3G, GPRS,
Femtocells, VNO, Content, New Product Development.
New technologies and the new product development process represent
the "black hole of issues" for the typical RA professional. Unstable
technologies, untested products and under-analyzed promotions can
cause more revenue loss in one day than all the leakage
combined for the past year.
In this 1-day class, we examine the
nature of new technology deployments, the unique risks they
represent, and the standardized methodologies being developed for
their management. Detailed review of the "state of the art in" 3G, GPRS,
VNO, Radio Side Billing, Femtocells, Content, and the New Product Development
Process will be
considered.
