IoT Billing Challenges: Modernizing Telecom Monetization
How IoT Billing Is Transforming Traditional Telecom Monetization
Traditional telecom billing systems were designed around fixed-rate plans and predictable service consumption. However, the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) introduces new challenges as providers manage connected devices, increasingly complex service offerings, and variable usage patterns.
In this episode of the Telecom Reseller podcast, Doug Green speaks with Ryan Susanna of LogiSense about the differences between traditional telecom billing and IoT billing, the challenges of monetizing connected services, and the importance of flexible, usage-based billing.
The discussion also explores LogiSense's work with Viatel, an Irish telecommunications and connectivity provider that reduced its billing cycle time by 75% while improving its ability to deliver personalized and transparent customer experiences.
Listen to the podcast to explore how modern billing approaches can help telecommunications and IoT providers adapt to evolving business models.
