Internet of Things (IoT) Trend
IDC estimates that there will be 28.1 billion Internet of Things (IoT) units installed worth approximately $7 billion revenue in 2020.
The impact of Internet of Things (IoT) on telecom billing
With the potential for billions of devices to be connected, the amount of consumption and usage information being generated is massive. How that information will be billed for and mined for intelligence is the key. This would represent tremendous opportunities for billing systems and telecom solution providers on how to monetize the usage economy.
As more complex business models emerge, the billing systems that only support one business model will diminish over time. Agility is critical for the IoT billing solutions. The billing solutions must be able to support the agile needs of a business as changes occur rapidly in pace with technology.
With the wide usage of IoT, the implemented billing system really needs to be much more than just a billing system. It needs to be more like a monetization platform that acts as the active corporate master for everything an organization offers to the market and all customer data
