Driven by the changing mobile data/voice model and the shift to next generation networks (NGN), billing vendors are under pressure to provide increasingly complex billing models, yet maintain a simplistic customer interface. The evolution of the mobile industry has rendered a traditional billing models and billing systems untenable, making it critical for operators and service providers to embrace the new billing solutions.
