OSS BSS Solutions Market Growing Rapidly in India
The phenomenal growth in the Indian telecommunication industry has led to the increased demand for Operation Support System and Business Support System (OSS BSS) solutions. Decreasing Average Revenue per User (ARPU) in a predominantly pre-paid telecom market has forced Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) to look for alternate sources of revenue in terms of Value Added Service (vas) and increase focus on customer satisfaction. They also have to meet increasing demand in IT requirement to cope up with rapidly increasing subscriber base. These factors have fuelled growth of OSS BSS solutions brought about by emerging services like Service Delivery Platform (SDP), which help in faster rollout of services. more

Telecom Argentina - SMS Drives Growth as Cellular Continues to Outperform
In its third quarter results for 2008 Telecom ArgentinaÃ's Personal unit recorded its fourth successive year-on-year increase in quarterly average ARPU - an impressive result in a market which now has a penetration rate of 104%. ARPU did not increase sequentially, quarter-on-quarter, but did match the eight-year high of P$42 per month recorded in Q4 2007, up from P$39 in Q3 2007. So what has been behind the trend? It was not voice usage: the 16.8% increase in carried minutes to 2.99bn was almost excactly in line with the 17.5% increase in the size of the customer base over the year, leaving AMPU almost flat at 86 per month in Q3 2008 versus 85 a year earlier. Rather, it was data usage - specifically SMS usage - which has driven the increase in expenditure. Total outgoing message volumes on the Personal network in Q3 2008 increased 68% in the year and 41% in the quarter to 4.8bn - an extra 42 messages per customer per month compared to last year, and an extra 35 compared to the previous quarter. more
