The impact of connectivity on the automotive industry is massive. But the ways

choose one specific carrier SIMs must be programmed for a specific, region-based
carrier Few pricing options are available Customer interfaces for buying
connectivity are an afterthought Who pays for connectivity is not settled The
Council is convinced this is about to improve quickly. Customers will soon buy
cars with programmable SIM cards, their choice of carrier. They will be able to
select pricing models on the car's screen, and subscribe/pay on the spot.
Annual, monthly, daily…and even one-time rates will be offered. Also, customers
will be able to choose which services they want to enable in their car, such as
safety only, infotainment, or hotspot Wi-Fi. In our meeting about the Connected
