable service to device • Instant monetization of diverse connection types through smart contracts • Enables local connection prices purely based on supply and demand in the area • New business models to use idle capacity for non- prioritized traffic Benefits Blockchain can enable a new generation of access technology selection mechanisms required for the realization of 5G networks Source: Deloitte 1
19. uventa Case 10 - IoT !19 • Self-managed, peer-to- peer networks taking over regional routing • High security levels for IoT devices within public blockchain networks • Low-cost setup options for SME purposes Benefits A blockchain allows for highly secure peer-to-peer self-managed mesh networks using a sufficiently large number of nodes. These blockchain network nodes can be represented by single embedded IoT sensors with the ability to verify every block being changed within the blockchain * Source: Deloitte
20. uventa Additional Cases: Cerillion, Analysis Mason, Gartner !20 # Case Description 11. Newer revenue models Smart Contracts (contracts written on code) will be used for autonomous M2M transaction scenarios such as electric cars paying an autonomous charging station for power. Blockchain will also enable micro-payment business models for mobile operators. And businesses will be able to offer ‘Blockchain as a service’ to content providers who can use this infrastructure for access control and payments. 12. Support BSS/ OSS processes Through standardisation and process simplification, blockchain will support a number of BSS/OSS processes such as number portability, billing and flexi eSIM provisioning. For number portability, the technology can assist by removing third- party clearing houses and allowing number porting events to be routed from one operator’s blockchain to another, with validation by each operator’s network. Blockchains can also be used to counteract roaming fraud. Today, the home network typically cannot detect subscriber fraud until after it has been perpetrated – leaving it without a redress mechanism. This type of fraud can be mitigated by establishing a permissioned blockchain with the relevant home network and visitor network as parties to a smart contract-enabled roaming agreement. 13. Digital asset transactions The extremely low transaction costs enabled by blockchains (compared to those of credit or debit card transactions, for example) make them amenable to micropayment-based business models for digital assets, including music, mobile games, gift cards and loyalty points. 14. Smart cities Public blockchains are particularly suited to use cases where high levels of transparency and auditability are required, such as smart city initiatives. Blockchain-enabled smart charging stations are being explored by German utility RWE, while South African start-up Bankymoon allows smart meter users to pay for electricity with Bitcoin. # Industry Vertical Examples of How Blockchain Can Reinforce for Each Vertical 15. Media and entertainment Manage, access and secure data for content services (access and expiration rights). Disintermediate publishers, and music or movie studios through blockchain-enabled smart contracts, digital rights protection and payment distributions at lower costs. 16. Financial services Certain activities are currently delivered via the traditional control and centralized authority of financial services institutions, such as secure and trustworthy financial transactions, including settlements and customer interactions (for consumers and businesses). Blockchain can be used to automate and increase the speed of settlement, and save costs by reducing the need for clearing houses. 17. Healthcare Data integrity, exchange and interoperability across healthcare facilities, billing, claims adjudication, transaction management, drug supply chain reliability and origin, and any other use case involving data integrity and security. 18. Transportation, automotive Combined with IoT capabilities, tracking and proving the legitimacy of transactions related to the transportation of goods; and validating potential disputes with transporters or shippers related to crashes or damaged goods. For automotive: spare parts, warranties and secure car repairs, supply chain management, digital car maintenance, and more. 19. Energy and utilities Payments and charging directly to a smart meter, connected homes, smart city/ smart grid, wholesale settlements, distributed/decentralized energy enablement models, and energy P2P sharing. 20. Government Counterfraud/accountability, supply chain integrity, smart city, smart grid/ energy and local government, health and educational improvement initiatives. Enhance operations, smart contracts, transaction and payments, automation, national land ownership, and civil registrations (such as birth, marriage, divorce, death, and citizenship certifications). 21. Online businesses, manufacturers, retailers, suppliers and logistics (supply chain) that distribute physical products to their customers Businesses powered by supply chain, such as manufacturers, retailers, suppliers and logistics providers, can manage their transactions via blockchain-enabled smart contracts.

37. uventa Blockchain Limitations and Challenges for CSPs !37 # Limitations Implications Advice 1. Security issues Private blockchain deployments relax the security conditions in favor of some level of trust in centrally controlled identity and support for peer-to-peer business relationships Develop solutions that preserve the essence of blockchain by working on use cases that add trust to all nodes of the network 2. Lack of real use cases that offer blockchain as the superior solution Even though blockchain is a hot topic right now, most of the efforts do not proceed beyond POCs, e.g., usually due to an inability to scale at a reasonable cost Work on real business cases that currently have no proven solution where blockchain will be the superior answer to that problem 3. Issues with scalability and flexibility The current generation of blockchain business projects fall short of becoming a global-scale, distributed platform that can work like a complete end-to-end solution for the business problem, e.g., due to interoperability challenges Define a timeline of project phases. Ensure the use of open source for the platform and APIs. Map out the limitations of interledger interoperability and the impact on broadscale deployments 4. Nascency The blockchain offering offered currently (true for most large-scale organizational projects) is not at a very advanced level Do not become fully invested in a largescale project; monitor Gartner's Hype Cycle as part of your planning initiatives Source: Gartner
