[Infonetics]: Comverse, Huawei and Ericsson Lead Convergent Charging Market ($14B/5years)

  

A new research by Shira Levine, directing analyst for next gen OSS and policy, Infonetics Research concludes:

"Comverse narrowly regained the revenue lead in the fast-growing and hyper-competitive convergent charging market, with Huawei and Ericsson close behind, and Amdocs ramping up its market share over the past year .. We expect operators to spend a cumulative $14 billion over the next 5 years on convergent charging software and services .. Many are integrating their solution portfolios with policy management capabilities to enable flexible service bundles that better tie the amount of bandwidth consumed to the price charged".

Infonetics forecasts $3.9B revenues for the convergent charging market in 2016 (see chart); previous report (here) forecasted $3.2B for 2015.
