With a vast selection of networks, carriers, tariffs and content to choose from, revenue is increasingly under attack from a variety of sources.

According to operator estimates, 3% - 15% of revenues still go uncollected, which amounts to around $140bn dollars a year globally.

With the market moving from simply eliminating weaknesses to an end to end revenue maximisation strategy, Revenue Assur

ance is mission critical for both increasing revenue and encouraging a greater focus on accounting and billing transparency.

In it?s 8th year, this operator lead flagship event will offer you a great opportunity to explore the latest on how you can achieve low cost, high ROI, fast returns with minimal investment by implementing a proactive RA strategy in your department.

With over 150 participants at the 2007 event, the conference has built a reputation as the EMEA?s largest dedicated gathering, and in 2008 will provide even more opportunities for both learning and networking.

From managing a mature Revenue Assurance function and implementing effective cost management strategies to dealing with new services, the event will offer a one stop shop for all RA professionals.

The aim of UMA is that it enables you as a GSM mobile operator to offer fully converged connectivity using your existing core network. Your subscribers will seamlessly roam from your cellular network to a WLAN, maintaining the call as they move from one to the other. If UMA happens then true seamless fixed, mobile roaming could be a reality for GSM operators. By attending this unique industry event, you will understand how it can work for you.

Key speakers at this event come from companies such as:
- Orange
- BT
- Turkcell
- Motorola
- Kineto
- Verisign
- Ericsson
Plus many more…..

As cellular operators increase the variety of services and applications they offer to their customers the issue of in-building coverage increases in significance. Also, all mobile carriers aim to accelerate the fixed to mobile substitution trend. Both dual-mode handsets and home base-stations will be used by operators to enable them fulfill their strategies. This report compares a dual-mode handset service such as UMA with femto-cells which will become commercially available before the end of the year 2007.

Key issues discussed at this conference include:
• Although UMA technology is already available and deployed by a number of cellular carriers it is not yet used with 3G. The UMA standard will not be fully compliant with UMTS before the end of the year by which time home base-stations will have been made commercial. A large number of UMA enabled 3G handsets is not expected and therefore it seems that femto-cells which can work with all UMTS terminals have an advantage when it comes to 3G.
• Pricing strategies for both UMA and femto-cell services
• Will there be applications specific to femto-cells which will initially relate to presence based activation
• Will Femto-cells be used with standards beyond HSPA and as some vendors claim using home base-stations first, carriers can delay their investment in macro-cell infrastructure.
• Although femto-cells are expected to have a negative overall effect on the dual-mode handset market will both technologies be expected to survive with new handover techniques based on SIP such as VCC emerging.

Key questions will be answered at this senior networking event – such as:
1. Exactly how many femtocells will be in operation till 2012
2. How to target the market for UMA & femtocells?
3. Which platforms and networks will be most successful in UMA
4. Which services, features and opportunities UMA and femtocells will support?
5. Who your major competitors and partners will be in this market?
6. What are the opportunities, drivers and threats for producers and operators?

Who will read this report? Directors, VP and Senior managers in:
- Mobile/ Cellular carriers and operators
- Fixed/ landline/ broadband carriers
- Infrastructure vendors
- Femtocell access point vendors
- Wi-Fi vendors
- Semiconductor manufacturers
- Software vendors
