Light Reading Survey: 38% of Operators have Policy Management Plans

 

Debra Baker (picture) reported to Communications Technology on Light Reading's  "Policy Management in the 4G Era" event held during CTIA 2011 last week:

"According to Graham Finnie, [Chief Analyst, Heavy Reading] .. 30 percent of 70 operators polled seven months ago said they had no policy-management plan in place, while 38 percent said they did. However, with the predictions of how much mobile data will be consumed in the next several years, not having a way to monitor and manage usage just seems shortsighted".

"The bottom line is that DPI gives operators the tools to begin charging subscribers for the data they use, and isn’t that the whole idea?"
