<title>VAS portfolio management step by step</title>

<link>http://www.bercut.com/en/mcenter/view.html?id=398</link>
<description>&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Today, the increase of competition in the matured markets has forced operators to reduce the cost of a voice call for the subscriber. Given such market conditions, the operator must implement value-added services (VAS) in order to compensate for the decrease in overall ARPU.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<title>How to make value-added services business-critical?</title>

<link>http://www.bercut.com/en/mcenter/view.html?id=397</link>
<description>&lt;i&gt;The world recession and saturation of the mobile communications market poses new challenges for large operators. Previously, during the emergence of the market, the operator's main task was to increase its subscriber base and then grow the minutes of use (MOU) per subscriber. Today, the operators are forced to reduce the cost of a voice call in order to retain the customers. That, of course, leads to a decrease in revenues from this basic service. Therefore, the operators must find out alternative sources of additional revenues.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

<title>Ring Back Tones: steady increase in ARPU — is it a dream or reality?</title>

<link>http://www.bercut.com/en/mcenter/view.html?id=391</link>
<description>Today, mobile operators treat the RBT service in different ways. On the one hand, RBT is a “must have” service. On the other hand, RBT attracts only early adopters of the service — technology enthusiasts and visionaries that primarily react to striking offers. This does not contribute to ARPU growth. Early adopters are keen on experimenting with new features, hence they cannot provide regular service usage. Moreover, enthusiasts and visionaries constitute a low-profitable subscriber segment. The question is: how to attract the high-profitable subscribers?</description>
