London To Host Carrier Strategies Forum

IIR's inaugural Carrier Strategies Forum will focus on the strategic, commercial and regulatory issues and challenges facing carriers today.

In the move towards Next Generation networks and services and in the face of increasing regulation surrounding such issues as roaming, termination rates and access, how can carriers develop profitable and sustainable strategies? How can carriers achieve the rapid and cost-effective deployment of new services and how can you find new revenue streams in order to survive in a market with reducing margins?

Key topics to be addressed on the programme include:

- Identifying and overcoming the challenges of migrating to an NGN infrastructure
- Achieving the rapid and cost-effective deployment of new services
- Preparing for the emergence of new IP based services
- Determining how to ensure carrier grade QoS for increasingly complex, convergent services
- Developing pricing strategies that maximise service usage and market share
- Establishing how to safeguard your roaming revenues in the face of increasing regulation
- Examining the latest developments around the Open Connectivity initiative and examining how to leverage it to optimise revenue generation
