Telcos utilizing traditional billing systems are at a clear disadvantage. Charging and billing prepaid, postpaid and broadband services distinctly under different platforms is not ideal for a telecom business, especially in the current scenario. As competition skyrockets and profits via staple services like calls, SMS and internet data diminish, the ARPU is decreasing fast. To counter this loss of profit, it is essential to come up with services that evoke customer trust and interest. This is where convergent real time billing system comes into the picture.
