Putting the value into VAS: transforming the worth of legacy services

Value added service (VAS) models conceived decades ago that have not been phased out are generally a cost to CSPs and an additional operational responsibility. But what if they could be flipped into a source of revenue?

In this e-book we look at several CSPs which are making a new business out of legacy VAS, analyze the challenges and opportunities in the VAS market and consider potential impacts on CSP finances. Read it to find out about:

The role of legacy VAS in a market in a telecoms industry that is still in the mode of cost-cutting and improving operational efficiency
Different kinds of VAS in use and their impact of telco revenues and customer retention
Creating new commercial opportunities out of VAS
