Two Different Business Model Alternatives:
SHS signs 3-5 year agreements with is business partners. In line with the terms of the agreement, SHS undertakes the infrastructural investments of its partner as well as related maintenance and updating responsibilities.
SHS's business partner, in turn, may choose in between two distinctly different business models:
- According to the revenue sharing model, a certain share of the revenue generated is shared by SHS and its business partner. The revenue sharing percentage changes between 20-35% in proportion with the magnitude of the investment undertaken by SHS.
- According to the seller's model, the full control of the revenue and pricing belongs to the property owner who pays a certain fee to Swisscom for every piece of service sold.

Dijital Television (IP-TV):
The convergence of TV, multimedia and in-room entertainment represents one of the most powerful differentiation opportunities for hoteliers. Today, their guests spend in average less than 60 minutes per day watching TV, simply because their favourite TV channels and home entertainment are unavailable and the Pay-TV offering is limited. Imagine your guests finding their home TV channels, plugging the iPod and listening to music on professional loudspeakers, enjoying their preferred series in high definition format, selecting a documentary suiting their real interests, and feeling like at home…
This is where SHS makes the difference. Coupling the latest technology and profound guest insight, SHS is about to deliver a new generation of interactive television with a wide range of programs in a simple manner. Expected to launch in early 2008, our IP-TV service will not only delight guests with a new TV, multimedia and entertainment experience; it will also optimize the hoteliers’ investment in high-definition TV flat screens.
