The telecommunications industry has changed drastically over the past two decades. Combined computational power together with the new telecom infrastructure have made the world very well connected. Now, the millennials use 4G connection on their smartphones to stay online, download applications, watch television, play games, read and do a lot more. This ever-increasing customer demand has led to telecom companies offering a diverse portfolio. Earlier, they only provided landline connections and basic mobile services for making voice calls and sending text messages. Today’s telcos provide broadband services, television services, mobility services, audio and video conferencing services, VPN connections, private lines and the list goes on… What does that mean for telcos? A complex billing scenario! Billing for just one or two products was simple. But with telcos moving to a quad play service strategy, billing for a gamut of products that they offer, is pretty challenging. The voice components, broadband components, cloud services etc. in telecom companies are built in different systems and platforms.

  • Verizon Wireless - Price Of Demand

    1350 Words  | 3 Pages

    Verizon Wireless cellular service is inelastic because the products and services it offers makes them the dominant leader in the wireless industry; therefore, a 10% change in calling plan prices (monthly access fees) would not affect the quantity demanded. Verizon Wireless can depend on this inelasticity in their pricing model because of the strength of its brand and the wealth of products and services it offers. Verizon Wireless' competitive advantage comes from its ultra-low churn rate (the percentage of customers who disconnect their service is less than one percent of its 60 million customer base). This indicator suggests that customers are satisfied with the service Verizon Wireless offers and a slight price increase probably would not drive its customers to the competition. This data also suggests that customers probably stay with Verizon Wireless because of its continued expansion of new technologies and services such as its all-digital nationwide CDMA network, ‘EVDO' or its advanced data network (used to wireless send and receive email and other data almost anywhere in the US), and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) that they use for their Push to Talk products. Verizon Wireless markets to a nearly all demographics nationwide and most of its services are offered in the smaller rural markets as a direct result of the one billion dollars per quarter it spends on improving its network as well as acquiring smaller wireless networks to make their nationwide network stronger and larger.

The main aim of this Act is to enable any communications firm to enter the market and compete against one another based on fair and just practices (“The Telecommunications Act 1996,” The Federal Communications Commission).
