Policies & Regulations: 801 - Telecommunication Regulation Fundamentals

2011-07-21T07:32:30-04:00

As in many other industries, regulators of the telecommunications industry have aimed to bring affordable products and services to the general public, while at the same time allowing participating companies to make adequate profits.

Over the last few years, there has been a step change in digital communications, which have had a dramatic effect on the way people live their lives and conduct business. Broadband technologies are becoming the base upon which people and IT systems are enabled to communicate electronically ubiquitously, rapidly and cheaply, resulting in a high level of innovation and a wide range of economic and social benefits.

Regulation is fundamental to the realization of the networked economy, as it plays a central role in setting a vision for the evolution of the telecoms market including, crucially, the types of market structure that will emerge. This is particularly the case with broadband telecoms, as first, in these early stages of deployment, the market needs structures that encourage the widest availability of cheap broadband as rapidly as possible, and second, market structures determine the extent of innovation within the telecoms industry itself, for example in applications and services, a key ingredient in achieving the networked economy.

As the EU and USA consider new regulatory approaches to electronic communications, this course explains what the new legislation means for the evolution of the telecoms industry, both now and in the future. The course aims to question some aspects of conventional regulatory approaches, on the grounds that they risk losing some of the full benefits of the networked economy, and considers the big regulatory challenges that lie ahead.

The course makes some important contributions in the area of our economic understanding of the empirical results global telecommunications markets.

Telecom Billing: 2205 - Billing Mediation Fundamentals

2011-07-22T03:04:19-04:00

In a telecommunications network environment, various Network Elements like telephone switches encode and store accounting data, known as Call Detail Records (CDRs), in different formats. The mediation Platforms collect this data, converts it into a normalized output format, and then distributes it to third-party applications such as billing, traffic analysis, fraud management systems etc.

These platform enable service providers to tie in multiple types of network elements into a homogenous architecture. It can handle multiple switches with wide variety of network interface options. It is scalable, open, flexible and highly manageable and is available as a simple low-cost platform to high-end high-availability clustering platform.

This course is the guide to telecommunications billing mediation. The outline encompasses the entire billing mediation processes end-to-end, with major focus on the interfaces with OSSs, BSS, network management, and CRM.

Prerequisites: This is an introductory course with no prerequisites.

Cost: $1599, Duration: 2 Day(s)

Telecommunications fraud training covers all the aspects of telecom fraud including PSTN, NGN, Mobile, 3G, 4G, UMTS, LTE, VoIP, IPTV, gaming, content.

Objectives:

"Telecommunications fraud is one of the largest causes of revenue loss for service providers," said Mr. Idelson. "With the advent of new services such as 2.5G, 3G and VoIP, and as telecom fraud becomes increasingly sophisticated, this problem will only become compounded. To combat this, service providers will need advanced systems that can detect all types of fraud. Failure to do so may result in substantial revenue loss, and no operator can afford that today."

Prerequisites: None
