New Approaches to Telco Customer Care


New approaches to customer care -- In today's intensely competitive telecoms environment, proper, timely and relevant customer care is absolutely vital to the future success of operators and service providers.

In this short panel discussion, Keith Willets, chairman of the TeleManagement Forum, bluntly says that "telecom operators do customer service differently, they do it quite badly." Furthermore, where other industries have apparently learned to use web based self-service and self-help to improve customer service, the telecom sector lags the market leaders by primarily outsourcing call centers to countries with low-cost labor.

Willets suggests that the solution to help broadband service providers to catch up is to fundamentally rethink the way that customer service is delivered.

Rise of Software-Defined LEO Satellites

From my vantage point, few areas are evolving as rapidly and with such profound implications as the space sector. For decades, satellites were essentially fixed hardware – powerful, expensive, but ultimately immutable once launched. That paradigm is undergoing a transition driven by Software-Defined Satellites (SDS). A recent market study by ABI Research underscores this transition, painting a picture of technological advancement and a fundamental reshaping of global connectivity, security, and national interests. LEO SDS Market Development The core concept behind SDS is deceptively simple yet revolutionary: decouple the satellite's capabilities from its physical hardware. Instead of launching a satellite designed for a single, fixed purpose (like broadcasting specific frequencies to a specific region), SDS allows operators to modify, upgrade, and reconfigure a satellite's functions after it's in orbit, primarily through software updates. The ABI Research report highlights ...
