Meeting expanded expectations for network charging

Communications service providers (CSPs) are striving to find new sources of growth in areas as diverse as IoT, B2B services and solutions, AI and network APIs. As a consequence it’s time to rethink the role charging plays and how it’s delivered.

CSPs need to view charging more strategically as a flexible capability to monetize the use of mobile network resources and functionalities. This should include the ability to monetize different network parameters and seamlessly integrate them into the user experience. In increasingly software-based and cloud-native networks, real-time charging solutions can enable CSPs to generate new value in the form of customer experience and revenue, in more differentiated and granular ways, just as metering does for hyperscalers.

Read the report to learn:

  • Why CSPs need to rethink network charging beyond 5G
  • What charging needs to deliver for both monetization and CX
  • How telcos can learn from hyperscalers’ approaches to cloud metering
  • How new AI opportunities may force a charging rethink.
