Monday's Guest Post: What Monetization Strategies should Operators Adopt to Make the Best Use of Subscriber Data?

A new guest post will be published on Monday - "Virtualizing Subscriber Intelligence through Data Federation" by my 36th guest, Indranil Chaterjee.

"The Internet of Things is changing the very definition of what we call “a subscriber”.  By 2020 some pundits estimate that there could be as much as 50 billion connected devices. The range and sheer volume of subscriber data will soar and it may even overwhelm some operators who are unprepared. As everything from cars, offices, retail and home take on the role of “subscriber” and begin uploading their data – what monetization strategies should operators adopt to make the best use of subscriber data? Says Indranil.

Stay tuned!

Sandvine Adds Web Browsing QoE Measurements

Sandvine announced the "..introduction of new web browsing quality of experience (QoE) measurements ..  included with all Sandvine deployments, and allows CSPs to measure, in detail, the web browsing experience of their subscribers in both fixed and mobile networks, broken down by location, CDN, peering-link, device-type, user-plan, and other factors.

The feature dynamically builds a comprehensive library of profiles associated with a web page that is either popular with subscribers or otherwise designated as important by the operator.



Combining these profiles and real-time measurements made as web browsing traffic flows through the network, the solution examines more than 20 attributes for each page load and then translates these measurements into a web browsing quality of experience score (on a scale up to five) that corresponds to subscribers’ real-world experiences.
