  • Going the Extra Mile - A Reliable Guide in a New Era

    A venerable concept in American popular culture is the idea of "going the extra mile"--pushing past "good enough" to "above and beyond". Given the hyper-competitive environment in which CSPs find themselves, this concept can be a reliable guide to managing their business...

  • Paris TAW - Very Active for the Revenue Management Initiative

    For those of you whose schedules did not allow attending Team Action Week Paris 2011, those who did attend would undoubtedly attest to the fact that you missed a real "barn burner" as we say where I grew up (for those of you to whom this is a puzzling colloquialism, let it suffice to say that...

  • Crossroads in Paris

    Coming out of Management World Americas in Orlando last month, it was clear to me that the Revenue Crunch theme of the conference had ample attention by the attendees and the industry in general.

  • Is Revenue Assurance a bubble?

    My kids like all kids are enjoying themselves by doing bubbles. Either with bubble gum, chewing constantly, or with that sophisticated liquid, which consists of water and correct ratio of soap. What might be said about all bubbles is that soon or later they will blow. We are living in very interesting...

    Barbara: First, thanks for the interest. There is a lot of activity and attention falling on the Revenue Management Initiative, so more help is always greatly appreciated.

  • Re: What are your thoughts on real-time for Postpaid?
