The session, entitled “Creating Personalized Pricing for Next Generation MVNOs” will be held on Tuesday, 8 November at 9:45 a.m. Redknee’s Director of Business Line Management for MVNE/O billing, Namit Garg, will outline that key strategies for MVNOs to launch personalized pricing, differentiate their services and effectively target their niche market begin by having the agility to draw from subscriber data and have better insight into subscriber behavior. Taking lessons from MVNOs across the globe, the presentation will highlight the value that personalised promotions can bring to MVNOs. In addition, key strategies on how promotions can effectively be scaled as multiple connected devices come to the market will also be discussed. Mr Garg is responsible for Redknee’s multi-tenant converged billing portfolio, which is currently deployed in major customers including Digicel, Inmarsat, Viacloud, Telefonica, i-wireless, Zon, Orange and KPN Spain.

Chris Newton-Smith, Redknee’s Vice President of Marketing, commented that the recent projections by Wireless Intelligence that the number of MVNOs will exceed the number of Mobile Network Operators by 2013 shows the changing dynamics that the market is currently experiencing:

“Advances in technology, devices and next generation services are opening a renewed opportunity for MVNOs to carve out niche offerings. The competitive pressures that service providers are facing today underscore the need to effectively segment the market and have a strong marketing strategy. Timely, personalized promotions can be a key part of this strategy to ensure that MVNOs not only differentiate their offering to the market but also sustain growth.”
