Interconnect billing is becoming more complex with the advancements of carriers, pricing structures and increase of traffic. It is more crucial than ever for communication service providers to ensure accuracy and efficiency of their interconnect arrangements. Effective interconnect arrangements have become key to the operations of an increasingly wide range of services.
Thanks to the increasing number of operators throughout the decade, we are also seeing more interconnect occurring as well. This is driving the competition within the telecom sector and interconnection is now a critical factor for the viability of the telecom competition. It is for this reason that proper interconnection arrangements are needed, while inadequate interconnection arrangements will only cause additional cost, technical problems, as well as inconvenience for businesses and consumers.
