Network service providers are finding that they need to work increasingly hard to maintain their place in the content value stream, battling the combined currents of declining data profitability and exponential growth in network usage. One way to combat these disturbing trends is to look both downstream and upstream: to cater not only to downstream consumers but to the upstream content partners as well.
Network service providers are finding that they need to work increasingly hard to maintain their place in the content value stream, battling the combined currents of declining data profitability and exponential growth in network usage. One way to combat these disturbing trends is to look both downstream and upstream: to cater not only to downstream consumers but to the upstream content partners as well. Service providers’ long-established business operations have developed assets and capabilities that are highly valued by the purveyors of content. This report, sponsored by Intec, examines these assets and how they may be used by operators to swim against the tide of the data revenue challenges facing them. Intec’s Business Support System software helps over 60 of the world’s leading operators to take charge of their revenue streams, optimising revenue and increasing profitability to ride the wave of opportunity presented by content demand.
