Abstract
This IDC study defines and provides the worldwide revenue opportunity for the telecom billing market. The key questions addressed include:
- What issues are top of mind for operators as they reevaluate their billing environments?
- What are the top drivers behind operators' billing transformation projects?
- How will the advent of Web 2.0 services affect the billing market?
- What role will content services play in the billing market over the next few years?
- How will geographical differences affect the growth of the billing market?
"While the core of the billing market remains large transformation initiatives and managed services contracts, smaller billing projects and opportunities in emerging markets will contribute to the market' s growth over the next several years," said Shira Levine, senior analyst, Next-Generation OSS and Billing. "Operators of all sizes and in all regions recognize the risk of becoming ' dumb pipes,' and understand the critical role that billing will play in the rollout of advanced, revenue-generating services."
