MEF will be providing thought leadership at Management World Americas through a number of activities, as follows:
Content Sales Reporting – Mobile Content & Advertising Revenue Management Catalyst
The TM Forum have taken the work completed by MEF on CSR in 2008, particularly the findings regarding revenue leakage of up to 10% due to inaccurate and inconsistent sales reporting, and have worked in collaboration with SwissCom, CVidya, SAS, Netezza and MEF to develop a demonstration of a working model to address these issues. MEF Policy & Initiatives Director, Suhail Bhat, will be present at the Catalyst area of the Orlando exhibition hall to give a number of presentations and explain the issue and opportunity in more detail. Please contact Suhail directly if you wish to arrange a meeting to discuss CSR or MEF’s role within the mobile entertainment ecosystem in more detail
