"MÄRCHENLAND IM COMPUTER
...
Vor 35 Jahren liefen in den USA schon viele kleine Computer wie der Apple II oder der seit 1981 verkaufte IBM PC. Eindruck machten aber große Rechner mit Dutzenden Schränken. Was in ihnen tatsächlich vorging, enthüllte ein Werk von Steven Lisberger: „Tron“ Dieses wurde am 9. Juli 1982 uraufgeführt und gilt als erster langer Computerfilm."

So geschehen im Seminar "Grundbegriffe der VWL und BWL":

Teilnehmer: Ja, hab ich damals im Kino gesehen.
Alex: Und ich als Kind im Fernsehen.
Caro: Ich letztens bei Netflix!

Vortrag Carola Wondrak & Alexander Elsas: Digitalisierung in die Hand nehmen


Im Rahmen der Unternehmerbegegnung der Initiative Wirtschaft am 7.7. in Bad Godesberg referierten Carola Wondrak und Alexander Elsas zum Thema Digitalisierung in die Hand nehmen.

Kernpunkte dabei waren, dass Digitalisierung kein Selbstzweck ist, sondern insbesondere von den Erwartungen der Kunden getrieben wird.

Deshalb ist eine proaktive, schrittweise Vorgehensweise zu empfehlen, die die Kundenerwartungen als Ausgangspunkt nimmt und dann auch Veränderung im Unternehmen bewirkt. 

Zur Zeit ist dabei insbesondere der mobile Zugriff als wichtiges Kundenbedürfnis zu beobachten.

Prepaid-Datenvolumina

In Deutschland sind die bei den wichtigen Prepaid-Anbietern angebotenen Datenvolumina bei gleichbleibendem Preis größer geworden. Die Laufzeiten haben sich aber durchaus geändert, typischerweise von 30 auf 28 Tage.

Um eine Vergleichbarkeit der verschiedenen Angebote zu ermöglichen, bietet es sich an, das Datenvolumen pro Tag, das man für einen Euro erwerben kann, zu berechnen. andere Inklusivleistungen wie SMS oder Gesprächsminuten bleiben dabei aussen vor.

So ergibt sich beispielsweise für den neuen ALDItalk 300:
 1,25 * 1024 / 7,99 / 28 =  5,72 (Megabyte pro Euro pro Tag)

Der vorherige ALDItalk 300 kommt auf 1024 / 7,99 / 30 = 4,27 (Megabyte pro Euro pro Tag)

ALDItalk 600: 2048 / 12,99 / 28 = 5,63 (Megabyte pro Euro pro Tag)
All-Net-Flat: 3072 / 19,99 / 28 = 5,49 (Megabyte pro Euro pro Tag)

ALDItalk 300 ist hier besser als 600 und All-Net-Flat, immer nur auf das Datenvolumen bezogen.

Internet-Flatrate L: 1,75 * 1024 / 9,99 / 28 = 6,41 (Megabyte pro Euro pro Tag)
Internet-Flatrate XL: 5,5 * 1024 / 12,99 / 28 = 15,48 (Megabyte pro Euro pro Tag) 



Entsprechende Berechnungen für weitere Anbieter und Tarife folgen.

ALDItalk und Identifikation

Ab dem 1.7.2017 muss sich jeder Käufer einer Prepaid-SIM in Deutschland identifizieren, z. B. mit dem Personalausweis.

ALDI-Süd bietet die Identifikation in den Filialen selbst an.

Der Versuch das heute schon zu testen, scheiterte leider daran, dass für die Filial-Identifikation die neuen Startersets die Voraussetzung sind.

Und in "meiner" Filiale noch nur die alten vorhanden waren: Experiment und Bericht verschoben ...

Update 31.7.17: 
Da ich noch nicht zu einem neuen Versuch gekommen bin, hier die Erfahrung anderer: https://www.teltarif.de/aldi-talk-prepaid-identifizierung-kasse-test/news/69193.html
