In Pursuit Of A Successful Launch(A Small Carrier’s Perspective) • Information is key • Individual partner requirements (eg. fraud) • PRL cycles (eg. times per year, manual or OTAF) • Implementation time frames (approval process, testing procedures) • Resources • Capital (features/systems/equipment) • Skill sets (different from your local business) • Additional support functions (fraud, PRL, ciber billing) • Keeping Abreast • Not just voice (Data, SMS, MMS, Inter-standard, Prepaid) • Industry Changes • Conferences • Carrier relations
For The Larger Carriers(A Small Carrier’s Perspective) • We need your support • More can be done so let us work even closer together • Co-marketing (co-sponsor a sign, do a press release) • Promotions (tourist associations, conference organizers) • Communications (roamers are oblivious, welcome SMS) • Help me to understand your PRL process • Do not under estimate the potential (lots more money to be made)
