"As the rapid ramp-up in data traffic continues to strain the network, operators are looking to better correlate the value of resources consumed to the price charged,” notes Shira Levine, directing analyst for service enablement and subscriber intelligence at Infonetics Research."

“New service and payment models such as hybrid accounts, shared data plans, content packages, and location-based pricing all represent ways for operators to differentiate themselves while generating more revenue from their networks,” Levine adds. “But the bottleneck is frequently their legacy billing and charging environments.”
