2012 saw the introduction of roaming regulation enforced by the European Commission; a strategy which has seen telecom operators in the region come under increasing pressure to minimise the cost of voice based services for end-users. Whilst this comes as good news to users throughout the region; CSPs are facing a pivotal moment in the industry, and must devise new strategies which will guarantee revenue generation as we move in to an age of ever-increasing data consumption brought on by data-heavy applications and services.

As customer experience and loyalty remains an increasing focus for operators, the challenge in place today is to somehow encourage data usage abroad, whilst ensuring users feel comfortable roaming and can place a high level of trust in their operator; without returning home to a “bill shock” scenario.

The long awaited arrival of LTE 4G services will also see operators wrestle with the challenge of ensuring seamless connectivity to the network and the efficient provisioning of applications and services.

Also finding the right place for the potentially revenue disrupting Wi-Fi, and devising strategies for monetising Machineto- Machine roaming; the industry is in a state of transition and
must work in unison to traverse this new landscape. The potential emergence of OTT players into the roaming market, meanwhile, presents a threat of disruptive capabilities not yet fully understood.

In this unique, timely and unmissable conference; IIR’s 7th Annual Roaming World Congress 2013 will encompass and provide realworld operator & regulator led solutions to address the entirety of the challenges facing the roaming industry today, and will provide you with the tools to navigate your way across evolving roaming landscape.
