Carriers take closer look at OSS

摘要

Carriers are shifting their thinking about services and network connectivity, increasingly viewing services as applications provided over whatever access infrastructure is most appropriate at the time. This was the consensus view of attendees at the recent TeleManagement World forum in Long Beach, Calif. As next-generation networks come of age, a new range of services will start to become available to users, creating enormous potential for operators to increase revenue per user. Taking these new services to market, however, will be delayed unless important strategic decisions are made now.
